Rested in this hotel for the New Year holidays from 5 to 13 January. I chose the hotel based on reviews and pictures on the Internet. I bribed the proximity to Jordan and Israel and a large well-groomed territory. At the beginning of the report, I will immediately make a reservation that I am an unpretentious tourist and I don’t faint from the sight of a cockroach on the floor of a restaurant.

Rested in this hotel for the New Year holidays from 5 to 13 January. I chose the hotel based on reviews and pictures on the Internet. I bribed the proximity to Jordan and Israel and a large well-groomed territory. At the beginning of the report, I will immediately make a reservation that I am an unpretentious tourist and I don’t faint from the sight of a cockroach on the floor of a restaurant. . . But such is the swine attitude towards tourists, as in this hotel I have seen few places, although I have traveled a lot !! ! The hotel was originally conceived and designed with love and taste, but now the owner is changing and everything has fallen into disrepair, a sort of Artek after the perestroika era. . . The hotel staff and management put a big bolt on the chaina and the wishes of the tourists. Upon checking into the hotel, a key with the number "1313" was issued, which was the first call : ))) and then it turned out that there was no hot water in the room (generally not bad). . . The water was repaired after 3 visits to the reception on the 3rd day, on the 5th the hose in the shower fell off : ))), which required another N number of nerve cells and trips to the administration. . . What is wet cleaning the servants do not know in principle. We got the impression that our room was used before us as a branch of a hairdressing salon. . . : ))) hair of indeterminate origin was everywhere, in the bathroom, on the towels in the corridor, in a neat pile : ))) The territory, although green and neatly trimmed to dirty, bulls everywhere, paper and ubiquitous packages that littered the bottom of the hotel beach... The booze sucks, you can drink the current local Luxor beer, the rest is shamelessly diluted. . . In all hotels there were 30-40 people vacationing. Bartenders generally put on tourists and are engaged in serving some kind of left people from local people who come and live in hotels instead of tourists, like orphans from the novel by Ilf and Petrov. . . There is no animation, a heated pool, they promised to do it throughout the rest, but they never did. The last straw of my patience was that when I arrived at the restaurant at exactly 21:00, I saw pristine tables without a single dish. To my reasonable question, where is everything, I heard the answer that there are few tourists and they decided to close an hour early : ))) As compensation, I was given coals from a barbecue, which were once chicken and a piece of salad. . . I had to break a certain amount of dishes, and demand to call the hotel manager, threatening with various punishments in the morning. . . After talking with the chief (the cop who was hired for the transitional period), I was given 2 packages with beer and fruit (which are just not in the restaurant, and the next day a special dinner was brought to the room, obviously not from our hotel). . . In general, the hotel falls short of **. Excursions from Anex are expensive. . . Of the pluses, a large territory, silence and solitude, proximity to Taba, Jordan and Israel, of the minuses, everything else. . . And yes, if you are extreme and by some miracle you will be brought to this hotel, then take excursions from Mukhamed, a boy of about 25. He has a green jeep like Willis, standing near the boat on the shore which. . . It seems that he is the only one who works within a radius of 100 km. You can go fishing with him, then he will cook the fish and bring it back. Alexey, 38 years old, vacationed with his wife 05.01-15.01 in the winter of 2015 from the birth of Christ.

I will probably repeat a lot, but I will add something. 1. ROAD TO THE HOTEL They waited for a long time at the exit from the airport, it turned out that in the dark, tourists were taken to Sinai in a convoy of several buses, a military jeep with an open body was in front, and military men with machine guns were sitting in it with their backs to each other.

I will probably repeat a lot, but I will add something.
1. ROAD TO THE HOTEL
They waited for a long time at the exit from the airport, it turned out that in the dark, tourists were taken to Sinai in a convoy of several buses, a military jeep with an open body was in front, and military men with machine guns were sitting in it with their backs to each other. The Egyptians do not advertise this, but in fact, groups of militants are hiding in the Sinai desert and from time to time make themselves felt. Literally yesterday, on October 19.2014, a group of 7 military men blew up in the north of Sinai. Many tourists do not see or hear anything, but this does not mean that it is not there.
2. SETTLEMENT
We arrived at the hotel at night, settled immediately without money. The rooms are all the same in the hotel, there is no difference. The room was clean, everything worked. There are no complaints about the number. The hotel consists of 3 identical buildings, which stand in a semicircle. Four-digit room number: for example 321.3 is the building number, 2 is the floor number, 15 is the room number and it turns out the third building, second floor,
15 room. Building numbers start from the sea. Many do not want to settle on the first floor, everyone constantly walks past, there is no balcony, but there are also pluses. Our friends lived on the first floor: the room is 1.5 times larger than on the 1st and 2nd floors, they liked it and nothing bothered them.
3. TERRITORY
Acquaintance with the hotel happened in the morning when we left the room and went to the restaurant for breakfast. What we saw shocked us to such an extent that we wanted to burst into tears, run away from here and generally go home: A REAL GASKET, disposable utensils, paper, crushed food were scattered everywhere..... The territory is large, they only take care of the vegetation on it, water it, cut it... Everything else is in such decline that it is necessary to close the hotel and only then can it be repaired, but it is better to do it all over again. The paths laid out with already killed tiles are apparently unwashed for several years and all in crushed dates that are layered on top of each other,
from here there are crowds of flies that are everywhere. Half of the territory is already abandoned and does not function.
4. POOLS
2 dead pools that are never cleaned, but only chlorinated, chipped tiles, dirty pool edging... When we were there, not a single tourist swam there, only Arabs in their attire. Once it was apparently beautiful there, because beautiful bowls for a waterfall were made by the pool, but everything is abandoned and makes a dull impression.
5. RESTAURANT
This is not a restaurant or even a canteen, it's an eatery....DIRT all around. The staff does not know what it is to wipe off the table, only to brush the crumbs directly onto the chairs with your hand - this is at best, but in general they do not bother with this.
6. FOOD
Those who have traveled a lot on the all-inclusive system will be shocked by what they see. Like an old Soviet sanatorium: first, second and third... only what they gave, there is no choice. Rice, pasta, pieces of chicken or beef, fish such that you bite and spit it out,
chopped cucumbers, brown tomatoes, chopped raw beets and carrots and radishes... and EVERYTHING!!!!!! ! . Oh yes: fresh melon and not ripened, oranges, dates are tasty, but not always. For dessert: dry biscuit cut into squares with a marigold. ALL! ALL! ALL!
NO SNACKS ANYWHERE DURING THE ALL DAY ON THE TERRITORY.
Only 2 bars work: on the beach and near the pool, there are only drinks
7. DRINKS:
If you want to drink - bring your own, what is poured there is not subject to the name. 100 gr. plastic cups, there are no other utensils in the hotel. If alcohol is poured, then this is 1/7 of this glass, if juice, soda and beer are poured, then 2/3. It is hard for our tourists to understand this norm, especially beer, which is drunk in liters, and there in one hand 2 incomplete glasses and goodbye.
After lunch at the bar on the beach they give ice cream, it is about 30 grams each and not tasty, and it is also not enough for everyone.
8. BEACH
You can’t argue here, many experienced people say
which is the best in Egypt. Wide, long, soft sand both on the beach and when entering the sea. If you swim with a mask, then small fish can be seen right near the shore in shallow water. The water is crystal clear, you don't want to go out....There are many beautiful fish near the pier, there are corals under the water, and in them there are sea urchins and lionfish, shoals of small fish stand like a solid wall. After dark on the pier, the backlight is turned on and the sea night life becomes visible: sea urchins crawl out, flute fish, moray eels, a flock of lionfish, squids....You can endlessly look at the night sea... a warm breeze... and in your soul unrealistically good. In general, it gets dark very early in Nuweiba, at 17-17.30 it is already dark. Somewhere at 16.00 the sun goes behind the mountain and dusk begins. After sunset, it is absolutely impossible to swim in the sea, a completely different life begins there, completely different fish climb out, this creature is felt even intuitively looking at it.
It is impossible to feed the fish from the pier, and indeed, shoals of fish come, followed by SHARKS. This is exactly what happened during our vacation. I personally saw how fish were fed from the pier and at that time I swam there with a mask and watched how different fish flocked to feed. And on the same evening, a SHARK 1-1.5 long sailed to the pier. Everyone who saw it was shocked. All the locals claimed that there had never been sharks here for many years. But everything starts somewhere.
After the SHARKS visited the shore, we entered the ox not with the same pleasure as before, and with great apprehension. THINK for yourself.
A kilometer from the hotel right along the coast, many people go diving and snorkeling, there is a coral reef and a lot of fish near the coast. Our friends went and were delighted. Local Bedouins take tourists there for little money, even swim up on a boat. But when friends saw that they were feeding fish there, so that more of them would gather, they didn’t go there anymore.
There is a nice guy on the beach who gives out towels, everyone calls him ALI. Make friends with him, he always helps everyone, regardless of whether you give him a tip or not. He says this: people paid money for the rest and it should be good. Some here are indignant that he takes up space in the morning. He borrows them for those who treat him well and you will borrow, talk to him. And if there are no places, go to him, he will definitely place you, be sure. He loves Russian tourists and wants to talk more with them and learn Russian. He is very kind and not at all conflict, he is very worried about all the skirmishes between tourists.
Yes, I also want to note that there is no toilet on the beach. ONLY ONE TOILET IN THE WHOLE TERRITORY OF THE HOTEL, in the dining room and ALL.
9. EXCURSIONS
Excursions are offered: a hotel guide, someone is walking on the beach, and on the beach near an abandoned ship (you will see), there is a Bedouin in a white dress, Ibrahim.
Unlike many Arabs, he is not at all vicious, patient and calm. Ibrahim has the cheapest excursions. We talked with tourists, they all show the same thing only for different prices. I'll tell you about our trip to ISRAEL from Ibrahim, one-day 80 dollars per person. We left the hotel at 22.00, after 1.5 hours we were at the Israeli border, we quickly passed it, on the other side we were met by a girl, put on a bus and disappeared. Let's go, we're going, no one says a word when and where we will be. As it turned out later, we were driving all the time without a guide, with a woman driver who did not understand Russian, and the guides sat down with us only at stops where it was necessary to tell. First stop at the Dead Sea - 4 o'clock in the morning, dark, very cool. The guide meets: here is the Dead Sea, undress, swim, you need to buy soap in the store for $ 5, otherwise the salt water will not wash off, you can buy more dirt to anoint yourself with $ 5. for a bag, it's better to buy three,
But two may not be enough. And she left. We approached the water: it was dark, it was cold, but the most daring undressed and went, though the water is like fresh milk, very warm. After that, you need to go out and wash off in outdoor showers with cold water, everything is perfectly washed off without soap for 5 dollars. They changed and dried themselves in dirty street changing rooms. The entire coast near the water in private tents with people who arrived as savages. There are piles of rubbish and scraps everywhere. In general, I realized that the calling card of the Arab countries is DIRT all around. On the way, the Russian guide LYUBA sat down with us - this is a separate story. With her we went to Jerusalem to the wailing wall. She spoke in an interesting and accessible way. After the wall, they went to Palestine to Bethlehem, the homeland of Jesus Christ. There is no border between Israel and Palestine in this place. Lyuba drove us to the church shop and said that you can buy everything here, you can’t buy it anywhere else. The people went to buy. My friend and I are seasoned, we didn’t take anything there,
because everything is five times more expensive. Then they paid for it, because they violated the conditions of the business, did not buy anything at the point nailed by the guides. After the shop we went to the Temple where Jesus Christ was born. There, on the street leading to the Temple, you need to buy everything, and just then when you go there, and not from there, you will not get lost, even if you linger, you will find your own in the temple. You will need: a knitting of 33 candles, how many knittings you need to bring home, think for yourself 1-1, $ 5 simple, $ 2 - scented, small wooden crosses for gifts for $ 1, a larger cross to raise to Calvary $ 2-3. Walk along this street, if they say such prices, take it quickly, it will not be cheaper. Light up everything in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, that's where if you get lost, you won't be found. We decided to buy everything after visiting the Temple in Bethlehem, we were no more than 5 minutes behind, we came to the bus stop, but it was not there. Phoned anyone
and she tells us that they say you are in a foreign country and no one will wait for you, take a taxi for your money and come to the cafe where we eat, like I told you not to buy anything on the street. Without thinking twice, we turned to the police, and when we found out who our guide was, they twisted it at the temple..... they know her there, apparently this is not the first time. We drank coffee, called a policewoman and she took us to the group. And this LOVE-CREATURE sat and smiled. Yes, the whole group asked us to wait, was indignant, but she said no. People were shocked. We decided not to deal with her, nevertheless we traveled to holy places, life will certainly deal with her later. I must say that, to be honest, almost none of our group felt special holiness, everything is done there to pump money from tourists. You can only hear Money come on, come on a dollar..... Everything has its own price: a note for the dead - 5 dollars, for health - 5 dollars.......Probably it's worth seeing it once and ticking yourself,
that you were there, but you won’t be able to get soaked in some kind of holy spirit, wherever you buy an excursion, from a hotel guide for $ 115. or Ibrahim for 80, the same thing.
Ibrahim arranges excursions cheaper. You can gather 5 or more people for 1 dollar. and he takes him to Nuweiba to the market. You tell me what you want to buy and he'll be lucky. We needed a mango, he drove to where for 2 dollars. kg, and in the hotel for 6 dollars. In general, apart from the mango from Egypt, there is nothing to bring, but you need to choose it correctly, it should not be stone or soft, it should be a little soft to the touch.
Well, it looks like I wrote everything. I probably won’t go to Egypt anymore: I love comfort, but what can you do about it. But as they say, taste and color..... We talked with tourists from other hotels, there was not a single one who was satisfied with their hotel: the consensus is dirt, poor service....I think this is due to the situation in the country, saving on everything they say it used to be better.
A lot of people in our hotel came on last-minute trips from Pegasus for little money. Pegasus was selling out tours apparently knowing everything that was going on here. With this money we rested.......BUT WE DID NOT PAY FOR DIRT. We are glad that we met good people, our company consisted of: Moscow, Odessa, Orenburg, Izhevsk. We had a friendship, the sun, a beautiful beach, the purest water, some of our own alcohol..... the rest is wonderful. THINK FOR YOURSELF!! !
1. ROAD TO THE HOTEL
They waited for a long time at the exit from the airport, it turned out that in the dark, tourists were taken to Sinai in a convoy of several buses, a military jeep with an open body was in front, and military men with machine guns were sitting in it with their backs to each other.

I used to be surprised at people who want to relax in silence, but at some point I also wanted to escape from endless work and just relax, and then a tour to the Hilton in Nuweiba turned up, where my work colleague was going. The two, of course, are more fun, so I decided to join. As it turned out, the decision was correct.

I used to be surprised at people who want to relax in silence, but at some point I also wanted to escape from endless work and just relax, and then a tour to the Hilton in Nuweiba turned up, where my work colleague was going. The two, of course, are more fun, so I decided to join. As it turned out, the decision was correct. Before that, my husband and I rested once in Sharm, and we did not go beyond it. The road from Sharm to Nuweiba was not as long as expected, we arrived with a breeze in 2 hours. The landscape along the road is amazing: mountain road, desert and sea. The territory of the hotel was also very beautiful, well-groomed and very green. A huge fat plus was the lack of crowds of tourists. The hotel was practically empty. It feels like we own it. We were given a room right away, although we arrived at the hotel around 12:00 and we could be scammed at the reception until 14:00. Settled without bribes in a building closer to the restaurant on the ground floor. The room is basic but perfectly clean, towels and sheets are white and fresh. Two single beds, bedside tables, large closet in the hallway, dressing table. Everything in the bathroom shines, the shower is in perfect condition. The cleaner is diligent and pleasant, never stood over his soul for a tip. The room had a shower, the other tourists who chose the bungalow had a bathtub. This may be important for someone. The food is excellent. Compared to the Grand Hotel in Sharm, there was just a huge selection of dishes. For breakfast, everything is more or less usual for Egypt, except for the lack of queues. It's just great when you don't have to wait 15 minutes until it's your turn for an omelet. Pleased with very tasty pastries and again an omelet. For lunch and dinner hit the grill. At the same time, they impose meat from the heart, you even have to refuse. Among other things, pasta, french fries or mashed potatoes, delicious rice, sweets, fruits (dates, oranges, melons) were always in the form of a side dish. Poisoning was not observed. Drinks were good too, bartenders were friendly. Always served with a smile. You will be welcome at this hotel, no matter what nationality you are, so I almost always wanted to leave a tip. Since not enough dollars were taken, they withdrew money from the card at the ATM at the hotel. The course was adequate, then the pounds were exchanged and handed out as a tip. The beach was simply unforgettable. Spacious, almost private. You can enter the water from the shore, but it is still more convenient from the pontoon. There are fewer fish than in Sharm, but still the purity of the water is mesmerizing. The masks were forgotten at home, bought cheaply from a store in a hotel. We swam a lot, although the sun constantly drove us into the shade. I remember a pleasant young man on the beach who distributes towels, his politeness and always good mood cannot but be noted. There was almost no animation at the hotel, there was an oriental show a couple of times. After about five days of complete relaxation and reading entertaining literature, we nevertheless decided to go to Jerusalem. We called the Red Sea Travel company, which a friend found on the Internet, booked an excursion in one call. The bus picked us up from the hotel on time, the tour was for a day and a half, from which we were not tired at all. From the rest there were only positive emotions. I dream to be in Nuweiba again. Next year we will go with my husband and will definitely visit Petra.

The rooms are spacious with excellent services and cleaning. The location of the hotel is convenient for traveling to Israel, only an hour away. Having booked an excursion in advance at the Egyptian agency egypt sharm trips for a reasonable price, without prepayment, we successfully went, although a separate guide in every possible way intimidated, so that do not buy a tour from other agencies. But the organization was at a decent level, the bus arrived on time, the Russian guide in Israel was very attentive and professional. I liked the food at the hotel, not very varied, but quite acceptable. There is a market near the hotel, you can buy clothes fruits are inexpensive, and in the pharmacy there are inexpensive Egyptian creams of good quality. I recommend the hotel to anyone who wants to relax in a calm and pleasant atmosphere.

My parents and teenage daughter went to the hotel from April 18 to April 30.2013. We took a ticket through Pegasus due to a direct flight from our city. Visited Egypt for the first time. We arrived in Shesh around 7 am local time, drove to the hotel for 2 hours and 20 minutes with one stop. When we drove up to the hotel - we were horrified, at the entrance to the territory - we were delighted with the beauty.

We arrived in Shesh around 7 am local time, drove to the hotel for 2 hours and 20 minutes with one stop. When we drove up to the hotel - we were horrified, at the entrance to the territory - we were delighted with the beauty. They settled immediately, without additional payments, they paid for the superior (on the first floor), they settled in it, in the 3rd building. A plate of fruit was waiting in the room, they also brought it upon check-out. They gave out two white terry bathrobes and two pairs of slippers size 44, they did not change, because they took their own, and only the father used the bathrobe when he went out to smoke. Changed linen and towels in a timely manner, replenished hygiene products (shampoo, shower gels and moisturizing skin lotion), 3 small bottles of water, tea and coffee (these rooms have a kettle and cups). I liked the room and was very comfortable, although there was interest from other vacationers. One day a heron came into the room. ))) Of the insects, a cockroach was once seen on the street, unexpectedly flying, and one more time a cute gecko ran into the room to visit. I also liked the food very much, everything was tasty, well cooked and the portions were sufficient, because they did not hesitate to take an additive. Great tasty thick juices (not yupi), especially the multifruit one, and also really enjoyed the grilled liver and meat. Daughter liked the ice cream, as well as burgers and fries. Only with pizza there was a misunderstanding due to the fact that they did not specify which one they wanted (there is a board on which the types of pizza are written - with tuna, for example). There are not many fruits (oranges, dates, guava and chopped pineapple, melons). Bought strawberries for $ 3 tray - very tasty. Before they were only in Turkey several times, I liked Hilton Nuweiba more. The staff, apart from the bartender named Wessam (he's arrogant and rude! ) are all top notch! Friendly, attentive, sympathetic, loving children, not extorting tips (sometimes they gave themselves out of gratitude)! The hotel area is large, everything is green and blooming. The pools are small, but we went to swim in the sea. The water seemed cool to the older generation, but they swam a lot. For several days there was nibbling plankton, not everyone nibbled. The beach is huge, sandy, with a small rocky strip, they give good towels, sunbeds are comfortable and you don’t have to take up space, there was always enough. There are no corals (they are, as they wrote, away from the beach), but there are a lot of fish, grandfather and granddaughter swam in masks, counted about 15 species of fish, saw a turtle. For several days there was nibbling plankton. At night, they turn on the illumination of the pier, we saw hunting lionfish and other fish. The animation was presented in the form of water aerobics in the morning and the evening performance "Egyptian Night", especially liked the dance with skirts. The hotel was chosen for a quiet and relaxing holiday, so everything matched. We went for a spa massage (with oils and hot stones), 5 sessions of 25-30 minutes each - for all $ 100 (neck + back + arms, if more + legs then 150), I liked it very much. Hotel guide from "Pegasus" Marina intimidated her parents (by the fact that insurance is valid only when you go with Pegasus, etc. ), and they bought from her (greatly overpaid) excursions to the bathyscaphe (60 dollars per person) and to the monastery of St. Catherine (50 dollars per person). Everything was not bad, I really liked the guide from the excursion to the monastery, but it’s not worth buying videos from excursions ($ 20 each): the fish on the video from the bathyscaphe turned out to be not colored, the video itself is long, boring and the sound is Arabic music; video from the monastery in the same vein, only the music of Morricone. ))) After the excursion to the monastery, they brought them to Dahab for shopping (included in the price) - they didn’t like it, it was expensive and there was little choice (they brought it to one store). In hotel shops they took cotton tunics for 10 dollars, the same larger size was bought from the Bedouins for 8. Souvenirs - magnets for 1 dollar. Most of the Russians in the hotel (not "Tagil", but loudly swearing were seen on the beach), there were British, Germans and Poles (they made noise, littered a lot, rushed like seagulls to food). The rest flew by unnoticed, the daughter flew away in tears. Sunbathed, had a great rest, they will go to the hotel again. Recommend to families with children and lovers of a relaxing holiday.

Hotel rating: 7 We rested together with my wife for 2 weeks in the first half of April. The overall impression is a good hotel. We were satisfied with both the room (building 1.3rd floor) and the service. There were not many vacationers and there were always places both in the restaurant and on the beach. there is a large park on the territory and a sandy beach.

Of the minuses, I would note: monotonous food, wine only at lunch and dinner (this is with ALL INCLUS. ) there are no tea / coffee machines. But these are trifles. But very tasty local juices and good undiluted alcohol. The animation is unobtrusive, it's boring in the evenings. Those who decide to relax in the Hilton Nuweiba will not regret it in principle. But we are unlikely to go there a second time - it's very far from everything.

My family and I vacationed at the Hilton Nuweiba Coral Resort 4* in early April. Vouchers were taken for 14 days in the Anex tour. What struck us at first sight was the territory of the hotel - everything is green, a lot of birds, it was a corner of paradise! This is a family friendly hotel, but if you are planning a honeymoon there, then the beds in the room will have to be moved or settled on one.

My family and I vacationed at the Hilton Nuweiba Coral Resort 4* in early April. Vouchers were taken for 14 days in the Anex tour. What struck us at first sight was the territory of the hotel - everything is green, a lot of birds, it was a corner of paradise! This is a family friendly hotel, but if you are planning a honeymoon there, then the beds in the room will have to be moved or settled on one. The rooms are comfortable, everything works fine, the maids clean them conscientiously. Drinks are brought to your room daily. True, there is one caveat: if you don’t drink, then the next day they won’t bring it. Therefore, it is better to hide drinks in order to get fresh in the morning. For non-smoking tourists, a separate restaurant is allocated, smokers can stay in the next one. Such a division is not found in every hotel. We traveled with kids so we always ate at the main non-smoking restaurant. The only negative of the hotel is nowhere to go. Around the desert, on the second day you get used to this exotic and no longer pay attention to it. Animation and discos start in the evening, on our arrival they were not very popular. During the day, you can have fun on the territory of the hotel, depending on your preferences, for example, my husband preferred to play volleyball on the beach, and at that time I did aqua aerobics. Very sensible and attentive Russian-speaking instructor-girl. It is worth going to this hotel especially to visit excursions to Jerusalem. Take comfortable shoes and warm clothes, because you have to walk a lot and it gets chilly in the evenings. The travel agency warned us in advance that the Hilton Nuweiba Coral Resort is a very quiet place, for those who like to spend time on their own, for those who like intellectual recreation, so to speak - excursions. We were not disappointed, but if we wanted unbridled fun, then of course we would be bored.

This hotel has a beautiful area, unobtrusive service. If you want entertainment, then this is not the place for you. But, if you want to go to Israel or Jordan, then this hotel is perfect.

There were not many Russians in the hotel. The food was okay too. French fries, shawarma, burgers, pizza, soups. Well, you won't be hungry. Lots of salads.
The room was on the second floor, just renovated. A great. It’s better not to take it on the first floor, everyone constantly walks by and looks out the window.
The territory is good, the beach is excellent, the entrance to the sea is good, even slippers were not needed. There are few corals, but you can see different fish. You can take a walk and take pictures in a nearby hotel . .
If you go to Israel, it is better to go with Sinai Travel, we were convinced of this personally. A reliable and trusted company, there is a license, a polite and decent director Abdulla and his assistant Tatyana. It is better to buy icons on the local market, the quality is the same, but the price is several times less than in Israel. Israel is also unique in that upon returning from an excursion, going through customs back, be sure to go through duty free. Alcohol, cosmetics from the Dead Sea are cheaper there than in the hotel and on the Dead Sea itself.

We rested in Nuweiba for the first time, before that we were in both Sharm and Hurghada. I will say right away that Nuweiba is a great vacation from city life. If you want to relax in the modern world, then it is better to choose Sharm, as Nuweiba is beautiful with its pristine nature, peace and tranquility.

We rested in Nuweiba for the first time, before that we were in both Sharm and Hurghada. I will say right away that Nuweiba is a great vacation from city life. If you want to relax in the modern world, then it is better to choose Sharm, as Nuweiba is beautiful with its pristine nature, peace and tranquility. This was our goal of the trip to relax and merge with nature, surrounded by mountains and the sea. The hotel welcomed us warmly, the rooms were not very big, but neat and clean. The room had everything you need: shower, TV, refrigerator, telephone. From travel experience, as always, I left a dollar in the room for service and I always had clean towels and bed linen. We rested without children, with my wife. The rest took place in January and it was very cold for a couple of days. Since you can’t swim in the sea in cold weather, we went to Israel. After spending a couple of days on excursions to Jerusalem and Petra, we returned to the hotel and continued to enjoy the sea and relaxation. The weather has already improved, which was very wonderful)). The hotel restaurant did not disappoint, the food was enough. Eating strawberries in winter is a nice thing, especially in Egypt at this time the season and strawberries were very tasty. We also tasted guava (a fruit with a special taste). The kitchen was decent, sea food, though a rarity, but we were not particularly upset. We returned to the cold Motherland completely rested and with renewed vigor. Too bad the rest is so short. ((
