So, the period of our stay at the Novotel ended on March 15, the return flight - at 17-40 from Sharm on the same day, the tour operator is the well-known Joint Up.
So, chronologically.
After the announcement of the suspension of flights from Ukraine from March 17 on the evening of March 13, one plane did not fly to Sharm, therefore, there were tourists. The next morning, the lists of those leaving were removed from the board and there was a pause. Those who checked in early in the morning were unlucky - they had to sit at the reception until late in the evening, although some went to the beach, food was left for them.
On March 15, the lists of those leaving were no longer posted, the guide said that before lunch they would not take anyone out at all and that they had to approach him every two hours, because. the situation may change. At 10-00 we sent a messenger, there was no information, at lunchtime they approached - again nothing, although the senior manager who arrived mentioned that most likely we would be taken away on Tuesday, March 17th.

On the same day, we received a text message from Join that everyone is staying in their hotels and serviced rooms according to the voucher at the expense of the tour operator.
March 16 after lunch we were notified about moving to another hotel. Without describing unnecessary details - hotels of the same star rating and similar service. The principle is simple - Who did not leave on 14 - to the Blue Bay Oasis, on March 15 - to Rehanu, and on March 13 - I don’t remember the names. They settled everyone promptly, after dinner they waited for the guide and found on the online scoreboard Join 19 flights to Kyiv on March 17th. It became clear that we would fly away, the sequence was unknown. At about 10 pm everyone received messages from their travel agencies about the flight and departure time.
And then - everything was organized very clearly, without delays and fuss. Those who flew out after dinner (including us) received coupons for lunch.
At the airport, everything went very quickly, we were not photographed again, hand luggage was checked, and special analyzers checked for the presence of explosives.

When we went down to the waiting room, we saw 4 planes from Join, landing was announced more than an hour before departure. In Kyiv, after landing, two large cars drove up to the plane, the representatives who got out of them quickly measured everyone's temperature, promptly issued luggage - and then everyone went home
Conclusions from the experienced situation:
- the worst thing is uncertainty, which breeds panic. To the credit of our tourists, none of those around us panicked, but we observed a lot of recklessly sunbathing, swimming and eating;
- hotel guides did not have more information than any more or less experienced Internet user;
- do not be lazy to look at the online scoreboard of the airport and Joint;
- the main thing is to check with the hotel guide whether you are on the list of tourists at all. For example, we were not on the lists for relocation to another hotel. Two married couples were not on the flight lists, the manager from Join again appeared and directed them to the airport, where other managers helped them deal with the problem.

Feel free to make new acquaintances from fellow countrymen (and not only) at the hotel - in such a situation it is important to support each other even with a kind word or a joke.
And the last thing - after all the criticism against Join, we were pleasantly surprised by the prompt organization of our evacuation and its escort, unlike some tour operators who do not even notify their tourists about their prospects. Anex, for example, on March 15 still brought new tourists to rest.
Thank you all for your support and good wishes.
lazy_person, we are tanned and healthy, albeit a little tired after the road.
_370667, do not hesitate, everything will be fine with your relatives, just let them check the lists of tourists with the hotel guide (not only for departure).

Thanks for the information! Welcome back! How do people treat you? It's been 10 days since I returned. Everyone who rents neighboring offices shy away from me like fire. Many openly express dissatisfaction. Stones are not thrown yet :)

After returning, the most fun began.
On the way from the airport at night we stopped at a gas station to drink tea and coffee, a disgruntled saleswoman (without a mask) was rude to everyone.
At work, I was announced a two-week quarantine, threatened with a fine of more than 30 thousand if I come to work during these two weeks.
But the coolest thing is the question of the boss "Have you been processed?".
It seems that the brains of those who did not leave were processed.
C'mon, I'll wait 14 days, then I'll change jobs

I think that my quarantine will not be limited to two weeks, because the question about processing was asked for a reason.
There is an even cooler moment - I brought Egyptian creams and medicines to a friend at her request, called and realized from her tone that I would have to leave everything to myself (even though I don’t need medicines at all)

In Russia, they take out all tourists, organized and not, free of charge. And Nenko organizes export for huge money.

This whole situation is like a litmus test for testing people for "lice". I apologize for the rude expression, of course, but in fact it is. I determined the main thing for myself - to stay above the situation, and time will show who is who

Dear marinasimonova70!
I described our evacuation from Sharm and placed it here with the permission of the site administrators, since this does not belong to the "question-answer" section, but solely because of the relevance of the message.
On the issues of evacuation from Israel, I personally do not have any information, therefore I cannot comment on this topic. You'd better contact the social media administrator, just open a topic and discuss it separately. Thanks for understanding.
I note once again - our overpacked stay (2.5 days), meals (7 times + ice cream) and the return flight were paid by the tour operator Join Up, for which many thanks to them

Yes, we are not talking about Join! Join is engaged in its direct business - takes out its tourists. But the state behaves in a human way. It decided to peel off three skins from unorganized tourists.

vezha2, this situation has ALREADY checked all my friends and acquaintances for lice. Those who are most "rocked" by fear, in my face, who returned from Egypt, see the personification of the entire coronavirus of the Planet! It's time to advertise: "I destroy countries and continents with my presence." A vacuum formed around. We communicate with family members, while on Skype. The daughter tells how this situation is going on in the USA. Both she and her brother-in-law still commute to work. Everyone in the team is sympathetic to the situation, but they work behind closed doors of the bank through a special window. The son-in-law's restaurant provides targeted food delivery. There are no open assaults, screams and insults against others. There is a hysteria with toilet paper, diapers and ....... pads! They still cannot buy milk for their granddaughter. I can not understand why the hysteria with toilet paper has spread to the whole world? Yesterday, our people literally fought for her, and the audience filmed and posted it on YouTube.

I propose to create a party of those evacuated from Egypt, we will choose the chairman on this site.
I went to the supermarket in the morning, I was 18 at the entrance, put on a mask, rubber gloves - and go. The store has everything, including the infamous toilet paper. I calmly skimped, they paid attention to my chocolate physiognomy, but there were no excesses.

On account, be at home for 2 weeks ..
If the leader requires it and issues an order, no question ..
Downtime is paid as 2/3, and you do not need to quickly transfer the application at your own expense ..
Let them issue the order themselves, indicate the reasons for the downtime .. and the list of employees ..

So the fact of the matter is that I didn’t write any statement, there is no order either (I think so), the people have done so much (sorry, boiled) that they are afraid to come for a statement. The owner is a gentleman, he is among the first to be frightened and there is not even any talk of any payment. And I still dragged sweets for colleagues! You have to destroy yourself

Vezha2, while you were in Egypt, many people were worried about you. The main thing is that you returned and had time to relax! And what happened to you at work and V.Zolot with friends, this even has its advantages - you saw what your acquaintances really are. Everything in life is passing and your life will get better, just along the way you got rid of "rotten" people.

Wear rubber gloves according to various "wise" medical instructions. In life - I don’t wear gloves only in the summer, I have a lot of different densities and for any time of the year.

V.Zolot is well aware of whether she returned from Egypt 15 days ago. Well, the quarantine period has passed and calmed down a bit.
At work they asked if there were any Italians there. The benefit of their percentage is 3% of the total class, the probability that one of them was infected in general 0.00003%, the probability that I was with them closer than one and a half meters in total 0. However, people who went to work in a minibus, then in the subway, then transferred to the subway, then back to the minibus, which were indoors in mega close contact with hundreds of people. I go to work by car. Fortunately, the quarantine period has passed and I feel great, because due to mass psychosis and text messages from the Ministry of Health "recently you returned from a country where " already began to believe that I am a peddler. No, I do not underestimate the threat: I wear a mask and use antiseptics, antiseptics, by the way, always used and washed my hands a hundred times a day. But there is security, and there is already a guy
