The agony of choice! Otium golden (now shores hotel sharm) in Sharm or king tut in Hurghada
According to the budget and reviews, we chose two hotels, I understand that they are generally different, but the stars coincided, the pluses for us are king, in that the sandy entry (my husband swims badly), the minuses of the territory and pools are modest, in otium golden the pluses are the territory, fish and the closeness of the resort , cons beach. Maybe someone was there and there and can suggest something? Which hotel (place) is more atmospheric or what, how is the service? First time in Egypt

I was in King Tut in Hurghada, a lousy hotel. The beach is very small, there are no fish nearby, the food is disgusting.

Instead of KingTut in Hurghada, I would have looked at Faraana Reef Resort 4 *, a sandy beach for my husband, and close to a coral reef, one of the best in Sharm. Large territory, pool with jacuzzi, Old Market area. Read my story about the rest in Faraan in my account. I liked it more in Faraan than in KingTut.

Well I do not know. Was in May in King Tut I liked it. The beach is not so hot, well, swimming normally. I didn’t look for fish in Hurghada, and I didn’t want someone else to rub in the water about me, fu. The food is bad, well, damn it, where is it good in Egypt, of course they won’t make borscht and they won’t stick dumplings. We rested normally for 10 days, paid extra 20 bucks for a sea view. They settled in right away. I didn’t use the Internet, I bought a SIM card at the airport and half more was enough and left. They left a dollar for the cleaner, cleaned every day, changed towels, shampoo, shower gel, etc. put every day, in the end there was a lot))). They even asked that he not come to clean every day, so he changed anyway, he came to change towels, but without a dollar)). In terms of price, tog King here, especially on a burning one, will be an order of magnitude cheaper. There are two beaches, one is deep at once, I was scared there, this is Sphinx beach 5, but you can use one owner, there is a small water park in the Sphinx, slides, you can also use it. The second beach is sooo shallow, far to the depth, there are no fish, but as he said in Hurghada, look for fish, why? Then go to Sharm. If you are not afraid that the food is so-so, and eat overseas and the sun, you can go to King here.

That's right. The budget is the most important thing. Maybe you have 1500 bucks, and you gathered here with such money in King))))

If for the first time in Egypt, go to Sharm, it's still a resort, there is a festive atmosphere here, when you understand the intricacies of the Egyptians, you can also see Hurghada. And the reefs and hotels in Sharm are better. Indeed, a strange choice of hotels, but still Otium, with respect, Vova Tour Zaporozhye.

We are here to offer options.
My first vacation in Egypt was in KingTut and we liked it, maybe because it was the first visit to Egypt. The Sphinx was still under construction, the bottom near the construction site was littered with construction debris and the reef was killed there. But there were fish on the reef at King Tutt, there is a second reef further out to sea, there were flocks of young barracudas and reef sharks. The feeding was not bad, the conditions accommodation, animation too.
For those who cannot swim and children there is a shallow lagoon, of course there are no fish there, and there are steps to the depth beyond the first reef. But ... the next year we decided to go there, the hotel is cozy and practically in the city. KingTut restaurant, long queues appeared, food deteriorated. We didn’t go there anymore. These are the old impressions from KingTut.

Shores Golden, one of the Shores chain, is across the road and has no direct access to the sea. The Shores network is very good. Only reef beach, next to Reef Beach, with a pier without a sandy entrance.
King Tut is a very poor hotel, the entrance to the sea is a concrete slab.

Yes, Vova does not know that Sharm is a resort in Sinai, but Hurghada is also a resort in Egypt, but in Africa, and no worse. For a travel agent, it's amazing!
Each resort has its own charms. My wife and I have repeatedly been to Hurghada and Sharm, so we have an idea about them. There are different hotels, and there are coral reefs in Hurghada, and not only in Sharm.
And for Vova - try to organize a trip for your clients from Hurghada to the Sharm el-Naga coral reserve. This is near Hurghada. The best reef even in Sharm I have not seen!
You can, I'll take vouchers from you, I'm from Zaporozhye.
I don’t know anything about Otium, I haven’t been in it, I think that those who were there will write about it.

And again they confuse. The entrance to the sea at the Sphinx is a concrete slab. I wrote about KinTut, where the entrance is a sandy lagoon and there were three steps behind the reef. I do not think that the entire coast was concreted!

In King Tut there was a good DC - called Seva Divers (Egyptian / studied in Poland) - there you will be taken on a yacht for $ 20 a day and see corals and islands ... Shores - 2nd line (was only in Amphora and Aloha - their own network), the food there is better than in King Tut for sure / it takes 10 minutes to go to the sea or it carries beads / the coral is so-so there - the depth is right away

Nothing in King was concreted. The Sphinx has stairs to enter, but the last step is high from the bottom, and I got scratched there, so I swam on the shallow at King.

If you need sand and a budget, look at Merlin in Hurghada, there is a good beach and entry into the sea, if you fly from Kyiv, see Tipiji, there are often good prices on Merlin.

I am constantly tormented by vague doubts that there are no fish lovers in Marsa Alam, there are more fish there than in Sharm and manatees can be seen, and I came to the conclusion that the most beautiful fish is Sinai Only. Do not listen to these specialists, choose a hotel on a budget, just add $ 25 per person to Hurghada and go to a place where, according to reviews, the rest is well organized, norms. entry to the sea and good food.

A well-organized holiday according to reviews and good food according to reviews, it's all subjective. To some, fried peppers are tasty, and to some, caviar is red shit). Well, in general, it is not necessary to talk about acceptable nutrition in Egypt, in fact, as well as about organized recreation. Rest is like rest. Near Odessa, also only without all inc., you organize it yourself and all and ultra all), only if a normal room can cost like Egypt for two.

There are a lot of people near Odessa, wild prices, and most importantly, you won’t get the same level of service for the same money. The sea does not compare at all, the humidity ... Everyone chooses for themselves.

been to Mars a couple of times ... why produce myths? there are no more fish there / dugong = it's more of a legend (% 10-15 chance you will see it) / the water is more muddy than in Sharm / the hotels are worse / it takes longer to get there ... Marsa Alam is a paradise for people with obsessions who think that the further - the better / the more fish ... etc. ))

And it seems to me - stupidly commercialization of the resort. The people both in Sharm and Hurghada have already been several times, they know everything there, quad bikes, Mount Moses and fishing on a yacht are no longer catchy. We need to come up with something new. That's what they came up with. El Gouna is not for everyone. Accordingly, the lower segment is driven in droves into Marsa Alam. And the travel agents themselves invent and spread the myths. It is enough to find on youtube and watch at least one issue of Bambarbia-TV on Marsa Alam. Dugong, by the way, is where you can see.

I fly to Egypt only because of the Red Sea with its corals and underwater world.
I don’t need to go to the Black Sea near Odessa to study jellyfish in general, or where the sewage passes. I understand that you, danich1, don’t swim under water, and you lost a lot that you can’t!
By the way, it was in KingTut that I taught my wife to snorkel (swim with a mask and snorkel) and she is now an ardent supporter of the Red Sea, and give her Sharm or Hurghada anyway, but make sure there is a reef.

And "If you need the sea, sun and water, it doesn't matter where!" So the White Sea can go - there is water, the sun - the polar day is almost around the clock! And in Kherson, it’s also not far from the sea, but you went to KingTut, for free food and booze, or what ?!

I go to a lot of places and food with swill has nothing to do with it. For your information, I also rest near Odessa with free food and swill. Just what do you call free? What is paid with the tour???? And that free swill, you can really only drink for free, I personally took everything with me, and their free acetone bypassed. I travel and look at countries for myself and draw my own conclusions, what kind of swill or food will be there, I don’t really care, I can live a week without food, this circumstance does not bother me. I am not going for food with swill, but to look at the country and draw a conclusion for myself what this or that country and their life is like. Therefore, I never write about shitty hotels or shitty food, it's their food and their hotels, and they have the right to even breed cockroaches, even mosquitoes. and feed our brother the right to whatever they want. I wouldn’t feed at all, I’ve seen enough of our finger-pointed citizens, who don’t like a damn thing, pile on three plates with a slide every day, bite and throw and continue this procedure every day as a given or how they mock foreign people and I’ve seen enough of how ours treat guys at the bar, how rude they are endlessly, and are you still waiting for normal food and drink there?

I understand. what questions to me?
I replied that Egypt suits me because of the coral reefs and their underwater world. If it weren’t for him, it would be enough for me once (in KingTut, by the way). And of course, in winter. You just compared the Red Sea with the Black Sea, the water is salty, the sun is for tanning. I suggested the White Sea, it’s all there too there is.
And free food and booze is a marketing ploy to attract vacationers. that in Sharm, that in Kemer, that in Odessa. It would be better if it was for money, there would not be those pig houses that some vacationers create, and pigs that get drunk for nothing, as they think.
Well, you can go a week without food. Your business!!! After all, I asked, have you ever dived to where the beauty of the underwater world is or not? For some reason, you kept silent, but you lost a lot in this and you would not have compared these two seas then. Here are my answers to your words in the previous post.
