Since the flight arrived very early, at 7 am, I was sure that we would be at the hotel soon. However, with our tour operator Odeon, we brought other tourists in 3 different hotels to ours, and the rest went even further. At half past nine we handed over our passports to the reception with money inside. The guy was not going to settle anyone for a long time, although there were several more families with children and strollers among those waiting. By the way, Elisir's reception serviced the Sultan's buildings, since ours was under repair. We have already walked to the beach and looked at the area. Finally, at one o'clock in the afternoon, we were taken in an electric car to our building with suitcases. I see that they are taking us somewhere far away, but we have paid for the Sultan Beach. It turns out they gave us a pool. I looked at the room and said I wouldn’t check in, they were generally insolent. We returned to the reception, we were still dazed with expectation, and finally they gave us a well-deserved room opposite the beach, building 51. In it and in 47, all rooms have a sea view. As a result, the main torment was over and the rest began. But I didn’t understand why I left a tip at the reception: 3.5 hours waiting for check-in. They cleaned normally, left a dollar, I think that without a tip it would be the same, our cleaner didn’t run away to do anything. At the guest-relationship, she announced our wedding anniversary, they promised fruit, but we did not wait for them. Our building had 4 floors, no elevator. If anyone has problems with their knees, joints, or is just hard, ask for a lower floor in advance. In general, we liked the food, there are not enough fruits and sometimes they put unripe ones. Fish dishes are also very scarce, in the sense that they are so unappetizing and not diverse: bony fish burnt on the grill and steamed dry tuna, and once they gave squids so springy and spicy that they no longer took them. There is a children's table, but there, apart from pasta, children are unlikely to take anything. By the way, they asked tourists from the Harem, they liked the food, from Aquamarine, they said that it was like in the canteen.
I had to chirp from our beach in the heat for 12 minutes to the central one for all sorts of dances-shmantsy, yoga-crogs, because I can’t do without fitness annealing, all the more free. Plus animations in Domino, that if you didn’t have time for your yoga in the morning, there are all programs there in the afternoon. In the evening we went to the local animation a couple of times, the dancing is cool on stage, the team is professional. Evening karaoke, I do not advise, our chanson sing and Allegrova.
The first days of our stay, we studied which bars we can visit for free, we barely figured it out. Eat only in our restaurant, and bars with the inscription ALL INCLUSIVE.

My husband and I were in Egypt for the first time, but already on the first evening we took a minibus to the Old Market. We took a closer look, bought fruit, watched a show of street artists with a fakir and dances with twisted skirts.
We took two excursions from our guides, because you can’t take them anywhere else, only if you go to the city, and this is already a hemorrhoid. On the island of Tiran with diving, I liked it, but they didn’t see anything new that they wouldn’t have on the Domino reef. It's beautiful, just that the water is so bright turquoise around and everything in general. And when we went to Ras Mohamed, also with a dive, we generally regretted both the time spent and the money. If you go there by water like we do, you will not see anything, except for three stops in the sea for diving. And if by bus, then a crevice and mangroves. The guide did not explain this to us at the meeting and we were somewhat disappointed with the tour. In addition, we drove 2 hours in one direction, we were sick, while diving, the vessels in the eye burst from the unusual pressure under water, and a group of experienced divers were expected for an hour or an hour and a half, hanging out in pitching. And those who took the excursion without diving did not understand what the essence of the excursion was, nothing was said about the reserve itself at all.
The room itself was spacious, there was even a chair-bed for an extra bed. Balcony with wicker furniture. Shower gel, poor quality shampoo, fussy with your own. There is a hair dryer. There is no dryer for swimsuits at all and there is nothing to tie the rope to. All the staff were very polite and tried to speak Russian. And we learned a couple of phrases in Egyptian.
We swam and snorted, which rocked on the waves in the bed and the fish seemed to be in our eyes.
At the end of October, the winds have already begun, and in the evening a jacket is sometimes needed. The sea was also not steamy, maybe 24-25
Let's go to Domina and take the children.
