Hello everyone. Soon to fly to this hotel and had a few questions.
1. How much does the Internet cost in the hotel, and is there somewhere cheaper?
2. Is it possible to bring fruits from Egypt (mangoes, strawberries, melons, etc.), and how. Will they be allowed on the plane with them? Approximate prices?
3. Should I buy a snorkel and mask at home, or should I buy a tap?
4. Where is it better to change money and is it worth it. Or is it better to pay with dollars? Is there an ATM somewhere nearby to use the card?
5. Are there Russian news channels on TV?
6. Are there many people in the hotel now, is it possible to get a higher class room for money?
P.S. I found answers to all questions, but 2-3 years ago. Therefore, I decided to ask.

Yes, I also wanted to ask.
Is there any kind of fishing in the sea? Well, in the form of an excursion, only with a fishing rod or spinning rod, and not just a walk on a yacht?
Is it possible to fly on a parachute behind a boat, how much does it cost?
Should I buy a disposable camera for underwater shooting, and how much does it cost?

I THINK IT IS BETTER TO BUY A MASK WITH A PIPE AT HOME IN SPECIALIZED STORES.
NOT ALWAYS A CHEAP OPTION WILL JUSTIFY ITSELF.

As for the camera, you can buy a simple reusable one, it will do for the first time. But there should be the highest film sensitivity.
I had the very first one - about 15 dollars, I got a lot of positive emotions in the pursuit of fish. Photos of different quality were not bad.

there is a shop here selling diving equipment of the Japanese company TUSA. Very decent silicone masks, in Russia the same brand is more expensive, but for this you have to go to Naama Bay.

I HAVE TO SAY THAT A GOOD mask costs from $50.
In Naama, there is a cool store for all these accessories, there is even one of the first spacesuits (you can’t say otherwise) for diving.
I don’t know how it is now, but a mask was once sold there for about 3000 (!!!) dollars.

They brought a mask with a tube with them, so as not to bathe from the first day. The underwater world is great. Money (dol) ATM in the lobby of the hotel. Or on site in the shops. Find souvenirs + hookahs. His name is Shirif, the young one speaks Russian, he will help. The course in the bank is 1dol-6.18 of their pounds. ) do not change by 6. They accept any balluta (rubles, hryvnia ...) We took pictures on the phone. We have a good camera there. There is enough food, the fruits were quietly brought back in the bag. The Internet is paid there (in all hotels) 6 dollars half an hour Wi-Fi / We went to Sokha there for free at the fountains. The weather is super, the sea is warm. You will not regret it. The hotel is beautiful, the beach is nearby. The pool did not swim near the warm sea. Ask for numbers 1011, 1012 (we were in it) 1014 View of the children's pool. 1003-09 The food is good. I took our cognac with me (because I love it) Cigarettes can be a block per person. not particularly checked. Have a nice holiday!!!

But I forgot! Card payments are accepted, 3 Russian channels on TV. Buy souvenirs in the old town (30 km by taxi we went for 13 dollars round trip and waited for us for 3 hours there) You can pay for dollars. Change smaller banknotes here. Trade everywhere. I bought leather. a bag (from 120 dollars for 30-40) cool large towels for 7-9 dollars. Magnets 5 for 1 dollar.

item 2 - mangoes were bought for $4-5 per kg ($2 - pieces), strawberries - $1 - everything was carried in hand luggage
item 3 - there a mask with a snorkel costs $ 10 - it’s quite enough to wallow on the waves - if we talk about professional equipment, then of course it’s better to take care of it in advance
p. 4 - where they have already written to change, but is it worth it. ! - some sellers even called the amount in pounds more than in dollars - why remained a mystery to us; about withdrawing cash from the card - I do not recommend it, because. faced with the fact that, it seems, they should not take a commission (or one amount is indicated) - and upon arrival at home, they issue a completely different bill - of course, not at a loss to the bank!

We had paid Wi-Fi in the hotel and only in the reception area. So we were unlucky ... We took it only once at the hotel for money, and then walked to Soho on foot for about 15 minutes along the hotels. It catches in a large radius. If there are a lot of people, the speed is weak. But we had enough to communicate with the house.

I’ll answer point 6: Where is the people. Our Tiran Island hotel occupancy was 70 percent. This is normal for February. Hotel 2 line, but almost like the first compared to others. The pontoon (entrance to the sea) is short, this is important. The beach is cool compared to others. People were brought to us on yachts for money to swim with masks around us. And the price is acceptable. We are 2 with a flight (standard room, all inclusive) paid 850 dollars. And I also advise if you go to Jerusalem, do not take an Egyptian visa for 15 S at the airport (only for Cairo, Luxor) Feel free to take a ticket from the Arabs. We took on the beach 2 times cheaper. The bus is cool, escort, Russian-speaking guide.Insurance, fed once on a buffet trip.

In reality, you take a card upon arrival from a meeting tour operator, it is not difficult to fill in, there will be many tourists nearby, who will help you more than once. Below, write SINAI ONLY and go to passport control without listening to anyone.

so the fact of the matter is, it seems like representatives of the tour operator are not allowed in and they don’t give a card until you buy a visa.

and you calmly take the card anyway, fill it out and past the purchase of a visa for passport control. no one will "catch" you there with a demand to buy a visa, since only the representatives of the operator at the airport demand to buy a visa (politely tell them to offer services, thank you, we can handle it ourselves and do what you need)

The visa costs not 17, but 15$!!! And representatives of travel agencies themselves are trying to paste it, do not be fooled and tell them to give an immigration card, you can see how to fill it out in advance and even print it from the Internet. As for fruit, I recently carried 9 mangoes + 2 kg. strawberries + 2 kg dates, put all this in a small bag and in hand luggage. For the rest of the questions have already been answered, just write in a personal!

and the travel agency told me that it was $ 17. I'm just afraid that the representatives will not give a card without a visa. And they (representatives) are generally Arabs or ours?

chudakov1, don’t worry like that. You won’t be left without a card, they give it to everyone. And they give it before buying a visa. A visa costs $ 15. People stand in line at the window where they buy a visa. they offer for 17, they will paste and fill it themselves. Although it is easier to fill it out. People, tourists will tell you and help you. Take a pen with you, do not forget. Write as you were told below SINAI ONLY, and go to the border control. In the window where sell visas, you don’t need to stand then. By the way, there is always a queue at the border control.

In the card, fill in a couple of lines of full name, passport number, the name of the hotel where you eat and when you arrived and left. Write off everything in English letters from your passport. For 15 dollars. you need if you go to Cairo, Luxor on a tour. We traveled to Israel through the Arabs, a visa is not needed. Wasted $34. We didn't go to Cairo.

I repeat, a visa is needed only for Cairo, Luxor and Ras Muhammad by bus, if you do not plan to go on these excursions, do not buy a visa for $ 15!
