Movenpick Taba Resort 5*.
Taba is the easternmost resort in Egypt. There is an airport in Taba, but it is closed. All planes arrive in Sharm El Sheikh. The distance to the hotel is about 220 km. Travel time is about 4 hours. Outside the window of an air-conditioned Mercedes bus, monotonous landscapes: mountains, stones, sand and rare settlements of local residents. There are 2 cities along the way: Dahab and Nuweiba, dozens of checkpoints with military personnel, equipment, fortified dugouts and their invariable attribute - a machine gun. I assure you that everything is calm and there is nothing to worry about. Movenpick Taba Resort 5 * met warmly and cordially. The electronic key to room 3089 was issued within 10 minutes, and this is considering that the cherished 14.00 did not come. The number of rooms is absolutely the same, with only one difference, namely, the balconies of some rooms overlooking the sea, while others overlook the green football field, the Chinese restaurant building and the central entrance to the hotel. The room is clean, the furniture is in good condition, there is a mini fridge, there was a TV, but I did not turn it on. The bed linen is white, the towels are white, disposable hygiene products are replenished daily, the room is cleaned daily. Also in the room daily during cleaning leave 1 bottle of drinking water 0.5 liters. Further, the water supply can be replenished from the coolers that are in the hotel.
Food: nothing insanely refined, everything is fresh, edible. Breakfast: scrambled eggs, sausages, rice, potatoes, salads, vegetable cuts, pastries, cereals, milk, tea / coffee, powdered juices, but quite tasty. Lunch: soup, 2-3 side dishes, chicken, beef, vegetables, salads, meat cuts, sweets, fruits. Dinner: chicken, beef, 2-3 side dishes, pastries, fruits (bananas, guava, oranges, grapefruits, dates). Drinking: beer is normal, wine is normal, brandy drank with cola - good. Cola, fanta, sprite - bottled, tomato juice - bottled, all for free. Coffee from coffee machines - free of charge.
Beach: sand with small-small pebbles, the entrance to the sea is the same. There is no pontoon. There are corals, fish too, but far from the coast towards the Hilton hotel. You can walk around the territory and in the Hilton hotel itself.
Rest: complete relaxation, the territory is huge, there is enough space for everyone, despite the fact that half of the hotel is being reconstructed in Movenpick Taba Resort 5 * (everything happens silently). Outside the hotel there is a bus station with a couple of shops. There are also shops on the territory of Hilton'a.
Border, Israel and Eilat. Israel border is 5 minutes walk. How to walk? ! At the passport control, the Egyptian immigration card is filled out (departure). Put an Egyptian stamp on departure from the country. Further transition to the Israeli border. The immigration card is not filled out. Passport control. They issue a check on arrival and a yellowish card. The check is torn when entering the city, the card is taken away. Hello Eilat. Bus number 16 stops right next to the border. He travels through the whole city and returns back to the border, only at number 15. There is a bus schedule at the bus stop. The fare is exclusively in shekels and is 4.90. The town itself is small, neat, there is something to see. Upon returning to Egypt, 106 shekels (about $ 30) are paid at the Israeli border - MANDATORY FEE. A payment slip is issued. This coupon cannot be lost, because. according to it, all subsequent visits to the Israeli Eilat will be free, i. e. the very first ticket (paid) is shown and a new one is issued, which does not need to be paid. The new ticket remains at passport control, while the old one is kept for the next free border crossing. At passport control, a mark of departure from Israel is put. At the Egyptian border, an immigration card is filled out on arrival in the country. A mark of arrival in Egypt is put. The procedure is straightforward and very simple. But, most importantly, after check-out from the hotel and the end of the vacation, you will have to pay 105 Egyptian pounds (mandatory) for crossing the Egypt-Israel border and back.
Have a good rest everyone.
