Winter 2010 in Novosibirsk was fierce. Therefore, the question was to rest urgently, for a long time, inexpensively and warmly. Given the composition of the group (father, mother and two bedbugs at 3 and 1 years old), we selected a direct flight from Novosibirsk. And that means Egypt. Having found in the Triton online catalog, we were amazed at the density of green spaces, which, as far as I understand, are of great value in Hurghada. This turned out to be the main argument in his favor. The S7 flight was quite professional, except for the flight delay of 8 hours (which was warned about). True, when we boarded the plane and stuffed our bags, we were offered to leave it. Aircraft replacement. I had to walk for 2 hours. Is this good or bad? They might not have found the joint. Truth? At the same time, it should be noted that upon arrival there were no delays or misunderstandings. I paid extra $ 2 for a visa and received already filled cards. And no queue. We got to the hotel around 10 am. Check-in at 14-00. But! $20 is not just a piece of paper. This is a large room on the 2nd floor with a balcony in flowers, 2 beds and a baby bed in a quiet location and IMMEDIATELY. Don't press. And then here are the four comrades in a tiny huddled.
Now the key points.
Number.
In general, the son walked around the balcony and said that this is now our dacha. That's what they decided on. The room has large wardrobes, a free safe. A TV receiver (not in demand), a refrigerator (it helped a lot in storing all kinds of fruits that were bought every day for a penny 500 meters up the street), air conditioning (understands on and off commands but cools). Shower (does not understand the commands, it pours either boiling water or a key one. They bought a basin for 7 pounds to wash the children, and that was how they escaped). He demanded a plumber. They twisted and changed. The soul did not come to life. Everything else is fine.
Dining room.
The shortest buffet ever. But, at the same time, no fox poison and other national colors. Quite European food. There are always salad spares, rice, fish, excellent beef and poultry. Olives are rubbish, but they look beautiful in a glass of whiskey. Fresh is 12 pounds. Served in the morning. Breakfast - like everywhere else and better. Milk, buns, butter, jam, breakfast cereals, eggs, scrambled eggs, pancakes, vegetables.... coffee(nasty). Lunch - soup, grilled from time to time, always a lot of meat and vegetables. Dinner is like lunch, but better. than - I do not know, but better. In general, the food is tasty, practically does not contain animal fats, so it does not cause heaviness, if you do not try to eat right now and a month in advance, as some vacationers like. They never stopped me with a plate at the exit, because firstly, I always returned them washed, and secondly, they ate supper in turn, since the children passed out at 5 pm, and woke up at 4 am with hungry eyes. How can you not steal grub for them? But within reason and with a smile on a stern face.
Knowing the habits of the Hungriest Tourists, it is better to eat half an hour after the start. Then everything will be fine and without a queue. By the way. The Hungriest are EVERYWHERE. Especially in Turkey. Metabolism, you know, works in turbo mode for some.
Immediately for the record they give out free water up to 4 bottles in one hand.
Glade and playground.
Having eaten and loaded with cups of coffee, it was possible to roll out into the fresh air, sit on wicker chairs under the palm trees, placed right on the lawn, and let the little ones rush along the grass, stretch out their legs and calmly smoke. There are swings nearby. In general, you can spend about an hour in peace and simple joys. You can also drag yourself there from the beach and dry your underpants with a satisfied look. In the evening there, uncle abbu karaokes different softly. Good in general.
Swimming pool.
The older child either swam in the children's pool or said that he wanted to swim in the children's pool. Nothing else worried him. Even the sea. Warm clear water. But with bleach, of course. People occupied places in advance, but we had no time to wallow, so there was always a piece of a sunbed to sit on while the guy was swimming.
Beach.
Coarse sand, turning into small pebbles. The entrance to the sea is paved with angular stones. There is a paved path to the left, but traffic jams happen on it. In 3 days, you completely get used to the slight pain and calmly enter where you want.
We bought a small funny puffball. 3-4 times a day for half an hour went swimming. Lying on the beach in our case is impossible. The children. There are various muck splashing near the shore. Glasses, beautiful bags. . . toothpicks. . . It's strange to blame the hotel for this. Especially since they catch it in the morning... I took a free mattress, scared away those who wanted to convey it (some big men enjoyed the free service of solemn diarrhea of mattresses after the master), threw it right by the water and it was good. Towels were bought on the very first trip to the city in the Karkusha store promoted on youtube. Good. On the beach they give out such translucent striped combat towels. Better yours. If you go to the breakwater early-early, then in the morning soft light you can see the bottom at great depths. Showed the fish to my son. Whole flocks. Fed. Fish fights were observed. Somehow a big beautiful ship sailed... He dumped fuel oil into our sea. Of course the kids got in. The things were ruined. But you should have looked better. After about a day or two, the calm alternated with winds. And then it was clear that these are two different seas. Of course, children are better without wind.
Bar. Pizzeria.
At 10 am, a beach cafe opens, where you can move after having a swim. Tea, coffee, water. At 12, they start making pizza, burgers, and so on from the leftovers of breakfast. Everything is free. So, if you are tired of healthy food, then you can go there for lunch.
Sheds, WC and Wi-Fi are again there. On the other side of the beach there is some under a canopy. Everything is in bottles and for money. Didn't get the meaning.
In addition, there is an evening bar OASIS. He was far from us, all the evening activity took place there, including Aramzamzamy. And good. Once they sat there tightly, when they met a friend, and that's all. I bought alcohol in duty free (you can visit no later than 48 hours after arrival, located in the Sinbad area, drive 10 minutes. Taxi with a wait in both directions 50 pounds. Bacardi 22 dollars per liter, marlboro - 19 per block) I don’t regret anything, because Rum-Cola from Bacardi is not quite the same as from the Egyptian solution. And duty-free cigarettes of good quality.
Governing body.
Russian administrators do not understand. But Russinglish, drawings on napkins and angry gestures help in communication. They also change dollars at 5.2. In, a nearby hotel at 5.1. I met a good rate only in a new city in the national bank. 5.5. Count yourself. Passports are collected upon arrival. Then everyone with square eyes comes running to receive them, because the boy grabs your suitcase so cheerfully and runs to accommodate you that no one in the bustle notices that they did not return the document. Returned at 17:00 on the day of arrival. Lunch boxes are provided for early departures.
Neighborhood.
To the right, across the construction site is an aquarium. Admission is $2 child and $3 adult. Beautiful. There is nothing to the left. (Hotels and expensive cafes). Directly up is the second tritone. From there people go to the beach and eat. Ours is also fed there, but everyone comes from there. In addition to expensive Internet, there is nothing there (15 pounds for 30 minutes of a bare browser at low speed). In general, this street has everything you need. Pharmacy, markets, internet cafes (3 pounds per hour! ), fruit shops. local cellular offices (immediately replaced SIM cards) and so on. A couple of times raked out in the McDonald's area. We bought some souvenirs. We got to the El Mina fish restaurant (complex emotions. Rather no than yes). In general, with a combat carriage and a senior on his shoulders, dad dutifully plowed Hurgadovka in search of sensations. People made complex faces - how can you do it with children... You can. No one said that physical activity on vacation is unacceptable. Ride on the Aquascope. We got to the paradise island. Children received air, sea, sun, sand, and beautiful fish. Burnt and strengthened. And all the fluff has gone. So they went in vain.
Disadvantages.
Shower. Mosquitoes in the room (takes only local fumitox. Ours does not take). Small and sometimes dirty beach. Some tourists. All.
Advantages.
Plentiful table, well-groomed green area. Silence. Many wrote about the Arabs. Have not seen. Rather saw 2 young couples. But they were so preoccupied with themselves that it was like they didn't even exist.
In general, I usually rest in 4 *. Here met no less advantages. No luxury, but overall decent. Like a good family cottage.
