Fortuna *** - the opinion of the one who had a rest is interesting. What is the probability of getting into a normal hotel? Is it worth the risk, we are flying to Egypt for the first time.

First time - definitely do not recommend! It is better to choose 3-4 tyr more expensive, but choose the hotel yourself! It's smarter.

If you are going to Egypt for the first time, then I definitely do not advise. Do not spoil your impression of the country and the sea. Especially if Fortuna ***
Only a few are lucky, and 90% of tourists get into one of the cheapest options among 3 * hotels from the offers of a particular operator, which means that there will be certain problems with rooms, food, staff and the sea.
For the first trip, all the same, it is necessary that most of your wishes for the rest be taken into account, then there will be a desire to come to the country again, this rule applies to absolutely any country.

I note that Fartuna 3 * and 5 * are very different in many ways, even a good option 3 will not make it to a bad 5

You have no chance of getting into a good hotel by driving along Fortuna 3***, unfortunately. There are no good hotels of this category in Egypt. One thing is good - the beauty of the sea does not depend on the star rating of the hotel. I sincerely wish you that at least the beach and entry into the sea will be good. Stock up on pills to normalize digestion, hand sanitizers. Do not eat ready-made dressed salads. Take some cleaning supplies with you. Believe me, you will have to clean your room on the first day yourself. It is better to immediately give the reception 20-30 dollars in the passport. Then you will be placed in the best of the worst rooms. And, to be honest, replay at least Fortune 4 **** before it's too late!

In Egypt, there are only a few good "triples". And they usually cost like decent "fours".
Therefore, the chances of getting into normal 3 * according to Fortune are very low. It is better not to take risks and take a tour to a specific hotel, even if a little more expensive.

That's where I would not risk going along Fortune, so it's to Egypt, even after six single visits, and even more so the first time. They write correctly, you can spoil the impression of Egypt. It is necessary to choose the hotel yourself carefully according to the reviews, with a good rating. I can't even trust a travel agent to make that choice. I always choose myself, so that later I don’t look for the guilty)))). It is better to spend time looking for a normal hotel than the nerves and money for a ruined vacation. Good luck choosing! I hope Turpravda will help you with this, because it’s not for nothing that people write so much information on the site at the price)).

Fortune is always a risk and as a rule it suits people who clearly understand what they can get, but there is not enough money for a full-fledged good hotel. Fortune is justified for the first time only in 5 stars, and then it may not be lucky on a large scale (((((
It's better not to risk it especially the first time.

Not worth it ......... 3 * in Egypt is not the best option for recreation. There are very few good threes and they sell out quickly, incl. according to Fortune they don’t settle there

The most important thing for the first trip is to have a good TA. In my life, she (it was a lady) played a very big role. I still remember her when I go on my next trip. On our first trip, we were sent to a 5+ club hotel. And then we didn’t want to go worse ourselves .. Since then, we always fly in 5s, it’s better to overpay 5-6 tr. but live even 10-15 days without problems. And if there is no money at all, it is better to stay at home and not spoil the impression of the country with worldly troubles.

I repeat, but the first time you need only 5 *. I know from my own experience.

I agree with previous speakers. It’s dumb to go there even without “fortune” in 3 * ... And those units of normal “three rubles” never fall into fortune.

You can not advise novice tourists "only 5"))) it's just stupid. We must really understand that the quality of the hotel often does not depend on its arrival. Sometimes a bad five is cheaper than a good three. Example: complex Golden Five 5* and Sierra 4*. Don't even put them next to each other! Jasmine 3 *, Shedvan Gold 3 *, etc. are more expensive than many fives. The hotel should be chosen primarily in terms of price-quality ratio, based on your finances. And places in hotels that are not popular are always drained to Fortuna, it is worth going only if the budget is really limited. Miracles don't happen. It is necessary to tune in to a minimum of services, food and everything else)))

it’s not worth risking for your money, you can plunge into poop; it’s better to look at a real hotel, reviews, pictures, etc.

Thank you all very much for your advice. I realized that you saved my nerves and health. Thank you for your time. We first decided to fly to Taba. Does anyone know if there is an excursion to Petra and how much it costs? And how is the road from the airport to Taba, through the mountains? thank.

If you have a charter to Taba, then the road from the airport is not tiring and very picturesque. If you are in Sharm, you will drive at least 3 hours to the hotel. Check with the travel agency. Unfortunately, my data on prices for the tour is outdated. We went there in 2011. Then they took an excursion to Petra from a tour operator. There are not so many street agencies in Taba. There is no competition. Therefore, the prices in the hotel and on the street are almost equal. Then our trip cost about 130-140 dollars. I think everything has gone up in price. Go to a site such as Pegasus and open their page with tours of Egypt. There will be prices relevant for this season. The tour is wonderful. Just be sure to wear comfortable shoes and take clothes with long sleeves. And remember that this tour includes very long walks. As the guide later told us, in total we walked about 8-9 kilometers

The road to Taboo goes through the desert, between the hills, it is flat and paved almost everywhere. We drove 2.5 hours with one stop. Go to the main page of the site in the Forums section, there is a lot of information on excursions. Find Irina Sharm there, she will give good advice.
