Hi everyone!
We, a family of three, dad + mom + daughter 10 years old, beginner travelers. We started from Egypt, the Albatros Jungle Park 4 * hotel. We bought a ticket on July 28 for three, together with a fuel surcharge, paid 60 tr. (Example: the same family from Yaroslavl bought a ticket for 45 thousand rubles with a fuel surcharge, and a family from St. Petersburg paid 72 thousand rubles) Okay, I digress. we are ready to fly. We flew from Moscow (Domodedovo flight 15:30). The flight was not delayed and we took off on time and arrived on time. I filled out the migration cards at the airport for three quickly (without overpaying, since there were certain plans for finances))) . In general, Tez tour met at the exit of the airport, asked our names and said the number of our bus. In general, we reached the hotel very quickly and were there at 19:30 local time. for rooms from 1000 to 2000 they asked us for $100, we said no thanks. . we were given room 4170, we waited five minutes until 5 families were settled, my husband took $20 and we got our wonderful room 2207. Everything was fine in the room, nothing is broken, clean and tidy (I won’t talk about it anymore, because everything was wonderful there and then cleaning + 1 dollar and changing linen and towels). I really liked the hotel area, it was clean, the grass was constantly watered, they cleaned around the pool . I think that in five years this hotel will have a real jungle, since there is a lot of greenery, but the trees are still young. Everything was fine in the restaurants, neither my husband nor my daughter were hungry, there was enough of everything, the only sweet table they are too sweet))). In the room we took fruit.
It was just wonderful in the water park, my daughter and dad disappeared there for 4 hours, I got tired and then went to rest by the pool.

From the Tez tour, we took excursions to the Morning Safari, a trip to a paradise island and a trip to Hurghada. I liked everything very much.
A lot of impressions from the city itself... you won’t see this in every movie. Poverty next to wealth... The city is still very young. country can not be compared... The guide said that they have a two-room apartment costs 26 thousand dollars, and the salary of a teacher at school is 80 dollars, the salary of cleaners in our rooms is 100 dollars, they live outside the hotel, the food is very poor. 95 gasoline 3 liters per dollar))) we have a liter per dollar.
In the hotel (near the water park) and in the spa, braids are woven, you can bargain for a price, they cost $ 80 to completely braid the whole head, but you can bargain up to 50, the half of the head is from 30 to 40 dollars. The downside was that I bargained for the child to braid half the head for $ 30, the husband did not know and gave them $ 40. when I came up and asked for the extra 10 USD to be returned. since we agreed with you from 30, they made me big eyes and said, they say your husband gave us 30 and we don’t owe you anything... they braided the child’s pigtails, but I didn’t go there anymore . . there was a vile sediment... in Basically it's my own fault. . .
Otherwise, I’ll say that everything was wonderful. The only thing we learned was that regular buses run to the city from Senzo Mall, back and forth per person 5 pounds... we wanted to take a walk in the city, but we didn’t dare, but we found out about these flights the day before departure, when almost all the finances were spent on gifts for themselves and their families.

From food, my stomach did not like figs, from which I had to drink coal and enterasgel, but it was a couple of moments, and so, we were not going to go on vacation and get sick there, on the morning of the second day of my stay I gave activated carbon to my people, and then for the first aid kit we forgot. From the food there were shrimp (not salted of course and in sauce), squids in batter and in salads, french fries, fried potatoes in circles, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes in foil. Twice a week they fried lamb, partridge and fish on coals ( in front of the restaurants). We didn’t really like the pizza, but we liked the soups for lunch. Each restaurant also had a diet table, if food with spices bothered you, you could take it there.
Since I am a blonde and it seems not old and not scary, at the end of the rest I was tired of compliments and they constantly wanted to hold me by the handle, the phrase Are you from? I just got it. And they always smile at you, and you shouldn’t be a beech either... And therefore, having returned to rainy Moscow, I thought better of it, and why we are all so sad and serious and no one will say Good morning or just Hello to a stranger.
We miss Egypt very much, for a wonderful hotel, we understand that our travels are just beginning, and perhaps we will not go to Egypt soon now, because we want to visit Europe or go to China.
Good luck to everyone who is going to Egypt, and especially to the wonderful Jungle. It's great with children there !!! !
