Rested from 10/11/2008 to 10/18/2008. The hotel is not bad, although in Egypt for the first time. There are + and (-).
Well, at the expense of the daily change of linen, they lied. They changed it once, and even then, until she pulled off the sheet herself. Towels are changed every day, shampoos are provided. No crocodiles and doves are made from towels. Surface cleaning. What to leave a tip, what not to leave - the same. In general, the staff is friendly. Near the hotel on the right there is a cool shop with leather bags and wallets. Here I bought myself 2 bags of camel. Leather for 70 bucks (very normal).
Food. It seems that there are so many, awesome smells, all the pans in the hands of skilled chefs are jumping, and sorry for the word, "there is nothing to eat. " I mean, you yourself will understand, there is a certain constant set of more or less edibles that you will take from day to day. About baking, no objections. That's only if they came not at the beginning of lunch, but later, then only Crap remains! In the mornings, delicious omelettes are fried, full of chicken products. Their cutlets were unpleasantly surprised - they are in the form of sausages, but with seasoning that gives off spirits. It seems to eat a cutlet watered by Dior. Not only that, I think she is from a camel.

For girls traveling unaccompanied by men, I advise you if you left the hotel, then in order not to be pestered by Egyptian men, do not look them in the eyes and do not stop when they call. They managed to call me both Leyla and Rahma - then neighed to tears. Compliments about your beauty can be heard in a week more than in half a life!! ! Nice, but Egyptians are not my type. I like Kiev more!
Tours. We went to Israel for 90 American. Guide vtyuhivali for 230 and said proudly: "I'm not bargaining. " I tell you: cross the road from the hotel and ask the sellers how to get to the Tatyana tour agency. (Tatiana is the hostess and the agency is located in the building of the shopping center). Do not be afraid, everything is checked, you will not be stolen. You are picked up on the day of departure by a guide on the bus + other people at the hotels (only Russian speakers) and go. We swam in the Dead Sea and went to Jerusalem. Heavy excursion in terms of time. It took 26 hours, but what Unforgettable!!!
We went to Ras El Mohammed on a yacht - it's cool to swim with a mask, snorkel and fins! And who is not on these matters, then sunbathes on a yacht. This tour includes lunch. Romance. $45.
We went on quad bikes for dinner with the Bedouins. Don’t even think of going without arafatki, you will spit dust for 3 days. Ate chicken feet on a grill with rice. Neither hookah nor tea was brought to us. There was just a male dance with a skirt and tambourines, which I saw on the animation in our hotel before. In short - Crap - thrown away money $ 45.

I bought a bunch of souvenirs of all kinds. We went to the Old Market by taxi. The taxi driver twisted 180 pounds in one direction. As a result, we went back and forth, despite the fact that he was waiting for us in a shop with his friends for 3 hours for 100 pounds. And when he brought us back to the hotel, he started brainwashing something like “Well, you understand that this money is not for me, I would throw more pounds. ” I froze and said "I don't understand". With that, they parted ways. Believe me, this is normal money for them. And now the prices: for DT - 1.15 pounds, A-95 - 2.75 pounds. At such prices, I would not turn off the engine in my car while standing in a traffic jam! In ours, it is. They have the exchange rate of the pound against the dollar almost like ours 1 dollar = 5.40 pounds. It is easy for Ukrainians to navigate 1 hryvnia = 1 egypt. lb.
I liked everything and the beach - no puddle. How cool to just wander through the purest shallowness. On the pontoon 200 m and descent into the water. The level is just above the waist, and then deeper. The beach is the best for me. For children, it's heaven.
You can't write everything. In general, if I remember anything, I'll write. Next time I will go to Hurghada for interest. But the hotel is not bad at all! Go ahead and don't be too biased. Good luck!! !
