I will describe only brightly characteristic moments, everything else is at a normal average level.
HOTEL
Service is excellent except for the bars. At the bars, the guys are not rude, but they include indifference, they are treated like cattle that eat free booze. I didn’t drink at all, but even pouring Fanta for me, I endured it on myself.
ATTENTION! Check-in check-out at this hotel is at 14.00 and even if you arrive at 6 am you will "walk" until two o'clock. Same with eviction.
The rooms are normal. I don’t know what others wrote, but our room 145 had a large bathroom - that it was possible to dance a waltz there))) The air conditioner worked perfectly. Cleaned up well.
MINUS is the ventilation in the bathrooms. If you do not close the ventilation curtain, then upon arrival in the room you will stink of shit. We saw it on the second day and closed it, but it was unpleasant.
The kitchen is ordinary. No one was poisoned by this nonsense. Eat less : )

TIP At the Fish Restaurant, make your reservations on the first day. They have small free quotas and many just don't make it. But there is a lot! tasty. Do not regret 15 c. u. go for money.
HOLIDAYERS 90% Russia, 10% Ukraine
The sunbed war is bullshit. Booked in the evening. Every second morning began with a scandal. Get ready for this for sure.
Lots of old ladies, lots of kids. Your eyes will be "pleased" with the bodies of topless ladies over 60, and your ears with the cries of children. I did not care. The husband grumbled a little. In fact, the hotel is a family old woman, there are few young people.
By the end of the holiday, we were insanely fed up - boozy old women, slut girls, children without supervision, a war for sunbeds, the "starving Volga region" in restaurants. That the Arabs had to introduce norms for meat (no more than two pieces in one hand). people that have never seen food with booze. I do not understand.
TOTAL. If you are ready to endure "our jokes" then everything will be fine. We were not ready. In Egypt for the first time and we will never go to "our" hotel again.
ps Excursion to Israel. With Pegasus $220 from a person. With an agency from the street 80 c. u. Pegasus people scare with scary horror stories, but this is nonsense. Don't be afraid to go with the street. No difference. The same buses, guides, etc. With the exception - Pegasus is lucky to the Dead Sea to their beaches, local to urban. No additional fees are needed.
BUT! another moment. With Sharma moving to Israel is very! heavy.
3 hours to Taba, an hour to the border crossings, and 4 hours to Jerusalem. those. In total, you spend more than 14 hours on the bus per day. There were guys who took Jordan for two days + then later regretted it. Very hard. Either go to Taboo or get ready mentally.
