Where is the best place to buy?
Gentlemen, tell me, is it better to take fins-snorkel-mask-coral slippers with you or still buy them already in Egypt. Very interested in quality and prices. Also, what about tips? In Turkey, you give only when you think it is necessary, but here I read that you need to give to everyone. Tell me if this is so and how much to give. Thanks to. Alyona

allenkka, fins, snorkels and all that stuff is better to buy there, but not on the beach it’s expensive, but in a shop, there are a lot of specialty shops and prices are lower than ours, the quality is good. we were all treated normally, other times they were handed out to everyone. They give from 1 to 5 pounds. When they took a room at the reception, they did not skimp for 10 dollars, they asked for a good view, but for 100 they took a two-room suite when they went with children. But even without Chevyh, they can give a good, the main thing is to be friendly.

We took fins, a snorkel and a mask with us and did not regret it.
And they also brought many vacationers with them, but there were those who bought there, but in this hotel on the beach they also gave masks and flippers for free (it is clear that their number was limited)
It is better to buy slippers there, but not in hotel shops, but in bazaars or supermarkets
Regarding the price, you have to bargain
But with a tip, we only gave cleaners (2-3 pounds each) and that's because the hotel is completely new, it is only one year old, then the Arabs there are not yet "spoiled" :)))
By the way, we changed money at the hotel at the reception there is the best exchange rate, and we took small dollars with us
аватар Ampir
The free ones are really bad. they leak, better than their own. Our friends bought flippers and everything else here, and in a good sports store, but they didn’t swim in them, they bought them cheaper and they are better professional there, and we have beautiful consumer goods and are also expensive. You just need to take a look so that the tube is soft, there is a mask with a valve. that on duty to swim, etc. Unfortunately, our sellers do not know these subtleties, but they tell you what is what for.
аватар vitawka
Yes, I agree that they say that the sellers are much friendly and it’s even nice to communicate with them, not only with ours))))
But we had good snorkels and fins, so we swam for quite some time.
аватар Ampir
You are lucky :))) My husband bought a mask with a snorkel there for 60 dollars, although not cheap, but then it turned out that this is Italian professional diving equipment. Unas here is the same in a professional store 150 dollars. He just doesn’t feel it, we’ll go in September and buy the same one for ourselves. We are just fans of the sea, we swim a lot on duty, so we take this issue seriously.
аватар vitawka
The fact that the sea and the fish there is really cool and everything is just impressive
аватар allenkka
Thank you so much! What about the safe? Is he at the reception or in the room? And how big? Will a video camera (not a soap box) fit?
аватар Ampir
The safe in the room is large, a video camera will fit and not only. 3 days in a row they forgot to close the cleaner apparently thought that we want him to clean up. so he put the bills in order, folded them, twisted the chain with a snake, and so on. He brought beauty in the safe and didn’t take anything :))) he was left a tip for 1 dollar though ..
аватар vitawka
We had such a situation with the safe, it didn’t open before leaving home, we were so scared because there were passports and tickets
but everything was decided, they ran to the reception and told what happened then the worker came with one movement of the hand the safe opened))))
аватар allenkka
How about the a la carte restaurants? Should I reserve on arrival, or later, the day before the visit? Was it included in the ticket price? And in general, is it worth it? Tasty? I read there is fish and Italian there? Cool?
аватар allenkka
Hmmm, adventuring with a safe is always fun. Oh, vitawka, and what is the rate of pounds to the dollar (euro)? We are trying to calculate the cost of excursions here :)
аватар vitawka
Yes, the cost of the tour includes a one-time visit to a fish and Italian restaurant, we reserved a restaurant a few days in advance
we liked)
аватар Ampir
1$=5wrappers
аватар vitawka
We exchanged dollars for pounds at a ratio of 1 dollar = 5.5 pounds
(by the way, this was changed at the reception)
аватар allenkka
And tell me more about the excursions, pliz. We want the pyramids, Ras Mohammed, the monastery of St. Catherine, that transparent thing that sinks to the bottom and quad bikes. What should not be taken? And how much does it cost? Nevertheless: it is better to take from the tour operator or there, on the spot, agree on excursions.
аватар vitawka
There, upon arrival, a representative of the travel agency gives a printout of all excursions and prices
My husband and I decided not to go anywhere because he was a little burned, and so everyone who went was very pleased with the monastery of St. Catherine.

We rode ATVs, we liked it very much, but we bought the tour on the beach in the old town. Twice cheaper, but everything is clear. They took not a group tour, but an individual one. Group - this is a person of 25-30 driving through the desert 20 km h one after another in a row you can’t overtake, you can go first, and the rest swallow sand and dust of the first. individual is 10 dollars more expensive, but we are traveling 3-6 people. we traveled with our group. you set the speed yourself, we walked 60 kmh at the limit of possibility, cool. beautiful canyons, sunset.
аватар Ampir
be sure to float in the sea, they also took it on the beach. I liked traveling with divers more, there were few people on the yacht, they went about their business, dived in different beautiful places, and for $ 15 we swam there with masks and snorkels with feeding calmly.

Friends went to Israel and they liked it. We didn't venture with the kids on the bus at night. I'm afraid they drive crazy drivers, then I'll retire :)) I also think about Cairo. Acquaintances traveled to Cairo very hard, they go to Cairo early in the morning, they are not tired, they say it is necessary by plane, if only.
аватар Ampir
With a glass bottom, you won’t be interested if you are wearing a mask, this is for those who don’t know how to look with a mask and for children, in general, a big boat, a strip of thick glass at the bottom, the fish are the same everywhere, but through thick glass there is no colorfulness, as with a mask . I do not advise.

We found the best prices for all equipment in Dahab. There are shops with fixed prices in Sharm on NAama Bay. Of course, it’s better to buy a professional mask. it takes extra time. As for the fins - there are several types of them, you can put them on bare feet, but there are some that are worn only on special shoes. I can advise you to buy a camera for underwater photography there, but not a disposable one. 20. As for tips_ - that’s how your heart tells you. But they live there from a tip. If you like the service, why not thank you? relatively healthy. Dollars in the store are considered as 5, in the bank the exchange is 5.5-5.6
As for excursions - if you want Cairo, I would fly by plane, the road is very difficult for me, but I wouldn’t go to a boat with a transparent bottom at all. Tour operators are getting more and more expensive.
Have a good rest!
аватар allenkka
And tell me the prices, pliz, on excursions. On the Internet, they are about the same. I would like to know about those that are in place. We all count and count and can't count :)
аватар Ampir
It’s hard to remember the prices now, the sea excursion is $ 25 on ATVs, I don’t remember about the rest.
аватар den_sonya
Don’t rent them, they leak, and the slippers are disposable, we broke on the 3rd day. Tipping is up to you, it happened that they left it and the room was cleaned by 50%.

don't carry too much weight with you.
Buy at local shops, haggle
and get the goods cheaper than if you bought at home
