Just returned. Impressions are twofold. The ground part completely tripled me, but the sea ...Although it’s better in order.
The hotel is located more than two hundred kilometers from Sharm, and this is a plus for the plane for another 3 hours of travel. But for example, Moscow and Kyiv fly to the local airport, which is about 40 minutes. In general, the road is somewhat exhausted, but it's still a stone in the direction of Pegasus. Why fly to Sharm at one in the morning? ! Those who are in Sharm will have a rest, what should they do at night before settling, and for those who go to Taba, Dahab? They will also arrive at the hotel at night. We arrived at the hotel around 4 am. Why does Tez have arrivals to Hurghada, to Sharm at 5-7 o'clock, and Pegasus at midnight ! ? Well, departures, respectively, too, at an inconvenient time. A year ago, from Hurghada to Marsa Alam, the transfer is the same for 3 hours, but during daylight hours, look around - like an excursion. And here it’s dark and you can’t look at anything and you can’t sleep - that’s completely exhausted. Kilometers dragged on endlessly...
HYATT REGENCY, INTERCONTINENTAL TABA HEIGHTS, MARRIOTT TABA HEIGHTS and SOFITEL TABA HEIGHTS + golf courses - are in one closed area! Movement throughout this HUGE territory is free! You can just walk around! It seems like all this has one owner and therefore there are no colored bracelets - it was not customary : )
How will citizens of vacationers be distinguished? Well, how can someone from another hotel wander in to eat! ? And apparently wandered; ) from neighboring Hayat! It's half board...
We went with friends, upon check-in I asked for rooms on the 3rd floor, they said that they could give one on the 3rd second on the 4th. Well, that's good. I took on the 4th. On the 3rd floor, the rooms turned out to be significantly larger than on the 4th, but this is quite enough, to be honest, I don’t know why such a large room is needed as on the 3rd floor ...But on the 1st and 2nd floors, I would not want to live due to the lack of a balcony and access directly to the pool. In general, by numbers - offset.
The inspection of the canteen showed good dishes and furniture, a pleasant interior, an ample and tasty assortment of food and fruits, and friendly staff. "Bar on the beach" - pleased with solid plastic mugs for beer and glasses for other drinks - OFF. Normal draft "Sahara", and not "nothing" bottled "Stella" added only positive emotions. Juices from packages, ice cream - real. The beach is spacious, sandy (it should be noted that the sand is good), there is a pier and just a sandy entry into the sea marked with buoys. You can see the coast of Jordan, especially at night. Normal volleyball court! That's just because of the small number of Russian-speaking vacationers with volleyball was tight. Two or three teams will play and disperse: (I had to actively call for the continuation of the "sports festival", heh ...it's the Russians ...three teams will gather and cut themselves to take off until they completely "turn off the lights. "
And here the French are for the most part, but the Germans and the British are different - not any sports excitement and courage. But it should be noted at the end of our holiday a large company of the French drove up, so their youngsters turned out to be very passionate about volleyball.
And the game became dynamic, gambling and twice a day. The guys are great for every ball and the girls are also not far behind. One is OUR man in general - pulling the ball tore off his knees. The blood really flows like a trickle, but it hasn’t left! Playing! Eyes sparkle with excitement, just staring. And she succeeds in everything. Well, just well done - girl!
The rest of the animation, as usual, there is jerking in the water and all that is never interesting to me. But is available. In the evening, it’s true that everything is going on with them quite sluggishly, but this is not a minus for us either. On Thursdays, karaoke - lures a specially trained uncle, sings so very pleasantly. Well, mostly Russians, who have already been taken on their chests.
The British-French-Germans simply looked at the whole thing, so passively ...But the young Arab girls did not really zabatsat a couple of three of their songs. I liked it : ) As a result, it's sad with the evening entertainment there, but for us it's just a plus. I played pool with my son. Billiards in the hotel is paid - $ 5 per hour, $ 3 - half an hour. The tables are a little cushioned, but "with beer" is quite enough : )
And that's why we go to Egypt - the sea. Heh...sad. The reef is weak, the transparency due to the sand does not cause that delight that was in Marsa Alam. Depths are from 3-7 meters, then there is just a slow deepening of the sandy bottom. We swam from Khayatovsky Pris. Round trip. It is more interesting to sail towards Safitel, and then they did so, they came from the pier and went out on the beach at our beds.
If you swim towards the bay, then there is a completely sad sandy landscape, in search of depth for diving, I swam quite far and, returning back already at a depth of 7 meters, I came across a turtle. such a healthy tortilla turned out to be. She dived towards her, looking at me phlegmatically, so she departed into the blue distance. The next day, my wife and a friend and I went in search of the tortilla I had seen. Found. She lay about 5 meters away. They dived, took up the shell. From after all healthy, infection! The turtle phlegmatically began to emerge so we weigh on it. Come on, cake! Show us unprecedented speed. Neee slowly stuck her muzzle out of the water, took a noisy gulp of air and slowly went into the depths...
We also walked along the shore, past the hotel under construction, to the other side of the bay. Boats sailed there, I thought if they take excursions there, maybe it’s more fun there, but there’s nothing special there. Depths are up to 13-15 meters and everything is quite deserted.
We met two not very large barracudas. Other living creatures there are an order of magnitude smaller than at the hotel reef.
Well, what else to say: the sea is quite cluttered, with all sorts of packages, etc. It's sad! Total: the sea here is well suited for those who want to learn how to swim with a snorkel-mask-fins, children and people who are afraid of the depth. Due to the shallow depth, you can perfectly see all the living creatures of the reef, and not big waves will not greatly strain inexperienced snorks.
Excursions: Taboo is positioned as a place from which to travel to Jerusalem and Petra. But there is an opinion that in terms of money it will be the same as from Sharm, the only benefit is that it is easier to get there. A friend and his family went to Jerusalem, according to his stories, I was only once again convinced that I was right, believing that this was a golimous swindle of tourists. Maybe people who are deeply religious and all that - it's really interesting and necessary, but there is absolutely nothing for normal Soviet citizens to do there.
But if anyone still wants to, I’ll tell you the following: the organizers of this excursion do not guarantee anything, that is, it may not be possible to visit everything that is planned. Then no one - no one is waiting! Lost! ? Your problems! Get yourself to the frontier post and wait for your group to arrive. Ohotakvot, and the prices there say horse at all. And they say they get lost there - easily, like not forgetting: "tsYgel-tsYgel-ay-lu-lu! ". "Dead Sea" - a complete wiring (I heard this opinion from a large number of people, including those who liked the trip itself). Well, the purchase of anything they sell there is better to do on the way back. There is an opinion that it will be much cheaper. Well, all this action is quite tiring in physical terms, therefore, for a thoughtful inspection, you need to take a two-day option. Something like this...
Now again a pebble in the Pegasus garden: a girl is listed as a guide there - Julia (apparently in neighboring hotels too).
Information about the hotel is somehow sluggish and not convincing. Everything has to be pulled out of it. Can't say anything about the excursions. So the general words that I have already read while sitting at home in Chelyabinsk. Don't know the details! That is, he sells a "pig in a poke" to tourists. At the place at the time indicated to her - usually there was only her bag, that is, it indicated her presence at the workplace. Well, okay, she does not say that there is a dive center on the territory of TABA HEIGHTS and there you can also get hold of "sea" excursions, not to mention diving and other windsurfing - parachutes. But, about the fact that you can take a free golf lesson - why not say? Guys, they say you have a wonderful golf club near you, they hold all sorts of mega-competitions here. But for the guests of our hotel on Wednesdays from 15.30 to 16.30, they conduct absolutely free, that is, for nothing, training to play this exotic game for Russia. Try it! Etc...
Why am I going there myself and not knowing the language I find out this interesting moment. Now, if I knew this immediately upon arrival, then my son and I managed to learn for free and I think that I continued for money ...And my wife would try what it is ...Well, since Yulia does not say, I will say:
In the golf club, all hotels are scheduled on certain days, in particular Sofitel - on Wednesday. Time is always the same. The uncle will give you sticks and spends on the field for training and in English will tell you how-to-where. Give you a bucket of balls and you will try to shoot these balls. This is not an easy task and requires a certain technique. Uncle will follow you and tell you what's wrong.
After 40 minutes, my hands began to "break" ...I fired three buckets of balls. There were five successful hits, one even about 150 meters. I and my son got great pleasure.
After lengthy negotiations, an agreement was reached that it would be $ 380 and he is looking for two more people who want to at least divide by four, because it is hardly possible to find all six people. It took a couple of days to search, and on our last day we moved to the "megaArybalka". Two more applicants turned out to be clearly understandable Russians. Uncle under 50 with a young girlfriend. A friend is clearly understandable in the "megafishing" did not participate. Upon leaving the port and throwing in mega gear, two large polythene bags were caught for a start, and a long painful pause ensued. While the yacht continued to trolling, three mega-fishermen discussed that it was just another breeding ground for the campaign and the fish, as usual, went to the far cardon. After about 50 minutes of the yacht's movement along the coast, the clutches of two cartoons almost simultaneously worked. Oops!
Pull-pull, discussing that it’s somehow not even interesting on such “sticks” they’ll pull out even if you don’t feel anything, if it’s an ultralight spinning, on it and a perch with a cigarette pack gives the pleasure of fighting, and then ...They pulled out two mackerels a kilo 2 each. And again we trolling the waters of the Red Sea. The friend took a jar of beer from the crew for 5 bucks to "sharpen the eye", took a couple of sips and almost simultaneously with the friction clutch working - the beer on the deck - rushed to the opposite side - spinning in his hands. From after all, reflexes! and the beer is not spilled and the fish is already playing. The friction clutch squeals, the crew fussed, stop the car, cries come on, come on! Hooked up with a hook. Pulled out. Tuna. Bloody as from a piglet, a third of the deck is flooded. The crew is almost jumping for joy. We are more than happy, I think that they themselves did not expect this. Figase, the blood was washed off and let's take pictures.
We see "mega-fishermen" later on advertising : ) Dude is getting pretty good...
The fish are sent to the refrigerator, the crew is very happy. It seems that they lived for two weeks from water to bread, and then we caught them fish. Now they will have food : )....
Went back on course. Silence. Sharp turn to starboard. Ahead "boils" water, screeched two clutches. "Stick" in my hands, I twist the cartoon with crazy speed, the friction clutch is not tightened, that I twist it right there, the fish pulls back, where is he, his mother, dragging on here ! ? I find it, I tighten it harder, well, that's better ...phew ...yes, when will she finally appear ...from he - tuna. Yes, of course, not the same as that of a friend, but he also hesitated to drag. 8 kg. Well, our companion pulled out the same ...The crew is happy and with passion, forgetting that the time has already passed, starts chasing the "boiling" water, but the flock leaves every time leaving us with nothing.
The sun hides behind the mountains. The yacht went back...
In principle, nothing like fishing turned out. Marked in the Red Sea. And then you swim, you swim, but you can’t hunt. And seeing a fish that is large by our standards, the finger itself presses on an imaginary trigger ...
In the evening, Yulia said that the departure was shifted three hours later, and therefore the departure from the hotel would be later. Fine! At least we’ll go to breakfast normally and calmly pack our suitcases ...
We got on the bus and they brought us ...to Taba airport. Type arrived, get out, the final! The people are panicking. What? We have a flight from Sharm!! ! They smile. Everything's kind of okay. Fly from here. In Sharm, they say there are some problems with the airport. In the waiting room, it turns out that people were brought here from Sharm. Our two sides are standing under the hot sun of Egypt and are already ready to fly, but only the crews are delayed.
And here is just one question: what the hell, Yulia, doesn’t know anything and didn’t say that we are flying from Taba and not from Sharm, as it is written on the tickets ? ! Mess!
PS. Well, the results of the hotel:
We liked the hotel, everyone liked it. We can say that for my family it would be ideal if the entire TABA HEIGHTS area was in Marsa Alam. And so it can be recommended for parents with small children and lovers of peace and quiet for whom the sea is not so important.
The hotel is located more than two hundred kilometers from Sharm, and this is a plus for the plane for another 3 hours of travel. But for example, Moscow and Kyiv fly to the local airport, which is about 40 minutes. In general, the road is somewhat exhausted, but it's still a stone in the direction of Pegasus.
