When winter comes, you really want warmth and sun. And so we wanted it again. The question was, which country to fly to, so that it would be both warm and sunny, and as many entertainments and excursions as possible. The choice fell on Egypt. Well, I really wanted to see the ancient pyramids. It's decided. The suitcases are packed.
Let's fly. Well, then on the points.
1. Departed from Minsk. Belavia Airlines is on schedule. 4 hours 20 minutes of an untiring flight and now we are happy to go down the ladder of the plane, inhaling the fragrant air of Egypt. Passport control, baggage claim and Tez tour meeting were also flawless.

2. We arrived at the hotel around 10.30. A certain amount at the reception and after 30 minutes we were drinking coffee on the balcony of our own room. As requested for a good room on the 2nd floor, so we got it. The room has 2 huge beds, a toilet, a bathroom, trouble, shower gels and liquid soap. As well as 2 bottles of water daily, tea and coffee set. Bathrobe and slippers. The linen in our room was changed daily.
3. The territory of the hotel is large, there is where to roam. Excellent pools, slides are beyond praise, only the cunning Arabs turn them on in turn and then for a certain time. And the pool with an artificial wave and even less often for a few minutes.
4. Food is the weakest side of the hotel. As they wrote earlier, “you won’t stay hungry, ” this is true, but this does not mean that the choice is simply huge. Although if we compare the first day in this hotel with the last days, then the choice is significant. Apparently in nutrition there is a difference between 4 stars and 5. They didn’t go hungry, but they didn’t bring extra pounds home.
5. Excursions. Yes, we were unlucky, we did not get on one. Although they went only to Egypt in order to see the pyramids, and see as much as possible around the country. Therefore, they chose 4 and the second line, because. Initially, they were only going to spend the night in a hotel. But it turned out that they simply did not leave the hotel. Although, nevertheless, we went to Naama 2 times, saw Soho and looked at the Old Town, which I will not forget for at least the next few years. Because in the Old City we had to run. The people can, who was there on January 29, tell us what happened there, what kind of smoke was it? Why are the locals running away? That literally in five minutes there was not a single taxi and not a single person left. After this incident, I didn’t leave the hotel for 3 days for sure, I didn’t even go to the sea.
6. In general, the hotel is very good. Quiet, calm and comfortable.
