зимние каникулы the winter vacation

Hello to all! ! I went to Egypt a couple of weeks ago and I want to share with all my impressions.
I started choosing a hotel, probably before the new year. climbed all the sites, looked at all the photos, read a bunch of reviews. in the end, I decided to just sit down and understand what I want from the rest. First we went in early February. many told me that it was cold there, and they didn’t promise good weather on the Internet, and when I came to the agency, it turned out that it had just rained there, which Egypt had not seen for 30 years. Well, due to the time of the year, the choice of a resort has become very simple. in sharm el sheikh it is warmer and calmer. The next step was to choose a hotel. and then everything turned out to be simple. I traveled with my brother for 12 years and we are fans of outdoor activities, so a large water park became a must, and our choice was reduced to 2 hotels: Sunrise Tirana and Aqua Blu. the second cost 10 thousand. more expensive, so mom said we're going to sunrise.
when we arrived at the hotel (around 12.40), the guide told us that check-in usually starts at 14.00, and we might have to wait. but considering that at that time we arrived alone (more than 30 people arrived the next day), we were offered to go out for lunch, and upon our return the room was already ready!

We got a room with a view of the building. You can’t call it beauty, but we only changed clothes in the room, lay and slept, so the view didn’t disturb us at all. the room itself is great. lots of lockers, a safe and 2-3 bottles of water a day for free. towels and linen will be changed for you as much as you want, the main thing is to be polite and smile, and the guys will do anything for you.
Next is the food. the food was just wonderful. oh so many things. delicious. spices in moderation. none of us got sick. and what some people write about monotony, so here's what I'll tell them, they cook soup or pasta at home and eat for 3 days, but here every day there are 15 different hot dishes and they lack variety. complete nonsense!!!
now about the weather. in the first 2 days it was very cold, but then the weather flared up... at least +35 was. I sunbathed for 4 days for 3 hours a day + water park, I came to Moscow black! I go and everyone is jealous!!!
beach. the beach is good. When choosing a hotel, I did not like the 2nd line. but already there I felt all the pluses. it's great to walk the morning to the beach. walk at a slow pace for 20 minutes, and at a fast pace 10. warm up, so to speak, and lie down to rest and sunbathe ! ! the sea is amazing, there is a pantone, so it’s very convenient to go in, and it’s cool to wander aground.
Well, the highlight of the hotel is the water park. rolled to a halt. slides are cool, the water in them is hot, the blood boils!!!
and now about the costs. at one time I could not find any advice about how much to take money. 100 dollars for souvenirs is more than enough, and buy for yourself, and for relatives, and for friends. excursions: cairo -100, cairo + alexandria - 160, luxor - 250, jordan -250, diving 1 dive - 50.2 dives - 80, jeep riding, quad bikes + reserves from 25 to 65 dollars, yachts from 35 to 100, night clubs 25-35, sauna - 30, show 1001 and 1 night - 25-35. and about doctors. my brother hurt his finger. we called a doctor under insurance, paid only for the call ($ 2), he was taken to the clinic, everything was processed and medicines were given in addition. Everything is free with insurance! the doctor at the hotel charges from $50, so be careful with that!!
Well, I'm talking about the hotel. I just want to add that the rest turned out great!!! ! a lot of emotions! I think we will be back there!
