Tell me, I heard the myth since a present at the reception in the form of a bottle. good vodka
Tell me, I heard that at the hotel at the reception, instead of money for getting a good room, they gave a present in the form of a bottle of good vodka, "Khortytsya" for example ... Although this is a Muslim country and they don't drink alcohol there ... Who had experience ????? ?

My experience shows that you don’t need to give money at the reception for a good room - you always get an excellent room without any handouts.
As for vodka, they drink it, but not everyone and not everywhere. They tried it with me just out of curiosity. To understand what it is and ask how you can drink it with glasses;)

There are many myths, but most of them are myths. Muslims do not drink, only Copts can drink, (a kind of Orthodoxy) by the way, good vodka, Khortytsya is a myth.

And my experience showed that for free something in the room constantly did not work, or they settled in the wilderness, the Arabs also need to earn money .... I have never heard about vodka, from any of my friends ...

give $ 10 and the parties will be satisfied with this. And in terms of a gift, and even carry it - this is a myth. Better take yourself, and also raw smoked sausage, vobla and pickled cucumbers - you will be drawn to it.

Arabs are people just like us. I mean, everyone is very different. Those who gladly put me in a good room without any additives came across to me on every trip. Moreover, on this trip I found Arabs who refused to take baksheesh.
My comrades paid 10 bucks - and their number was worse than ours.
Religiosity depends on the family in which a person grew up. I have met Arabs who drink both rum and beer, vodka.
But miki08 is right - they don't drink for the most part, drinkers are an exception, and therefore a bottle of vodka may turn out to be a useless gift.

And be sure to shmatochek fat, on the fourth day will go with a cucumber and vodka with a bang.

before giving - you need to check the "bed". And behind the back just parting with money, you can light up from $ 100 - the same effect.

I agree about fat! at least compatriots will envy you with such a set. alcohol - that is, for everyone, but the right snack is in a minimum of cases.

We somehow arranged nightly gatherings in charm, and then the Germans came in, the Egyptian night was quiet, but the fat had to be hidden. The Hans turned out to be such bigots that the Ukrainians and Russians could not keep up with them.

Thank you all very much, very nice answers, and fat, it means I'll take it !!!
By the way, for the sake of a seed, we from Belarus (Vitebsk, north side) brought frozen marinated kebabs of our own salting to the Crimea-Alupka-without a refrigerator in the summer !!! That's how you want meat!

They will not refuse vodka, but whether they like it is a question. A couple of times they themselves received vodka as a gift from locals, i. tourists present to the Arabs, and they, since they themselves do not use it, give it to us.
In hotels, the staff drinks, but not much, because it is forbidden, you can lose your place. They drink more in places of tourist life: Naama Bay, Old Market. Both Copts and Muslims drink. Moreover, drunken Arabs were seen twice, both times Muslims, once tourists (youngsters), and the second time a young man from the staff. The topic is actually discussed in Egypt, it is in connection with the youth, but we must round off. The last chord, it seemed to me that the Copts drink more correctly, that is, they know the time, place and their measure.
As for the products, if there are pickled cucumbers here, then lard, delicious sausage, delicious black bread and unsalted seeds are very difficult to find, almost impossible.

everyone drinks)) but it’s not a fact that they will be happy if you get a bottle in front of all the honest people and put it at the reception =) they give chocolate - I know. vodka - only they bring as a gift to acquaintances. and so .. first look at the number you get - then think about changing it or not
аватар i.sharm
Not everyone drinks, some for health reasons, some for religious reasons. I like people who follow the requirements of Islam, there are not many of them here, but they exist and they can be trusted.
By the way, I am baptized, I don’t experience any problems in communication, only mutual respect.

He himself was, he himself gave vodka and got a double room on the very seashore. vodka cost me 16 UAH, and our fellow travelers, Russians, as we later learned, paid 20-30 USD. for the same numbers!
take vodka and go! they all drink!
аватар tata57
And vodka went to us with a bang! in Sharm - both at our place and at theirs :)))

What do you mean good?
The standard rooms are all the same, as long as everything works (air conditioning, plumbing), and if it doesn’t work, they are obliged to replace the room at no extra charge.
But our people are used to giving bribes, and they learned it.
Have you ever heard of foreigners giving bribes in a hotel? - that's why they are respected, and this is the attitude towards our fellows, because they themselves taught them.
аватар miki08
No need to compare our position and foreigners. There, when buying a tour, they can immediately choose a room for themselves, and our operators buy up all the crap. from the fact that the operator booked the tour, and this naturally does not suit many, so people have to resolve issues through a bribe.

Muslims drink alcohol. Especially those countries that historically make wine and cognac: after all, not only for sale, but also for their own use.
