НЕ ВСЕ ТАК ГРУСТНО NOT ALL SO SAD

I didn’t want to write reviews about holidays in Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, and it’s written a lot (it’s hard to write about trips to the country, since we fly there only on burning ones), but I decided to dig for this hotel. The hotel is not as bad as some tourists say. The food is really not a fountain, but we weren't hungry. Breakfast - scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, pancakes, yogurts, fruits, cheese, buns, tea or coffee. Lunches and dinners are also quite decent (2-3 meat dishes, 2-3 fish dishes, side dishes, salads, soups), but in general we didn’t go there to eat. Drinks-yupi. From alcohol they took only beer and gin and tonic. Strongly food and drink were not abused, so it did not work out with poisoning. The hotel area is green and quite well-groomed, but rather long (400 meters from the beach to the reception), but it didn’t bother us personally. Beach in 3 levels, entry into the sea pontoon. Sunbeds were always free, despite the fact that the hotel was full of tourists. But the sea is of course super, and the fish and the reef, all why they flew. There is a diving center on the beach (trial dive is free then $ 35 for 20 minutes) try to eat something to see, especially since experienced instructors work there. From entertainment - in the evening, the animators arrange some shows by the pool, but we did not go. In the evenings we went to Naama Bay or walked to Soho. Soho was preferred (no one sticks like buy a shell and says nasty things after you). We took an excursion to Israel at a travel agency on Naama Bay, they ask for $ 100 per person, they bargained for 80 (do not listen to the guide, everything is the same as he has only without intermediaries). About the trip itself, the impression is twofold. The first is the border, to stand for 5-6 hours, and when passing through control, questions like what is your mother’s name (as if they know), with the slightest suspicion, a personal search and interrogation after which they may not be allowed into the country at all (I’m really not kidding, we saw a guy with whom they did this). Then run to the bus to make up time. Then swimming in the Dead Sea and a snack (I can’t say that my wife doesn’t use cosmetics, but soap for 10 dollars and mud for 20 is a pure divorce). Bethlehem and Jerusalem also run and jump to be in time everywhere. Conclusion - a day is not enough, although for 160 dollars it seems like they visited. Yes, be sure to find out from the guide what to wear and take with you. The result - flight and accommodation with grubs 800 dollars, excursions, gifts, etc. about 400 dollars. That is, for this money it is difficult to count on a royal reception. As for discrimination, I don’t know, they didn’t notice, they always turn to me, Mr. or Sir, and to my wife, Madam, or something like that, but to anyone with respect. It’s just that if a person remembers something about himself, then it’s not a fact that it is so, but from the outside it’s better to know (a mouse will never become a tiger). Regarding rudeness and obscenities in pursuit, you will someday watch drunken compatriots - Ali Baba, come here, and then a mix of English (the school curriculum that I remembered), Russian obscenities and the language of the deaf and dumb on the fingers, here are the Arabs and grabbing culture. And more than one Arab will not begin to show signs of attention to a white woman for no reason on her part, especially if she is with a man. And lastly, before traveling to any country, do not be too lazy to read about the traditions and culture of the natives, and maybe this will help you avoid any embarrassment or, God forbid, trouble.
