Who knows: how much tours are offered by tour operators at the hotel: Israel 1 day, Mega sun safari, Ras Mohammed on a yacht, Tiran Island? What is the risk of buying tickets in street agencies (there are no air conditioners in buses, insurance)? On which excursion you can see the maximum diversity of the underwater world of the Red Sea? What other excursions are interesting for a family with 2 teenage children? Looking forward to your advice/answers. Thanks.

Hello. I often vacation in Egypt. Usually I used purely the services of hotel agencies .. but that year I hung on the net .. and risked turning to a street agency. After reading a bunch of reviews ... I contacted one agency back here in my homeland. As a result, we we went with them to Israel for 70 dollars, from our hotel it is 180 dollars. Interestingly, there were people on the bus from all hotels who bought through the hotel and for 180,120,90. Russian-speaking guide!!! Everything was at the highest level! We also went on other excursions from them! Prices vary significantly ... two .. three times cheaper !!! We went FROM Sinai Voyage. if you're interested, go check it out

Hello! I have been resting in Egypt 5-6 times a year for many years, I don’t pretend to be an expert, but I know a lot and not from someone else’s words, but from my own experience. per person, I knew that you can take half the price in street agencies, but I didn’t feel like going to the city, looking and taking risks. Then we talked at the hotel with people who traveled from street agencies and realized that in fact there is no difference, if only in price! After that, I went on an excursion to Israel 5 more times, but not from the tour operator, everything is wonderful and practically does not differ in anything. I went on excursions to almost everyone, with the exception of the pyramids, Luxor and Petra, I didn’t get my hands on it before ..., by trial and error I found places (in the sense of an agency) where everything is in order with promises and reality, I have been using it lately services of a Russian woman who lives there and works in this area - I call her, I say what I need, she arrives at the hotel, I pay and no other movements need to be done! I can give you a contact, talk to her and discuss everything.

With regards to risks, all excursions to Israel take place in comfortable air-conditioned buses, you travel to the border with Israel in an Egyptian bus, after the border crossing, get on an Israeli bus and back in reverse order. Crossing the Israeli border is a rather tedious and lengthy procedure (it can take two or four hours), do not listen to those who claim that trips through street agencies to Israel are not insured - this is either from ignorance of the issue, or anti-advertising on the part of tour operators !!! I do not want to delve into the essence of the issue, I will only say a simple thing. .. - Directly those tour operators through which you arrive on vacation in Egypt in Israel do not take excursions, two tour operators organize and provide excursion services to Israel (or three, I don’t remember exactly), your tour operators act in this particular case simply as travel agents (if you you understand the difference - they just sell other people's services, having their own agency percentage for it !!! - well, this is approximately how it looks without going into details), imagine that an organized group of tourists entered Israel without insurance. . . . ))))-you probably just don't know what the state of Israel is. . . . ;)))

Thank you very much for your response and detailed answers/recommendations, kitten11 and kvi2007! Everything is very clear and quite accessible.
kvi2007, can I contact a Russian representative of a street travel agency?
We, to our shame and ignorance, do not even know what Egypt is, let alone Israel: we would return home alive)).

With regards to excursions that you can visit in ShaShe ... - there is no friend for the taste and color ...;))) ... if you go in the summer ... - you need to understand that even though there is an absolutely dry climate, but there very hot!!! The other day there were almost 50 in Shash .....;))), if you are going in the summer, I would not recommend you excursions on a yacht in any format - this is almost a whole day and you can imagine that you are at sea all day sun ... if you take Ras Mohammed, you'd better choose the bus, which is air-conditioned! ..., you will also swim in the sea and see the beauty of the reserve. You can look at the Colored Canyon, but if you go in autumn or spring, it’s interesting, but nothing insanely beautiful, and in summer it’s very, very hot on this excursion !!! Tyrant Island on a yacht - you can choose, interesting, but if in the summer ... - I would not advise !!! Try a bathyscaphe, but not a boat with a transparent bottom - the boat has its drawbacks if it is slightly stormy .. - sit, look at the reef through the transparent walls of the bathyscaphe, divers swim, the reef is beautiful, the fish are dark ... - I recommend it in a relative measure. Only if will be on this tour, do not buy a video from the tour, it will disappoint ..., better shoot your own! ...)))

about the safari ...-I warn you right away, if you imagine it as a ride as you want in the Sinai desert, this is absolutely not so !!! The safari goes in an organized column, along certain routes, going into the wild sand is fraught with bogging down a buggy, or an ATV-sand there in the Sinai mountains is treacherous .... !!!, and turns of all kinds are fraught with serious injuries - I saw it myself, and turned over myself !. ..(((There is an excursion on horseback - if you are not in the subject - I do not recommend it right away !!!!!! ...., although I have a good riding experience - in April the horse stumbled - they are skittish there ... , and fell on my leg ..... - thank God it’s not a fracture !!! - but so far the consequences are taking place ....

I’ll write you a contact in the evening, you can chat with her on Skype, you can write or call on Odnoklassniki. I do not think that booking excursions in advance will be convenient for you - there is not much point! Talk to Natasha and it will be clearer to you what is the best thing to do and where it is better for you to go during your vacation, at the same time she will give you the latest prices. And I in no way promote this contact, I just say that I use this contact and have no complaints !!! And in addition to everything, she will come to your hotel herself, and you will not need to go anywhere, search, spend money on minibuses, or taxis! With regards to communication in Egypt, I come, I buy a local card, which is sharpened for calls to Russia and Ukraine, and of course you can call the area! You can call local mobiles from your room on the phone, but this is for an additional call!

I also think that you will stay alive))), but I wouldn’t dare to go in SUCH heat, we were in early April and it was already very hot, maybe, of course, you like the heat. We also used the services of Genes and Cheburashka, everything was OK, they drive up to the hotel themselves and call themselves, and you can also use the contacts of our members of the forum -orbittours and Irina_Sharm, they also organize excursions: http://www.turpravda.com/forum/topic.php?id=27747&page=86# editor. Write to them and they will tell you everything. Definitely don’t take it from the guides, almost 2 times more expensive.

Orbit Tour at very reasonable prices offers a novelty Mega san safari, which includes quad biking, bananas, surfing, visiting the Bedouin village http://orbittours.ru/ekskursii/ekskursii-v-sharm-el-sheyh/mega-safari-inka /
Nobody took such a tour?
What in Egyptian hotels you can eat without poisoning, what drinks for children and adults / desserts are popular? What vegetables / fruits?
We are from the North, from the White Sea: we do not like the heat at all, but we want to go to Egypt for the sake of the Red Sea and Israel. The media is very frightened by the alarming information about political riots in both countries, the reviews of tourists about the service, the attitude to the Russians are also not happy, but tuned in to this period (the family is not so easy to get together).
Vacationed in Turkey a few years ago at about the same time: there was abnormal heat (tourists, Russians, greedy for rest, as usual, taken away from the pools with heat stroke, locals did not leave the premises at all).
We are trying to be positive, taking into account all the disadvantages - thank you for helping us in this, Slavic compatriots from native Ukraine and Belarus

Sinai Voyage = this is Gena and Cheburashka)) We contacted them back at home. Upon arrival, we called them on their mobile at the hotel reception .. you can call any Egyptian number from the hotel for free))) We arranged a meeting with them, they came for us to the hotel and we went directly to them. They chose all the excursions we were interested in. We left the hall .. a small amount .. and that’s it. the reception itself.

oliv-07, Since a substantive conversation about Egypt has come up. . . , and I understand that you will go in the summer. . . . -Be sure to take sun protection creams with maximum protection!!!, the sun in Sharm at this time of the year is evil and even very much!!!. . . . considering your accommodation on the shores of the White Sea, do not try to sunbathe as much as possible !!!. . . , although I grew up in the southern regions of our country and I am acceptable to the hot sun, I sunbathe under beach umbrellas. . . !!!-you can spoil your holiday with excessive tanning!!! Regarding drinks and food. . . . -do not drink chemistry, it is also chemistry in Africa. . . ;))), all drinks in hotels that are not coca, pepsi, sprite-chemistry, in our opinion, yuppies. . . ))), do not drink drinks with ice - ice is usually not from drinking water !!!, always say dont ice cola, pepsi, sprite !!! Don't taste the salads from the buffet - unless they are pure vegetables!!! For the rest, with regards to food, be guided by your taste and visual impression, they don’t feed poison in Egypt, but it all depends on the hotel, I don’t know your hotel. . . , there are many good hotels in Nabq Bay, which have no complaints, I don’t know about your hotel. . . (((, in this bay for me the most acceptable hotel Sea Club. . .. , I've been there in others, it's worthy, but it has its drawbacks. . .

And if you are going in the summer... try to choose rooms closer to the beach! , and then at sunset after 16-00 move out to the beach! Swimming on the reef is better, but not just better, but always with fins !!! - there is a very strong current in Nabq, you can swim in the wrong place without fins .....))), and don’t touch the corals - they are very beautiful, but in they can be poisonous to the same extent !!! - if you accidentally thrashed about them, immediately try to anoint these places with iodine !!!

What a good fellow kvi2007, he wrote everything correctly, not only corals are poisonous, but some fish too))), but I wouldn’t choose hotels in Nabq, there’s really a strong current, and you can’t swim in the sea, rescuers won’t let you in. It’s good in Egypt from October to March, relax there at this time, and sit in an air-conditioned room and languish in the heat, well, what a vacation it is. The Red Sea is, of course, worth seeing, it beckons and captures me endlessly. I would now choose another beach resort, and went to Egypt later. Of course, you decide)))

Fish, any, well, you shouldn’t try to touch them, even though they are beautiful !!!, these are not cool domestic dogs that you can pat on the withers and stroke;))) .... - just look at this beauty! I agree with Pusya66, and I forgot to write about this nuance ... (((, after sunset, you shouldn’t go into the sea at all !!! - dangerous predators go hunting !!! ..., and, by the way, into the pools after sunset don’t try to immerse yourself in the sun either - they are severely treated with bleach until the morning !!!! ...., and I agree with the previous colleague, the forum member, it’s hot, very hot in the summer in Yegi ... (((, if possible, don’t choose summer for your vacation - this is not Crimea for you, and not the Caucasus, this is Africa !!!...))), I sometimes go there in the summer, but with all my love for the hot climate, and dislike for the cold .... - it is very hot there in summer .... and this sea is worth seeing if you have no other opportunity, even in summer !!!!...

We booked a room at Regency Plaza 5 * from July 8 to July 18 six months ago (on the recommendation of the manager of the Arkhangelsk travel agency in accordance with our desires: a large green area, beautiful sea, active recreation, good animation), tour operator Pegasus - so we will be in Egypt exactly in this, not the most successful for vacationers, period. Set up / pay.
kvi2007 , Pusya66, natalini2007, thank you very much for all the hints/advice/stories/warnings!
I remembered the lines from the work of K. I. Chukovsky "Barmaley":
Africa is terrible
Yes Yes Yes!
Africa is dangerous
Yes Yes Yes!
Don't go to Africa
Children never!
But daddy and mommy fell asleep in the evening,
And Tanechka and Vanechka - run to Africa -
To Africa!
To Africa!
Walking along Africa.
Figs-dates are plucked, -
Well, Africa!
This is Africa!"
We will definitely take into account / remember everything (we read aloud with the whole family!), Taking into account your experience, we will try to have a good rest.
THANK YOU heartily!!!

I'll start simple! If you plan to pay some attention to alcohol during your vacation ...;))), take them with you - for one person a liter of strong alcohol - the customs will not cause any questions (take with you the alcohol that you have checked according to the White Sea area and does not cause complaints ;)))...), in duty free you can get yourself decent drinks without restrictions, based on your needs and tastes. I’ll say right away, as an experienced tourist and with certain taste preferences, I take a snack with me to rest, a little bacon right ...))), dry sausages, cucumbers, tomatoes and mushrooms ...))), the meaning of the snack is what if in the evening you want to drink, have a bite (well, let's say vodka in the right way ...) in a room on a balcony-veranda, or the company is organized correctly and positively - there is a drink, but there is nothing to eat !!! - from my Ukrainian point of view, the approach to drinking alcohol absolutely wrong without a decent snack!!!...;)))
