Holiday information for Safaga
Good afternoon, I'm going to Safaga in the middle of May. So far I have chosen the Shams safaga hotel.
Please tell us about the infrastructure. How to get from the hotel to the city of Safaga (minibus taxi fare level). Where to change money, does it make sense to change to the local currency or is it better to go with $. What is the best place to buy souvenirs? What is worth buying there? Never been to Egypt. As for excursions - what are the options (what did you like, what not, from whom did you take it - tour operator or on the street, price level). What street travel agencies are there and which are safe. Is it worth buying protective footwear at home or can you buy everything inexpensively there? Including fins. In general, I am interested in everything related to vacation, because. let's go for the first time.

Hello, I will answer you with great pleasure. This hotel was my discoverer of Egypt. Safaga is not a city, it's more of a village. There is nowhere to go for a walk. Hotels, hotels and hotels..hotel shops. The shops mainly sell souvenirs, spices, oils. I carried dollars with me, this hotel has an exchanger on the ground floor, you can change almost any currency for Egyptian money. I haven't used it, they take dollars everywhere. Zdacha is given in Egyptian pounds. Tours were taken from a tour operator. We flew with a mezzanine tour. Were on quad bikes, in a Bedouin village, a water park, sailing on a yacht with fishing and swimming in the open sea, a boat trip to the island ... there were many places and I liked it everywhere because for the first time! Shoes for the beach in this hotel will not be required, an excellent sandy sunset, it will be finely shallow for a long time and then a smooth depth and fish, fish, fish .. =)) If I missed something, ask, I'll tell you!

Every year we go to this hotel in winter, we have been to Egypt and others - this is the best one. Already the feeling of a native village. The hotel consists of a four-story building, it also has a disco and a restaurant and reception, and a couple of bars. There are worse numbers. It is better to choose rooms in bungalows. Each bungalow has 4 or 8 rooms. There are tennis, billiards and mini golf. There is a kids club. An excellent beach with a shallow entry, a couple of reefs with fish.
Safaga is a few hotels, shops, a pharmacy - and that's it. You don't need to get anywhere. If you want nightly entertainment - you need to go to Hurghada. I don’t know about the passage - I didn’t pull. Safaga is a place of the quietest rest. If you want to hang out - choose another city.
I am a supporter of buying excursions from a tour operator. Egypt is not suitable for risk. Take dollars - and do not bother with the local currency. Swimming shoes are not needed (rare) Masks for 12-15 dollars. I don’t know flippers. The best thing is to go to Cairo, for 10 years of trips I have been on almost all excursions, but in the current situation you are unlikely to go. I liked the boat with the underwater part. ATVs with Bedouins are not very good. It is better to buy souvenirs and other purchases at the airport upon departure. Really more, and better, and cheaper
