Came back 4 days ago. In Egypt for the 3rd time) were in Hurghada and Sharm, also in 5 *), but this is the best hotel in Egypt. The territory is large, but moderately green, the rooms are spacious, clean and new. The staff is friendly, never noticed a negative attitude towards the Slavs. We were very lucky with the weather - the sea was calm and there was no wind. The food is normal (they were not hungry), although those who expect Turkish abundance will be disappointed. There is no animation at all, but we didn’t need it, because we arrived with our company and we had fun ourselves. Excursion to Israel is a little tedious, but no more than in Cairo. Guide in Israel Boris is a very competent and interesting person. True, he brought it to expensive stores, but all guides do this. Everything is interesting, the Dead Sea is an unforgettable experience, and a cosmetics store by the sea is something. Prices are not just high, but sky-high (decent cream-250-300 USD).
A very good dutik on the border with Israel (on the Israeli side) - there are alcoholic drinks that are even hard to find here. The only negative in the hotel is the hotel guide from One2Go-Muhamed. He doesn’t really explain anything, he doesn’t help in any way, and he’s generally an unpleasant type. Therefore, all issues will have to be resolved by ourselves (but nothing will work without English, because no one in the hotel speaks Russian except for the guide). Do not forget to order dry rations during excursions, because the guide does not care about your hunger. I advise you to go to the hotel with families without children (since no one is particularly involved in children) or companies, because there is no fun, but otherwise the hotel is super.
Another bad thing is the airport. Tourists there are not treated at all like in a hotel, but like a herd of sheep, which can be driven into the drive to stand and wait for the representative of the airline to appear. And, most importantly, do not throw away tickets, even if you already have boarding passes, because.

They won't let you on the plane without a ticket.
I wish you all a great holiday at Intercontinental. Believe me, we have never regretted that we came to this hotel.
