Hotel pros:

• clean swimming pool;
• daily cleaning of the rooms, the rooms are large.
Cons of the hotel:
• monotonous food;
• weak animation;
• there is no mini-golf in the hotel either!!!
Leisure benefits:
• silence!! ! (for those who do not like crowds of people and loud disco music);
• location - proximity to Israel and Jordan (if tourists travel from Sharm 3-4 hours, then from Taba about 1 hour to the border of Israel, to Jordan to the checkpoint 15 minutes and 40 minutes by ferry);
• 1.5-2 hours to Mount Moses and the monastery of St. . Catherine.
Vacation cons:
• one market, where a shuttle goes every hour))) (a bus for 20-25 people), where you can buy souvenirs, and various Egyptian handicrafts, but there is no fruit (! ), Fruit (mango) was ordered by the guide !!!
Tours:

Mount Moses and the monastery of St. Catherine. Climbing the mountain of Moses is difficult, it is difficult for an unprepared person, if there is a great desire to climb the mountain, immediately take a ship of the desert (or a Mercedes, as the locals say) a camel !! ! The price of $20 is up to the steps!! ! Then you go on your own 750 steps on the rocks, it's not easy either!! ! Likewise in the opposite direction. In our group, not many went upstairs, some tourists stayed at the first halt to meet the dawn.
Israel. We were determined to go, but we didn't! Many tourists are not allowed at the border, the reasons are unknown!! ! 4-5 hours at the border people go through control!! ! Those tourists who are not allowed in are returned 30% of the purchase price of the trip (from Taba the price of the trip is $ 130).
Jordan. We went to Petra - the trip is designed for 1 day, the price is $ 250. From the hotel to the ferry 15 minutes by bus, crossing the border and 40 minutes by ferry. On the way to Petra one stop for 30 minutes, for coffee, toilet, souvenirs!! ! I don’t remember the name of the store (2-storey), probably many tourists are brought there full of people !! ! There is also an observation deck! COSMOS prices!! ! Do not be fooled or bargain until the last!! ! Everything is expensive! The price is overpriced by 3-5 times!! ! We bargained, lowered the price a little, but near Petra we saw the same goods at the right price!!!
Peter. Go to the temple of El-Khazne ("Treasury") 2 km, and so that you are prepared for the fact that the guide who leads you walks fast enough !! ! For those who have a hard time, take transport (4-wheeled or 4-legged)!! ! Then there is free time, you can move at your own pace.
