In general, we are in Hurghada for the first time. We arrived an hour late, thanks to SkyUP. We had a massive check-in at the hotel. Everyone was gathered in one room and everything was explained to everyone together and they were given cards from the rooms. (Perhaps self-registration is +, there you can agree on rooms, well, not bad anyway). 40 minutes and we are already going to our rooms. Oh yes, I forgot to mention, you only wear masks at airports, only the administration on the bus and hotel. The Egyptians don't really follow the rules either, so the transfer bus was full)).
The first impression of the room. . . Well. . . Such a thing. The repair is old, thanks to the fact that nothing was hanging in our 2 rooms. Faucets, washbasins, toilet bowls, etc. Minus, these are sanitizers with soap instead of gels and shampoos, although people from neighboring buildings said that they had everything. Strange... The air conditioners worked (+ -) well and thanks for that)). Food... What can I say, everything is like everywhere else, though they pour as much as you ask through a plastic partition. There was meat every day, there are many bars and cafes on the territory of the hotel. You can fill your mouth all day with fries and burgers, waffles with chocolate and ice cream from 12 to 15)). What our children used. For adults, for alcohol, as in all of Egypt, you can only drink beer, gin and rum, the rest is for everyone). Cocktails and drinks for children from different UPI-like powders, what a joy. Children were showered on the third day and we forbade drinking these miracle juices, it’s better to have cola and sprite.
And now the most important thing is why all the tourists came to Egypt - a sailor)).

The sea in the bay is full - G. Well, honestly... Dirty, sharp sand, and sharp shells. Corals will not save you, believe me. True, there is a pier to the left of the bay, there is sand, though you will have to go down the iron stairs and you can still cut yourself there, be careful. There are even live corals and some kind of flora and fauna). Snorkelers have something to see, I myself saw a meter-long turtle near the corals. Yes, a warning, if it is very stormy and you and your children then hold them tight, they can throw them on corals, and this is not pleasant. Next I will explain why. In general, by sea, everything, the second time I will not go here for any gingerbread).
And now back to the carrals, during the storm my son skidded onto the coral, where he cut his leg, so be careful parents. And as for the medical care in the hotel, they are 100% professionals in their field. They did everything at the highest level, thank you very much, but Join UP with your insurances - go to hell. Insurance from the tour operator is not valid on the territory of the hotel, and let them not tell you fairy tales, not a single number answers, I only managed to contact the insurance through the application on the 3rd day, where I was "promised" to compensate for the costs if possible. Oh yes. . . The first medical aid in the hotel is free, well, it was like that for us. Further, at a price of $ 20, two dressings, not counting the first on the "ball". According to the insurance, who is not aware, the activation of insurance is $ 30, regardless of the case.
So, this is about the sad, and now about the good. The Egyptians in Hurghada are very friendly and good people, but they also have cockroaches like everyone else, they are just at work and it’s not necessary to be rude, otherwise they will ignore you until the end of the holiday and you won’t prove anything to anyone.
I forgot to say. . . Don't listen to guides about insurance for boats or safari. Each safari company, there are only 3 of them, and they are next to each other, they have licenses, etc. Karabliki is similar, and the guides, taking advantage of our confusion, raise prices by 40% more)) True, do not pay anyone money in advance, ok.
There is also a small negative, almost all the tourists from our plane experienced some kind of stomach discomfort on the third or fourth day, including me. I sin on water, although something with food is possible.
Have a good rest everyone.
