So, we rested at the hotel at the end of May by a group of 4 women accountants-economists. The company, in my opinion, was motley, someone is an avid shopaholic (I) and a day without shopping is spent in vain (advice for shopaholics below), someone went to a photo shoot, someone loves olynkluziv food and dreams of beauty, interrupted by depression from cruel reality, inadvertently gained kilograms and annual reporting, and someone prefers local exotics. Such diverse tastes of the “group” found their realization by the end of the trip and, in general, everything would be fine, and the hotel staff is polite, attentive and tries to speak Russian, and the animators did not pester too much, and sometimes it was even interesting to listen to the evening show program, and we ate crabs for lunch, if not for one but... (and this is not the unfortunate lack of Internet, only 1 hour for the whole holiday)
. . . once, from the incredible heat, I felt so bad that my blood pressure dropped sharply, circles swam before my eyes and I felt that I was fainting, I turned to the reception, they politely explained that there was no doctor on site, although there were 4 1pm and it will cost $35 to call him, and our travel insurance doesn't seem to cover that.
I was saved by the medicines that I took with me from pressure, but there were no medicines in the hotel pharmacy, only shampoos and mosquito repellents !!!!

Dear tourists going to an Egyptian fairy tale, lie under a palm tree and stare at the Egyptian pyramids, please stock up on our proven, relatively inexpensive medicines and mosquito repellents, consult what cases your travel insurance covers, and at the airport buy a local Orange card, bypass killer sea urchins, swim in coral slippers, and your long-awaited well-deserved rest will definitely not be overshadowed by anything!!!
Tips for shopaholics: green aloe vera ointment for an even tan - from $ 2, freshly squeezed mango juice - from $ 1 (glass), huge dates - $ 1 pack, scarves-stoles for gifts - from $ 5, dresses - from $ 10, men's T-shirts - from 3 dollars, leather wallets - from 10 dollars, aphrodisiac oil maa althahab - 1 gram - 1 dollar, original silver jewelry. Yes, prices have dropped drastically.
All this and much more can be found right in the shops of the hotel, five minutes from the hotel on il mercato, as well as on the old market and soho, where you need to go by taxi, which are waiting for you right at the hotel gate. How much can you buy with just $35 saved! a sightseeing tour of the city costs the same, with a seafood dinner, an overview of all local attractions, and most importantly, with a stop at 3 large markets!
