We had great rest
Such a long-awaited vacation. . . Tickets on hand, Covid test negative, suitcases packed. . . Let's go!
Oops! The flight was rescheduled for the evening. . . Not good. One evening dress flies out and the settlement is around one in the morning : ( Well, there are still 6 days left!
Morning, 9:00, meeting with the guide. . . Oops! Forgot to set the clock back an hour. Only 8:00 local time. It was possible to sleep for another hour, but oh well, let's go to breakfast. Everyone is smiling )) Nice ))
Meeting the guide. . . Hmm. . . It turns out that some Egyptians are also Jews. We didn’t have any luck with the guide Ahmet : ( But we realized this a little later. We signed up for an excursion to Cairo, on a yacht and a sightseeing tour. For everything we paid $ 418 for two. The guide forgot to say that permission to Cairo is +10 dollars and a commission when paying +8 dollars and +10 dollars in his pocket for cigarettes (although in our case, rather for Viagra) Also, the guide mixed up the time on the road to Cairo, for some reason he dreamed that it would take 4 hours to go there, instead of real 9 !! ! you will need to take a shuttle bus, that is, the seats do not recline, you can’t stretch your legs, sit in the letter “Su” all 9 hours!
On the bus, the smart guide Mahmut entertained and distracted us as best he could. He told a lot of interesting things all the way, like the fairy tales of Scheherazade. Where you can, where it’s better not to meddle, where it’s better to go shopping, where to ride camels. . . In general, I worked 100%!
We were given lunch boxes on the road, "brakes", in our opinion. Two small buns, juice, an apple and a 0.5 liter bottle of water. It's at 9 o'clock!! ! Upon arrival, of course, we expressed our bewilderment about this. After all, we have all inclusive, and we missed lunch, dinner, breakfast, lunch and dinner (we went with an overnight stay for 2 days) And all we got was two small buns! The hotel manager took into account our indignation, gave us a large plate of fruit in the room and led the chef by the hand. It’s a pity that he didn’t know Russian, and I don’t speak English well, I would tell him why rubyroid is in Kyiv... Well, okay, we exchanged phone numbers, began to chat)))) On the way back, we already assembled another “brake” ". 8 (! ) large buns with meat and cheese, a separate bag of fruit))) Nice!!!
In Cairo, we saw another world: dirt, dust, poverty, horror. . . We still have nothing, it turns out )) We were put up in the Grand Pyramid 3 * hotel. Next to the highway. It feels like you are sleeping with the vacuum cleaner on. It's good that you stocked up on earplugs))) There are plastic disposable cutlery in the canteen. Shock!! ! While I was having dinner, I broke two forks : ) However, the staff smiles))) A friend's button came off, they asked for a needle and thread. They brought 5 meters of thread and a rusty needle. Funny! : )
Let's go to the museum with sarcophagi and stone statues. Interesting, but the energy is like in a cemetery. I constantly wanted to run away. But courageously examined everything, in the photo I captured some moments as a keepsake. Next were the pyramids and the Sphinx. And of course a camel)))) Oh, you should try it at least once in your life! We looked at the tombs of some engineers that the pyramids were built - boring...
We bargained in the market, bought some souvenirs. We had fun with the sellers))) They definitely remembered us)))
Then the road home with a stop for food. This time we were fed sooo densely and tasty. At the restaurant. Portions are huge! There was enough for the whole journey, just drink some water... We arrived at the hotel after midnight, a "snack" was waiting for us in the room. Well, take care, okay))
In the morning we slept well, went to the sea. Bomb beach! Swimming is great even without corals. If you want just swim, if you want with a mask. There are not many people, no one gets out on their heads. After the sea went to the pool. There the animators staged water aerobics. It was fun)) My friend sprained her shoulder : ( We went to the pharmacy to buy an ointment, in the end we stocked up for the whole family. I had to buy another suitcase to stuff everything in there. Well, oils, of course! A lot!! ! : )
There are no discos in the hotel, I had to go with animators to Naama Bay. We met a couple of Egyptians, had fun ))) They offered a night of love ))) Refused )))
The next day we sailed on a yacht. Met another great guide, sorry it's late. We looked at the underwater world, Egyptian landscapes and relaxed in the shade. Loved it!
The air conditioner in the room smoked, on the clock around 11 pm. Called the receptionist. Half an hour later they came and fixed it. The tap broke - they called the reception - they came, rewound it with a string)))
By the end of the holiday at the reception they already knew our room number and us by sight)))) They were very happy when we left, although they tried not to show it; ) Our guide Akhmet was especially delighted : ) And why we constantly had the impression that he is Jewish?
The way home - control at the airport. . . a friend was invited to marry three times, they forgot to look through the bags, in the end we managed to smuggle water and something else ; ) The main thing is smile and wave! )))
Summary. The rest turned out to be very active and interesting, it was fun and cool. I want more : ))
