We rested in the Sphinx with my mother, this is her first trip to Egypt. I really wanted her to have a good impression of the hotel and the country. I also rested in the Sphinx for the first time. When choosing a hotel in a travel agency, I looked at the location (closer to the center), which would be on the first line, a small cozy hotel with beautiful territory, not lower than 4 and at an affordable price. The Sphinx came up in all respects. After reading the reviews about a large number of locals, I adjusted myself, but there are enough of them in many hotels, and choosing a hotel focused on Europeans is not affordable. Standard double room, in general, not bad, water was brought every day, towels and linen were changed every three days. Beautiful territory, well-groomed, a lot of greenery, with an ancient Egyptian theme, very beautiful, there are monkeys. A good bonus - you can use the territory of the neighboring hotel King here, as well as the beach and restaurants. Yes, there are a lot of people, but there was enough space for everyone, a lot of local people, some did not behave very nicely, but we tried not to pay attention - "local color". It's good that the main restaurant, European people. appearances were allowed half an hour earlier. It certainly made life easier, there was no need to stand in line. In terms of nutrition, everything is modest, but there is a choice, many different side dishes, pastries. There are few fruits. Soups are so-so, juices are about nothing, as soluble. The coffee from the coffee machine is normal, we did not drink alcohol. Dinner is better than lunch. In general, not bad, although there is something to strive for. Sea. It is wonderful. . . It is always beautiful at any time of the year, and in June it is very warm. You can swim from the shore and from the pier. There is something to see, fish, crabs, a lot of hedgehogs, it is better to use coral slippers for your own safety. I had aqua shoes, they bought my mother from local merchants, in a shop opposite the hotel, for 4 ye. We also liked walking around Hurghada in the evening, but what to do in the evenings? We were not particularly interested in animation, but we wanted to see the city. The hotel can be said to be located in the center of Hurghada. In the evening the heat drops to a very comfortable temperature, pleasant atmosphere and safe. Within walking distance of the Marina embankment, slowly 20-25 minutes. Everywhere along the promenade there are many cafes and various shops, they bought souvenirs there, you need to bargain, they are almost half the price. There is wi-fi, it's free, it catches normally, even got it on the beach. There is animation in the hotel, although we did not participate, we only watched from the side, but it is clear that vacationers like it. Active in the morning, entertained in the evenings. Programs in general are all standard. There are no complaints about the staff, mostly normal guys, there were a couple of guys with disgruntled faces, but this is something that doesn’t happen to anyone)) In general, rest
