The tour was bought from Pegasus, it turned out for 8 days for two, a regular room and just All inc. $1150 This is not the first time in Egypt, so there is something to compare with.

1. Territory 4, location 5, rooms 3

The hotel is located 15 minutes from the airport and 20 minutes from the city. Fully meets its 4 stars for Egypt, the first line, the territory is not huge, but there is where to wander. A lot of greenery, palm trees and flowers. Clean, tidy, very comfortable and quiet. Buildings 3-storey. We lived in room 1124 overlooking the main building, the pool and even the sea was visible. They did not give money for the settlement. An ant was seen in the room once (for the picky). The rooms themselves are a bit old. In some places the paint peeled off the doors and windows, somewhere a small hole in the curtains, a yellow drip in the shower. But in general, these shortcomings did not spoil our mood. On the territory of the hotel there are shops with hospitable and unobtrusive Arabs. Prices in these stores are about the same as in the city. Magnets 0.
8 - 2 dollars, t-shirts 7-10 dollars. , scarves 10-16 dollars. , mugs 3-8 dollars. etc.

Attention, construction work is underway on the territory of the hotel (it is almost not noticeable, but sometimes the noise of the grinder was annoying)

2. Entertainment 5
Tennis courts in the hotel are free. There is archery. Horseback riding is chargeable. Own disco, which is open every day, admission and drinks are free there, just come! : ) there was even a foam party! liked it very much! The animation is normal, not imposing, every day exercises, aqua aerobics, boccia, volleyball, shows in the amphitheater.

3. Sea 5+
The best sea in the world! The water temperature is +28, the beach is open until sunset. The beach is clean, fine sand, there are corals, there are a lot of fish, masks, snorkels and flippers for hire until 17-00, the water is of course very clean, no Mediterranean Sea can be compared! Entry into the sea is smooth, up to a depth of 5 meters from the shore.
There are no water motos (maybe someone is interested in this question), there are windsurfing, kitesurfing, boats for rent with a driver and a lot of water excursions! For those who like to take sunbeds at 6 in the morning: you don’t need to do this here, there are a lot of them and enough for everyone. But if you still want to lie right next to the sea - take a place under an umbrella in the evening : ) everyone did it there - they tied a scarf or a shirt around an umbrella (a wooden pole covered with palm branches). Large swimming pool, with a depth of up to 2.30 m.

4. Weather 5

Not a cloud! Light sea breeze and dry warm air, we were afraid that it would be hot - it was great! In Ukraine, +35 in the city is worse than in Egypt +40! and in Turkey, it’s generally +30 - there’s nothing to breathe, the humidity is crazy, the towel doesn’t dry out overnight, you walk around wet all day with sweat on your forehead! it was hot in Egypt when we went to Luxor, +40 in Karnak Temple and +50 in the Valley of the Kings. But we did not regret that we went - we love historical places, especially in Egypt.
Many advise not to go down to the tombs, they say it is very stuffy there, it is not so. There are those in which, on the contrary, you can rest, it is cool there. It is very beautiful inside and being there and not seeing it is a pity. But of course, for lovers of excursions, it is better to choose not such hot months. By the way, the tour cost us $90. for a person. Borrowed from a tour operator. We traveled by bus for 4 hours.

5. Food 5
Lots of food and all kinds of food. Nothing happened for a week. Sea sweets, fruits: watermelons, melons, guava, oranges, grapefruits, lots of bananas, apples, dates of course. Lots of sheep too. There is a lot of meat, a lot of fish, and even boiled crabs were given. There is also dietary food (boiled rice, cereal for breakfast, etc. )

In general, the hotel left a good impression, more like not a hotel, but a boarding house. Rest here is calm, there are many couples and families with small children, there are few young people. The people are mostly Russians and many Arabs, there were also French, Germans and Dutch.
Here we rested from the city problems and fuss. In general, the holiday LIKE! ! !
