We went to Egypt with the whole family for the first time. I am pregnant (on the 7th month), husband and son 2 years 9 months. Everyone is absolutely delighted! I didn’t want to leave, I still flip through the pictures and want to go back. And I will definitely be back, already with two children)))
We arrived in the evening, read about a divorce for $ 17, told my husband, paid 15, no one forced me to pay 17. In general, to breed a tourist for money is the main motto of Egypt. It was very mentally stressful. It seems that you brought down the price three times, but you see the satisfied face of the seller and you understand that you overpaid anyway !!! ! Banal example. Wanted to buy juice. They themselves are from a third world country and made the assumption that in two third world countries a packaged juice should cost a maximum of $ 1.5. We leave the territory of the hotel. What do you think, 5$! Bargaining begins, the seller's arguments that they say, the desert, there are problems with water in general... As a result, $ 2. Okay, let.
1. We meet the same seller in a store on the territory of the hotel with our goods (juice for $ 3! ).
2. When you decide to go to the Senzo moll shopping center (10 minutes by taxi, do not agree to more than 10 pounds), this is a shopping center, i. e. an ordinary store, with groceries, boutiques. Juice is still $1! This I only mean that no one can be trusted there (this makes it both funny and a little stressful! )
So we arrived in the dark. The first question is: "Will we be grateful that we will be placed in a good room? ". Gave 15$. The floor was chosen (1st floor), building 5000. From the window, a view of the pool with a fountain. The child was very happy! The luggage peddler got a $1 tip and snorted very hard (there are people going crazy there from the money of tourists! )
Morning. First look at the hotel in daylight. Everything is as in the photo (I mean beautiful photos! ) The territory is large, green, well-groomed, a sea of flowers, 3 pools, bars, well, in general, everything is as promised. There was a review about watering flowers with poop. Yes, there is such a thing. At some specific time (once a day) the smell changed, but it didn't stink much, and what's the point of standing there, sniffing. . . Beauty requires sacrifice. The playground is healthy. I took my child to the kids club a couple of times, he really liked it. I don't understand the complaint that children are looked after badly there. There are children, firstly, from three years old, i. e. it is assumed that snot and poop behind them do not need to be wiped. And if you do not want the child to climb somewhere or go somewhere, then clearly warn. Well, the child needs to be explained that they say be near this aunt, if you want to see your mother, tell her. If the child does not understand this yet, then maybe you should not leave him there alone.
Lagoon. . . !! ! I liked getting up at 6 in the morning and running with the child to swim in the lagoon. Silence, beauty! Mandatory bypass of bridges, descent to the sea, looking out for fish... Super!
Regarding the cleanliness of the lagoon. . . Yes, a bit dirty. Both tourists and those who still do not clean it are to blame!
Speaking of tourists. . . We have already written about the forbidden feeding of fish, and it is really unpleasant to see how a bun, an egg is crumbled into the lagoon in order to see the fish. You can see a lot without these shamanic actions. But there is even worse. I witnessed how a father and daughter stand. The daughter joyfully throws oranges with a peel into the lagoon with the words “let the fish eat”, and dad, smiling gently, strokes his daughter on the head and breathes “let me be so kind! ”. And when you hint "maybe it's not worth it? Huh? " They get very offended, and I start throwing even more oranges.
About the water temperature. Yes, the lagoon is colder than the pool, but not much different from the one in the sea. When it's hot, it doesn't matter where you swim, and when it's cold, you don't even want to go into the pool.
Nutrition. I understand that one can complain that there are no toothpicks on the table, that sometimes the food is not very neat, the tables are not always cleaned on time. I (I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart) didn't care at all. So many zhrachki, very tasty, varied. Maybe someone went in winter, there was less variety, perhaps due to the fact that it was winter, and in winter there were fewer fruits and vegetables... I rolled out of this restaurant for the first days. Then my husband and I told each other stop! and put yourself on a diet. For porridge with coconut flakes, desserts, pastries, puree soup, I wanted the chef to personally shake hands. I don't know how to cook! And in the reviews they complain so much that they say it’s not varied, it’s not tasty... Aha! I saw those burning eyes of Russians who don’t see anything around them, I collect 15 plates of food with a slide, they rush without observing the queues, ready to crawl under your elbow to grab a huge piece of cake, always with strawberries, and behind a bowl of tomatoes in general head walk... and then for some reason they grumble that it's bad! Craftiness!
The only thing with which the trouble is with soft drinks. Juices there are really divorced yuppi. Water is always available (a bottle of water in the room every day for free! ), and mineral. And so... cola, fanta, sprite pregnant is not desirable, the child is not desirable.
But teas... I always made myself black with cinnamon and milk or mint. Yummy)))
I no longer had the strength to eat snacks like a grill bar, you will forgive me, although I could not refuse pizza))) It is also very tasty. The child after sleep received ice cream! Great!
I couldn’t go to the water park, neither did the child, so when the child was sleeping, my husband went. I was satisfied, I pulled him out of there by force a couple of times)
About the number. The 1st day was not cleaned (cleaning must be done before 18.00). We immediately went to our guide, complained, cleaned everything, made a swan. If something was not reported to us, not completed, we told the guide and asked that they bring it to us. Swans were made for only $1. It didn’t matter to us, so the buck was not left regularly, just for the sake of decency. To be honest, they only came to the room to sleep at night. Walked up, bathed, well-fed and happy, they fell on the bed and slept. Therefore, we did not care about the swans. Chitsy towels, napkins, toilet paper, soap and a bottle of water were always. We didn't need anything else.
Animation. . . Heh, I don't even know. We didn’t have time for animation, a lot of our own things. Often invited to various games, dances. People danced in the water and on the beach. In the evenings, children's disco at 20.00. The child always asked for it and after 5 minutes fell asleep, then the parents began to fall asleep and we left without watching the evening show. Well, it seems that the guys tried, ran, did something, although the people around grumbled that they had seen better. Honestly I do not know. We just had a different program.
Tours. From the very beginning we were warned to take excursions only from our guides, they are not responsible for the rest. My husband and I reasoned that we took long-distance excursions, such as Cairo, Luxor, with our guide. It was important for us to guarantee a good bus, a safe transfer. But a safari, a paradise island - we did not take it from a guide. We went to Hurghada on our own. There is nothing to see there. You can only spend money on gifts. No history of the city, no beautiful places. There is an old city. We have not been there, maybe there is something to see, but then you have to spend money on the road. Because a taxi or a bus from the hotel brings you and leaves you for 2-3 hours. During this time, you can grab another taxi, get to the old city, see something and come back and you may not have time. And ordering a separate tour. . . It seems to me that this is not the most interesting thing in Egypt. Although many praised the night parties, but again, this is not our story. Cairo, Luxor - it's just fantastic. If you came for the first time or not the first, but were not on a historical excursion, people, be sure to visit at least one historical excursion! Then you can say that you have been to Egypt, because the beach and even the Red Sea are definitely not Egypt.
Sea. . . Paradise island! Definitely. You swim with a mask, you see enough fish, you swim, you sunbathe, you dig into the sand (there is no such amount of sand in the lagoon), you ride on a yacht. Great!
Desert. Safari. The tour did not disappoint me, the Arabian desert disappointed me (((I was waiting for velvet sand dunes, but everything is much more prosaic, a little dirty, rocky land. Although riding different animals, buggies, ATVs (my husband rode ATVs, they didn’t let me and my child) The child liked the sea of impressions! In the evening we looked at the moon through a telescope. . . Sunset in the desert. . . Romance)))
I also went surfing with my husband. It's also a lot of fun, especially if you've never experienced it before.
And of course, I will not remain silent about the "state store" !!!! ! People, he is not a state. This is a divorce. Oils, perfumes are great, but the prices are high there, bargaining is practically not appropriate. Although, I can’t name you a specific store or shop, for example, at the amir’s, and I can’t say that it’s high quality and cheap, because there’s a divorce everywhere and everywhere. In the "state" it is definitely a scam for money, and if so, then it is possible that they are lying about the quality. You will pay less in stalls, long songs will be sung to you about quality, believe it or not - it's up to you.
All. I hope it won't be boring to read. Like I said, I want to go back!
