For some reason, any review of Egyptian hotels begins with ratings of restaurants, service and other things, but does not affect the main thing for which it is worth going to this country: which sea is next to the hotel? Indulge in excesses - this is for you in Turkey, where it will be provided at the highest level, and the main wealth of Egypt is the Red Sea, its corals and fish. I want to fill this gap.
The richness of the sea in the Hurghada area cannot be compared with the reefs of Sharm, but here you can find something interesting. Opposite the hotel is one of the best local reefs, covered with live corals and inhabited by many different small fish. There are no large fish, but all kinds of butterflies, boxfish, parrots, lionfish are found. The disadvantage is that it is necessary to swim to it from the pontoon (50 meters) carefully because of sometimes passing motor boats.
The beach is excellent, spacious, divided into areas for swimming. The first case when I didn’t have to take a seat in the morning)))

Another great feature is that the beach has horses for hire from the local equestrian club. Crazy gallop through the desert on 4-5 year old Arabian stallions - connoisseurs will appreciate it! the rest can drive through the desert at a walk, this is also interesting.
Impressions about the hotel itself are contradictory. Perfectly located spacious bungalows, like all their interior "decoration" - the same age as the pyramids, but everything is clean, tidy and works, although you feel like in an antique shop. Disadvantages: food for a solid "two" - I'm not picky about food, but when in a week they gave meat once (once, not one day! ) And once chicken, it's too much... At the same time, excellent sweets, jelly and mousses every day. They settled as soon as we arrived, and it was 5-30 in the morning, but they were wildly rude when leaving...
The main thing, after all, is that there is a feeling of a good rest, and troubles will be forgotten.
If anyone is interested in riding in the desert, I will be happy to share my experience, there are several features.
