We were not lucky with the weather, for 10 days the sun looked out for maybe three days in total. It was the most annoying part of the trip. Everything else is a fairy tale.
First: the tour operator. Having foolishly read negative reviews about Pegasus, I spent the last couple of weeks before the trip heavily poisoning my life . . well, at the same time, my husband and daughter. Everyone regretted that I was going to Taboo, and to Pegasus . . it all seemed to me that the choice was unsuccessful. In fact, Pegasus turned out to be a powerful, responsible operator. We flew with UIA, the entire flight was Pegasovsky. Upon arrival (we were the only ones at the airport), we were quickly lined up, handed migration cards to everyone, and just as quickly pasted visas. The whole process, including the capture of a suitcase on the way to the exit, took about 15 minutes, I didn’t even have time to visit, sorry, the bathroom : -). At the exit from the airport, the representative of the winged horse counted us and seated us on buses. The luggage was loaded without our intervention.
The buses are very comfortable . . as the guide in Israel later said: “Don’t tell anyone that you were taken around Israel in such a cool way, ” we then politely kept silent about the fact that we were traveling on the same basses from the airport to the hotel : -). We arrived at the hotel in 25 minutes, where things were unloaded and taken somewhere, and we, accompanied by our guide, went to the reception. The guide handed us over to the caring hands of the administration and left to deliver the rest of the tourists. RUSSIAN IN THE HOTEL DOES NOT OWN ANYONE. This is a fact, the only exceptions are guides. Maybe it is this fact that allows Movenpick to remain a decent institution ; -). They put us in a luxurious room overlooking the sea and the pool. This is what we paid for, we did not put any money in the passport. Then we went down to the hall and the guide Ira explained to us in detail. WHERE we are, how to behave, and where we can go on excursions. We paid for Jordan and Israel immediately on the spot. Actually, all the excursions went smoothly, smoothly . . without delays and incidents . . damn it, if I had known earlier, back in Kyiv! I wouldn't make myself feel like that!!

Secondly, the hotel. The hotel conquered, I want back! It hurts to look at the photos, tears well up : -) Our room is pleasant, large, with very thoughtful ventilation. The bathroom has forced ventilation around the clock. Beds are comfortable and large. Hairdryer (turned on by a special small button under the handle, which must be kept pressed all the time : -)), a set of cosmetic accessories, and other trifles really adorned life : -) But I want to say a separate word about the staff. I just fell in love with this people: cheerful, friendly, educated, respectful . . which, unfortunately, you can’t say about our compatriots. Fortunately, the number of the latter tended to zero. We made friends with the waiters, the bartenders, the maid boy : -), the floor manager, the receptionists, the towel guys. Moreover, Abdu, who issued them, graduated from the mathematical faculty. Cairo uni. We made friends with a Scot, my husband took pictures of fish with him, And the Scot himself assured that the fish are not the same on the Holopogos, they have the wrong profile : -)
They fed us a lot and carefully, with my problems in the gastric part, I did not experience any discomfort. Beef, chicken, turkey - this is at home in my diet. Lots of vegetables, few fruits. Sweets are just dofiga, my daughter got rid of it to the fullest. Delicious mango juice. Local alcohol . . you can’t drink : -) It’s no . .
Service on top: everything is clean, beautiful . . the only thing I didn’t really like was plastic dishes on the beach. I don’t like plastic glasses : -(. But they were clean, tables and chairs too. They moved the sun loungers for us, covered them with towels, we felt at home with my mother : -) Every evening, the waiter Saleh reserved a table for us and set great cocktails! And the British behaved with the waiters in general as with relatives: they chatted with them, asked about their health, about their parents, met them like old friends . . cool : -)
Third, excursions. There were three of them: Jordan, Israel, motorcycle safari. Well, there’s really nothing to talk about here, volumes of books have been written about Peter and mountains of films have been shot, I’ll say one thing: I’m happy that I went there! Israel made a more depressing impression on me than Jordan, Israel as a state as a whole, Jerusalem is the dream of every person, regardless of religion, this is understandable. The Dead Sea is also unforgettable. Moreover, we were just lucky with the weather: in Jordan, in Petra, the fog cleared in 15 minutes and we were let through! And in Jerusalem, a day after our excursion, it snowed so much that all subsequent excursions were canceled . .
Motosafari - return to youth! I am a fat middle-aged housewife, I drove through the canyon on an ATV like Schumacher! In the end, my anniversary was a success (we went with my family to celebrate my 40th birthday), it was an unforgettable fantastic trip. . . I want back.
