I go to the Red Sea only with Pegasus.
flight on a non-old airbus from Wind Rose. The charter is filled by 3-4 tour operators.
Meals on board are meager (a year ago it was more fun) - a Soviet bagel inside with a lettuce leaf, a little ham and cheese, juices and water - as usual.
Who forgot to eat before the flight or for a snack (our case) take a home brake.
In Sharm, on the take-off, our board was the only one at 8 in the morning, they didn’t give out immigrant women on the flight (we gave it out a year ago), respectively, on
some inexperienced tourists made money on questionnaires.
I took a Pegasus at the counter for our patchport questionnaires, quickly entered Sinay Only (everyone should have a pen in their hand luggage) and a joyful border guard puts a Sinai stamp on me
page completely filled with Egyptian stamps and seals. A good sign - I have one blank page in stock.
We get the suitcases and happily roll them out past the bored customs to the bus to the hotel.
My fellow traveler Valera has his own SIM card Vodafone-egi with i-net.
For those who want to have their own i-no - at the exit at the airport there are points of Vodafone and Mobile - something 9-10 dollars - a sim card + a month of i-net.
At the Hilton at 10 am, half the bus leaves, about 15 tourists. There is a slight stir at the counter, patchports are being made, ladies are wearing bracelets on their hands, Valera was given two not even cut,
it suits us so well, we ourselves fasten them wider and put them in our pocket.
During the week of using the boarding house, I never put it on (I carried it in my pocket to the dining room) and there were no questions.
Valera was asked once in the dining room at the entrance - he called the room number and that's it.
Swimming trunks, masks, tubes in hand luggage, we change clothes in the toilet (far left corner of the hall from the entrance). Suitcases in the lobby
the administrator will give a room with 2 beds at 12. We run with Valera to greet the Red Sea. A splash from the pier, water 24, air 28, no clouds, super.
At 12 we get an envelope with hotel cards and on a golf cart we are delivered to building 7 - room 705 - 1st floor. For tourists with limited opportunities - a peephole at the level of the belt and so on.
we check everything - it suits us. The balcony door lock works - this is important.
On the downside - the sink siphon was half clogged, but it didn't bother me much. Hairdryer must be requested from the cleaner separately - two cuts on the hydriks
it was necessary to glue (glue without a hair dryer does not freeze correctly).
About alcohol in a boarding house - everything is ordinary - made in egi, not diluted, but not "only everyone" knows,
that all brown drinks (see the label) - 30 degrees (and it seems that it is diluted), and
40 - only transparent drinks (instead of gin and instead of vodka Volga). You can drink Volga with an aftertaste of acetone, after 100 gr. the aftertaste is no longer felt.
Nutrition.
Breakfast from 6.30. From 6.45 we were already at sea, we appeared in the dining room at 9 in the morning and only on the 4th day did we find out that you can catch raisins with oatmeal,
and yogurt is not only in a bowl, but also packaged. By 8 o'clock in the morning you won't find it anymore. Cheeses in the morning 3 types - feta, firmer and triangles in foil until 8 am.
From the unusual - every morning - half rings of smoked mackerel.
Lunch from 12.30. everything is as usual.
Fruit - everything is chopped - guava is not always, orange, melon is not always, tangerine is not always sour and sweet, apple and dates are not always, bananas in milk.
Bars by the pool and above the beach. Plus- Natural juice packaged guava juice and chips - but you won't always find it - either you haven't brought it up yet or it's gone.
After dinner at the bars - ice cream in small packs was always and fries with a roll in a bar above the beach.
Dinner from 18.30. everything is normal, no frills, a couple of times squid in fries, there was no tuna for 7 evenings, beef is always in a different form.
Lots of steamed and fried vegetables.
Evening action - all "by ourselves" - conversations at the bar, karaoke are put on by animators and we have fun, there were no dances, and who wants to visit Arab
discos - then do not be discouraged.
This is the animator's income - to pull you out to the Arab disco, the locals crowd there to look at the white ladies and ....
About stealing in the rooms - "It's an eggy baby. " Neighbors from Kyiv lightened each fifty dollars of greenery, and they pulled one of the things, and the other from the safe
- but not the whole amount of greens.
Do not take green cash and gold jewelry here - or always carry everything with you.
There are safes in eggie that open with a blow to the right corner - see youtube. The 705 has a better safe. The suitcase in the room must be locked
- the iron rule in eggie - written in empty wallets of tourists.
After the first cleaning, a couple of small towels left - the cleaner did not leave new ones.
From the second day he persuaded Valera to hang him on the door before departure - do not disturb. All the same, the cleaner was rummaging around, touching things - there were traces.
Towels were changed in the hallway.
Next time I will buy a stand-alone micro-registrar and let him write on the curtain,
and then let the boarding house explain - who and why came in at the "do not disturb" sign.
Once in the morning they put a smartphone in registrar mode among glasses and bottles - but he wrote for 3 hours but was discharged. the hunt failed.
On the 4th day in the evening after dinner at 22, our safe (not the easiest one - see the photo) also fell into some kind of emergency mode (when pressed, it turned on the countdown for 30 minutes) -
apparently the cleaner tried to guess the numbers - but he didn’t guess (do not tie your code to the date of birth - they have access to your data from the admin).
They called the service - a fat man quickly came with a flash drive and a miniscanner and opened it in 5 minutes.
About wifi. Hilton gives 2 giga neta for one device, (I didn’t even eat half) entry without a password through the free trial button. Works steadily in the lobby of a boarding house who has a strong module in the device. Not all smartphones steadily took a signal. The main antenna is in the hall 2 lines
(conference room) across the road. On my netbook asus 101 wi-fi module
either weakened, or from birth like this - I went there after breakfast (in the morning the speed is higher) to work for an hour a day - there is silence and deserted.
There is Skype, but it is cut off - martial law - so we put everything before the Viber trip. VK works without restrictions.
Plus, Valera in the evening in the room from his smartphone, Vodafone and no, he handed it out to me.
But this is all poetry - and the underwater world, air, sun and fruits outweigh all these minor chores.
About swims. at 6.30 we left the Hilton together in wetsuits and flip flops. From the exit to the right on foot 15 minutes through the wasteland, the green alley Siva, Communication towers,
again a wasteland, the gates of the cottage village of Montazah, past the foundation pits and villas, went down to the embankment, and we are at the Melia pier. Until 8 am on the pier without security, then it's more difficult.
Melia works - there are tourists, Tiran Island - is closed. Slaps on the back under the wetsuit and for an hour we calmly contemplate the wall to the Hilton pontoon.
A special thing from what he saw - Valera swam the second time alone - only a spotted bracken (in simple terms - a slope up to 1m black with a white dot with a dolphin's muzzle)
at the Melia pontoon at 7 am. I met her there 4 years ago at the same time.
Then there was a walk-reconnaissance to the salt lake behind Sensatori (which is only for the Angles and is therefore empty). at 12 noon, a young Arab boy did not let 5 guests from the Hilton swim from the pontoon of Melia.
I made a plan for a swim to the "green" lighthouse of the strait based on the scheme of the Ras Ghamila dive site (see photo - taken on Sensatori beach) and estimates of wind, wave and distance.
