Hi all . we rested as a family 2 + 1 child girl 7 years old) we beat 1 time in Egypt so reviews for those who travel 1 time))
1) choose a good hotel !! ! 90% of your impressions depend on it!
I liked the Citadel! wonderful architecture! all rooms with sea view! numbers as in the photo! we thought vip )) no usual standard ))! great coral reef! 5 pools! jacuzzi ! + 2 swimming pools right in the sea ! ! with sea water! 1 paddling pool)) knee-deep and waist-deep)) 2 deep! very large area of ​ ​ the hotel ! we bypassed 70% in 7 days)) I just liked everything that I didn’t want to go further on the embankment))) everything is on the shore! 4 restiks a la carte + Austrian cakes in Mozart + ice cream + hookah)) in the evening hookah + backgammon + cocktails and all with a view of the sea and yachts)) baldezh)))
2) about food)
as they say in taste and color))

20 varieties of bread + 20 varieties of salad + 20 varieties of cereals + 50 varieties of pastries! cakes and cakes are not measured)))! wife is happy
3-5 types of potatoes + chicken + liver + 2 types of meat)) not a little) but you can do more))) I ate at least to burst and love) there are few 2 types of fish)) And now the sausage is not very ((3 varieties and taste so-so ((but cheese 3-5 sauces! very tasty))
the child ate different crunches) + milkshakes)) they couldn’t tear off by the ears)))
you can go to restik a la carte! brazilian kebabs and meat ! varieties 7) nothing special about the fish! but there are king prawns! big and tasty
3) the hotel is located 15 minutes from Hurghada on the one hand well) no noise and dust) peace and quiet and grace)) from Hurghada 7-10 bucks no problem! but you can’t just leave the hotel ((taxi only an hour later the price is 25 bucks !!!
there is a bus from 5 to 9 pm! ! price 5 euros per person ! 3 people 15 euros)) easier taxi for 25)))
4) excursions
we took 2 tours
1 luxor ! road 4 hours of which 30 minutes in the guide's cafe) 3 cups of tea 5 bucks)) 1 hour Karnak temple then lunch! 10 min crossed the Nile) then again 30 min guide shop) ceramics) valley of the kings 30 min 3 tombs)) the smallest)) so as not to waste time)) because the guide shop is ahead again for 1 hour)) papyrus shop)) prices space) according to on the way they gave tea to everyone)) 1 kg 10 tanks ! ! in the store 2 kg 5 tanks)) in general, for 300 km you are taken to souvenir shops to walk ((clean divorce ! ! and again the road back 4 hours + guide cafe)))
check out at 6 am back to hotel 9 pm ! very tiring! ) price 90+90+45 child ! total 225 bucks))

2 el gouna on a yacht! 2 hours on a yacht there + fishing! on a boat along el gouna ! then an aquarium ! small but very interesting! then, as usual, a cafe + a guide shop))) back to the yacht + lunch)) and swimming on the reef! for those who in the citadel sucks in our hotel the reef is 10 times better !!!!!!! ! price 50+50+25 child ! total 125 bucks! for comparison)) by taxi from Hurghada to El Gouna and back 40 bucks! + 10 bucks to ride El Gouna))) cheaper! easier ! and longer!!! ! although) the yacht has its own joke)))
5) the weather! ! we were from 6 to 13 February! arrived wind nightmare !! ! in the evening in a winter down jacket! well, we think the scribe))) in the morning a light breeze! then 5 days of calm! were leaving again the wind started ! temperature all the time + 25-30 degrees water + 22-23 bathed all the time! warm)) no problem)) we were lucky with the weather))) the temperature there all the time is like that! but how lucky with the wind)) if there is a strong wind! it's very cold!
6) the contingent at the hotel is very calm and respectable! many Europeans 30% and Arabs 30%! but it does not bother at all) strains the Soviet cattle!! ! there were a couple of copies! drunk all the time! and burp under every palm tree! shame on them! ! cattle it is cattle in Africa)))
7) there is no disco! there is a karaoke bar) tourists from all countries sing national songs in turn) on the blue wave! 1 time is possible) but quickly gets bored) there is animation for children) PS3 toys) there are also 2 tennis and 2 billiard tables! + tennis court + bicycles )) and catamarans ) fins mask snorkel for free !!! ! GENERALLY PLEASANT THAT EVERYTHING IS FREE))) ESPECIALLY THE BAR)))
PS You can write a lot more about this amazing country)) but it's better to see everything with your own eyes)) I recommend the citadel hotel for a quiet respectable vacation! you will like it 100%)))
