Since we visited Egypt for the first time, there are more positive impressions than negative ones. The first and most important rule - do not spoil your mood - was observed, therefore they tried not to pay attention to the lack of service. Firstly, a hotel for economy. recreation. Therefore, if something is missing in the room - towels, napkins, glasses, toilet paper, or something does not work - immediately contact the reception, they will help you immediately. So, in order.
ROOM. We left 2 dollars for the main settler upon check-in, because the room was more or less clean, and if you also leave money for the maids, it is desirable not a pound, but a dollar, generally glossy. True, towels mysteriously disappeared, but we are not beeches, they went, they said, they brought us. We liked the architectural and pictorial products from house-keeping (swans, hearts, crocodiles, men) (it just annoyed many : -). Bed linen changed daily.
Everything in the room worked properly, only the balcony door jammed, but this breakdown was quickly eliminated for us. The air conditioner worked perfectly, in 10 minutes it heated the room almost to the temperature of the sauna : -). Cooled just as fast. It was possible to sleep with him, that is, he worked quietly. Water for every "taste", from piping hot to icy. By the way, very soft, neutralizes the negative effects of salt water and the sun. I returned with mirrored hair, which is surprised and satisfied. The door to the balcony (there was no balcony, 1st floor, immediately to the pool : -) was almost never closed, none of the things were lost, although they left the money, and the player, and the camera.
BUT! In the last days of your stay, I advise you to hide everything! Precedents most often on the very last day - a player was stolen from the neighbors. Return, of course, failed.
STAFF. Courteous, annoying, if you are a girl from 12 to 40.
To get a towel on the beach or by the pool, I had to listen to compliments for 10-15 minutes, after which my companion came up and dealt more rudely with the hand : -). So, girls, choose a more courageous escort. Almost everyone who understands Russian, speaking less, English helped. Special thanks to the manager of the restaurant-bar, the hookah man Abdullah, as well as Aladdin (Ali Baba), who offers excursions on ATVs and not only. Guide from Karia-tour, Azamat, what he is, what he is not. We were our own guides. On the very first day, they settled in, stocked up, quad bikes, got hooked, etc. Azamat was seen 2 times - at the first information meeting, and before flying back on the bus. Therefore, the greatest respect for the Tez-tour guides, who were observed every day next to the reception in the amount of 2 people. Those who traveled from the Tez-tour are unspeakably satisfied.
WATER TREATMENTS. The hotel pool is not heated.
But if you take a distracting dose of alcohol (by the way, you can safely carry an unlimited amount with you, the main thing is that it fits in your luggage and is securely packed, and then stock up in duty free when you leave, otherwise how much you don’t take is not enough : -) you can swim. When we were vacuumed in the pool, sprinkled with bleach, which is not bad.
The beach is more or less clean, a bag is hung under the tail of camels so as not to pollute the environment. Minibus free of charge every 15-20 minutes, drive 2-3 minutes. The towels don't seem to be washed. Today you lie down on the Machine, tomorrow on Petin. Walk on corals in special slippers (6-7 dollars) so as not to injure your feet. The pontoon is long, the snorkeling is awesome! The water is warm like milk, although it was cloudy on the first day, but it's winter.
PURCHASES. Make purchases in the Old Market (minibus 3-4 pounds, taxi 25-30), in Naama (minibus 2 pounds) a little more expensive. Bargain, dance from 1/5 of the starting price.
Real prices - juice 7 pounds, cigarettes 7.5, soap 1.5, cola-sprite-fanta liter 4, hookah tobacco 1-2 pounds a pack, oranges 4 pounds / kg, strawberries 5 / kg, perfume oils (must buy) 10 dollars. for 50 ml. Hookahs were bought heavy, large, with leather pipes in carpet winding, in a case for $50. We have these are 140-160. From aluminum you can take for 15-20 dollars. Check for correctness and completeness. The pharmacy is 2 times more expensive, take what you need from home. Shops - at the exit of the hotel to the right, 100 meters. There is no alcohol in them at all.
TOURS. Get it from the Old Market. Azamat (guide) scared that the insurance would not work if you did not take diving from him. Fairy tales! It doesn't work anyway. Before arriving on the yacht, you sign papers for which no one is responsible for you. Conclusion - take it where it is cheaper, try not to break your arms and legs. You can have ATVs at the aforementioned Ali Baba Aladdin (curly-haired, he has 5 aliases : -).
$20 for one, $25 for two on one. Cairo 40, diving 40-45, Israel 100, Mount Moses 35. Anyway, those who took, for example, Israel for 100, go by the same bus with the same guide, next to people who go for 220. We entered easier and more profitable - they hired a comfortable 16-seat bus, and with their company, 10 people, sitting comfortably, bawling songs, drinking intoxicants, stopping wherever we wish, reached Cairo, and there was already a regular program. It is more comfortable in the sense that there is no problem of “swan cancer and pike”, after all, 10 people is not 40, and a small bus in terrible Cairo traffic jams is not neoplan.
NUTRITION. We took half board, no regrets. Naturally, for such a price ...I had enough in abundance, I'm a thin girl. The guy was not very good, but we fed him with bacon and mivina (thanks to Sasha and Vika from Terebovlya! ) : -). Minus - drinks are not served in the evening, alcohol is not included. BUT! Egyptian alcohol is not up to par in quality, we were glad that we took it with us.
Friends who have all inclusive complained that it was almost impossible to get lunch on the beach, whiskey is like cologne, there is almost always no beer and it tastes disgusting, often there are no many types of alcohol at all, and only from one in the afternoon on the beach. Packed rations are hard to come by when you travel for the whole day. Sausages and soups are terrible, sausage is tolerable, from fruits - guava, dates, oranges, melon; delicious desserts, cakes, puddings. Cucumbers and tomatoes helped out, as well as rice and eggs, cheese (very tasty), sour cream. Several times for supper there was meat, not badly cooked, fish. Various buns, pita bread. Juice powder, instant coffee, tea bags. Be sure to try the national dish! We asked a friend on the beach to bring from the city: 2 pita breads with different fillings, meat, it seems, and in addition very spicy pickled carrots, cabbage, olives. Burningly delicious!
ENTERTAINMENT. The hotel - no. Pathetic attempts of animators on the last day of our stay.
Even the worst toastmaster at our wedding is flowers compared to this shame. But we had fun, good, it was drunk enough. Massage-peeling masks are expensive and not of very high quality. Perhaps everything.
Remember! Climb on a camel - a dollar, get off - 5! It is forbidden to take pictures in the national museum in Cairo, but if you give $ 2 to an employee, you can! You can fool an Arab, because they come off on us, or rather, not on us, but more on Muscovites, Germans and Americans. We are tough nuts for them, “big tricky ones”. You can smoke hashish, it is inexpensive, you can also bring it home if you are smart! Corals are similar, although there is a penalty for this. But do not be animals, take care of the beauty of the underwater world and the environment in general. And then later on the pyramids you read “Masha Khimki 2005”, “Misha was here”, etc. And it becomes embarrassing.
Bargain with a smile when you are about to leave because of the high cost, the seller himself will run after you and sell at the price that will be acceptable to you. Girls, enjoy the attention of the Arabs, at home our men are not capable of this. Just do not overdo it, otherwise 200 camels, and you are an Egyptian. In a word, Egypt is a country of contrasts, go, you will not regret it. Even if in Horizon Sharm. Greetings to friends from Yulia and Petya from 2009!
