A couple of pre-trip questions
Hello! Tell me, please 1. Documents for departure (did you also receive that ju a day before departure?) There are 3 days left, and still nothing has been received. If they send it by e-mail and print it out, will these documents be accepted? 2. Is it cheaper to buy a swimming mask and coral shoes from us (Kyiv) or in Sharm? 3. What is your priority list of products that you brought from Egypt? (Mango, Kenyan coffee, dates, etc.) 4. What interesting things can you do in the evenings in Sharm alone? 5. I go alone without excursions to Cairo for one day. Besides the Nile River, the Pyramids and the Museum, are there any other must-see places? 6. Diving and just seeing something better on the island of Tiran or Ras Mohammed? 7. Is there any online store with food prices in Sharm, like our Metro?

item 1 - Sometimes we receive documents by e-mail a day in advance, we print them out - that's enough.
p.2 - Yes, I agree with the previous speaker - it's cheaper to buy there, as well as funds for and after sunburn.
item 3 - In winter I bring strawberries, and dates, mangoes, pomegranates, coffee and teas are interesting for them (the choice is according to your taste),
item 4. - In the evenings, for example, many walk in Hollywood, or they take them from hotels to discos.
item 5 - We in Cairo looked only at what you listed.

1. I received the documents either on the day of payment or the next. Be sure to check your full name and date of birth!!! If a typo can cost you (or they, but they will blame you) in the future, 20-30 dollars, in the best scenario, in the worst case, no one flies anywhere and no one will return the money. There are no stamps on the vouchers, so it’s not scary by e-mail, although in principle they are for your reassurance, they come to the airport and don’t ask for them, go to your check-in desk and give your passport, pick up your luggage and give a ticket with a number and place, although in Charme without a voucher, the security service may not let you into the airport (on the way back, I had such a case).
2. I bought everything for 7 km, Odessa, I don’t know the prices in Kyiv, in Sharm you can buy up to $ 5
3. Now is not the season for mango, it costs 6 dollars, in any case, in mid-April there was such a price, and it is worth considering that in Sharm everything is imported, I bought only tea at 15-20 dollars per kg (large Sudanese rose), small 10, delicious dates for 1 dollar

4. You can take a taxi to SoHo, Old City, Naama, a taxi there + waits 2-4 hours + back, at the exit you pay money - 6 dollars, but be sure to negotiate the price before the trip !!! We met a couple from Ukraine in a hotel and chipped in for 3 dollars per couple
5. There is nothing much more to do in Cairo, and there won’t be much time (the Nile River is very sad, the museum is interesting, the pyramids and the Sphinx are so-so), everything is for everyone
6. I really liked it on Tiran Island, the locals have 10 (in Naama) -15 (beach) dollars + 5 diving, it is better to dive to Tiran Island, near the coast where there is sand. because there will be 10-15 yachts on the island and all on top of each other. I have not been to Ras Mohammed, but they say that it is better on Tiran Island. Yes, the island of Tiran already belongs to Saudi Arabia and at the entrance to the yacht there is border control, it is better to have a phone with a photo of your passport, everywhere without problems
7. Did not use

girina1985, Thank you for your reply. As for the trip, I want it myself because the big minus of the tour. Trips, in addition to running after everyone, also spend time bringing tourists to the zone for buying all sorts of souvenirs. Better to see the city for yourself.

Visit the Old Market, Naama Bay area, in Nabq you can visit George Clooney's store, look on the Internet for a lot of information about him and write to him in viber, send a car to any hotel, bring, take away for free. I can advise on prices, just ask.

1. Documents are sent a week before departure. Call a travel agent, remind about yourself. They will send you a voucher, insurance and tickets - print it all out, they will accept it all. And don't forget your passport! 2. Mask, snorkel, fins, corals are cheaper to buy in Sharm. We bought everything at the George Clooney store. He has a good silicone mask + snorkel with a valve for $10, good quality fins for $10 and corals for $2.5. He has a free transfer (bus, if 4 people can send a taxi) from any hotel in Sharm. You can find his viber number on the net or on youtube. You can buy everything in the "Old City" on the market or in Naama Bay, you already know the price, bargain!!! 3. All fruits are now $ 1 kg, except for mango, mango is not in season, Cluny has mango $ 4 kg, in the old city $ 7. Dates are very tasty with almonds inside, they were taken in boxes for presents.

6. There were also on the island of Tiran and Ras-Mohammed. They take you to Tiran Island every day, and Ras Mohammed on a yacht - 2 times a week (there is also a bus tour to Ras Mohammed). I liked both there and there, but the corals are more beautiful in Ras Mohammed. In Ras Mohammed on a yacht, an excursion is more expensive than Tiran Island. 7. I don’t know about the online store, but we went to the Carrefour store from fixers. prices. EVERYTHING is there, everything is more expensive than on the market, it's a pity for the time spent.

Good afternoon. Documents for the day, really.
Everything is cheaper there, just bargain. If it doesn't fit, you can change it.
Now dini, dates.
I liked the new excursion from Anex Unexplored land towards Tabi (Quadrics, jeeps, camels - along the desert), then a yacht and scuba diving for $ 80. I recommend it.

P.4 need a company. Where will you live in Sharm, in a hotel? Is there a civilization like Naama Bay or Soho nearby? Try to get to know someone. Then it won't be boring.

1. Documents per day. Print on a printer.
2. If you are interested in quality, take it with you. If the price - buy on the spot.
4. Nothing but a hookah with beer.
6. Definitely Ras Mohammed.
7. No as unnecessary. At the bazaar - you bargain, in the store (unless there are fixed prices, but most of them) you also bargain. For example, a kilogram of strawberries can be taken for five dollars, and for one. Therefore, looking at prices in advance is a waste of time.
I will object to Nusia. Nothing to do in Hollywood. Especially twice.

5. The citadel of Cairo, the mosques of Al-Azhar, Hussein - this is where we were taken on excursions. But if there were more than one day in Cairo, I would still look at the palaces, the TV tower and the Coptic quarter.

1. Documents are always given a couple of days - sometimes even 1 day before departure, but it's better to check with your tour operator. In general, everything can be printed, but do you need documents with seals (well, to calm your conscience, so to speak)?...
2. A mask with a snorkel (silicone) - you can for $ 5-7, silicone fins - up to 10, it all depends on your ability to bargain, plastic and both are a couple of dollars cheaper, slippers - up to 3, but there is a special need for I did not see them (especially if there are fins). This is clearly less than in Kyiv
3. I really liked their soft cheese (like feta) in packages - it arrives and stored perfectly, limes are a fairy tale (especially considering the prices in Kyiv), spices are also good (it’s better to take it in a supermarket (not in shops, prices are inadequate there, checked !), and not separate ones, but a mixture - you can buy separate ones here, but authentic mixtures are very cool (both for yourself and as small gifts).Tea - YES (Kenyan), regretted that I took a little (very small! ), for some reason I haven’t seen a pack of more than 250 g

3. coffee - not particularly impressed (yes, the grinding is fine, there is cardamom - but the price is clearly too high). Dates are specific, you need to get used to them, but they are worth it. Under no circumstances should you take it in your luggage! Only in hand luggage! And then you have to translate into baking;). Yes, and if not products, then I highly recommend hair cosmetics and cotton products
6. Diving in Ras Mohammad was amazing! As far as I understand, there are several places where they bring them to dive - not everyone is satisfied, we were lucky - the reef is very cool, there were a lot of fish, the guide led just to see the long part of the reef (it goes unevenly there), we even saw a few moray eels and stingray, and all sorts of others - do not count! On about. The tyrant didn't go
7. I myself was looking for such a store - I didn’t really find it (there were a couple of pieces on the search engine, but I’m not sure of the adequacy), in Sharm there are large supermarkets only on the outskirts, it was not convenient to get there, there were enough of those that are closer
Have a nice trip!

ViSe, do not confuse people about documents if you are not very sure and even confuse a travel agent with a tour operator.
