Hello! . We rested at the Nubia Aqua Beach Resort 5 * from June 16 to June 23.2018. The flight was successful, the plane flew like a bird. Egyptian stewards and stewardesses were extremely polite. Rest with us for the first time, so the impressions are strong. You get off the plane, you get into the steam room, but you breathe surprisingly easily. Looking ahead, I’ll say that I often get colds (my throat hurts endlessly) - and so, this week I forgot at all that there are diseases like colds. I remembered them only at home when I arrived. We were actively met by representatives from the JunAp company - they actively invited us with a sign - it is impossible to get lost. But, attention: the SIM card, which I bought at the ORANGE airport for $ 6, did not work upon arrival at the hotel, I had to buy it from the guide the next morning for $ 10. On the way to the hotel, the guide told about local sights, traditions, etc. with a touch of humor. Everything is very easy, the story is light, the humor is laid-back, harmless). Already nice. We were taken to the hotel to the reception and delivered almost by the hand. We were placed in a room with a view of the building. We wanted to exchange, the reception agreed, but asked for an extra charge. We spent the night and realized that everything was gorgeous, the view from the hotel did not interest us at all, because. At the hotel we only slept and changed. The rest of the time - the sea, lunches, dinners, excursions, etc. The main thing in the room was everything - hair dryer, air conditioning, TV, coffee, tea, kettle, water 2 bottles. , shower cubicle. The air conditioner was dripping somewhere, we asked the staff to look - they reacted instantly and fixed everything. About the service by the hotel staff in the restaurant - only the best that can be said at all - everyone is polite, you are greeted as if you are the best guest in the world, as if they were just waiting for you - they greet you in English, Russian, Ukrainian - they immediately clean everything, served - positive mood top class! Many thanks to the boys who are at the counter, who clear the dishes from the table - they are a joy! So smiling, so benevolent). And how they work, they try so hard... Well done, boys! If you have the opportunity to convey our gratitude to them, I would be very grateful to you. Chefs and waiters - too, and humor, and smiles - and... everything is for you and nothing more! And in your own language!
The food is very varied. Various salads, individual vegetables, individual fruits, pastries are amazing. Cakes, watermelons, spring rolls. Various sauces. Soups - there were always two types, but tasty, I took a second portion. The meat is not so varied - beef and chicken. Husband took chicken, I - beef. So what, take as much as you want. After all, we didn't come for the meat.
Near the hotel there are various shops - with clothes, papyri, magnets, teas, perfumes, oils. There are few shops, but you can choose what you need. There is also a PHARMACY. It was not by chance that I wrote in capital letters. We went there on our last day of vacation. But in vain. I thought that there were just the necessary medicines, I think, why should I come in, I took everything I needed with me. They sell various oils, creams, shampoos, etc. And everything is cheap. Almost everything is $2. A liter jar of black cumin oil - $15. And at the very beginning of the holiday, the guide offered us free city tours twice with visits to shops with teas, perfumes, clothes, souvenirs, magnets. We went. So there these oils - 1 small bottle - 12 dollars. And in the PHARMACY at the hotel - a bottle is much more - $ 2 !! ! And this is with a medical badge, i. e. there should be no doubt! The seller in the pharmacy is absolutely not intrusive, on the contrary, we ourselves asked him to offer us something, to suggest. HUGE thanks to him!! ! It is a pity that we managed to dilute the money and went there on the last day. Of course, I can’t say anything bad about the companies that we visited Nifertiti. Everything is beautifully presented, proposed and everything is super. But! At what prices??!! ! $12 from them and $2 from the pharmacy.
In the shop with oils and perfumes at the hotel, you can also buy whatever your heart desires. In the tea shop, the seller treated us to awesome tea. Unfortunately, they parted not very cheerfully, because. we had no money left, and the tea was very expensive, the one that we liked (it is heavy in weight).
In the hotel itself, on the ground floor, there are also shops - one with magnets and souvenirs, the other with silver. In silver, the seller, his name is Michael - a true professional in his field. If you doubt your choice - do not suffer, just rely on its taste. He will select for you only what is perfect for you. I don't think there is any doubt about the quality of the products. You will be stunned only by the dazzling brilliance and a huge variety of jewelry made of silver, gold, stones. The store owner is a charm. You want to go to him again and again, and everyone does it - they just come in to say hello, to chat. Already from one visit to the store creates a positive mood. Good luck to him in business!
And most importantly - the SEA! Boundless, blue, turquoise. . . A strong wind does not interfere at all, on the contrary, it only enhances the romance. . . I came in the morning when there was no one else, only boys = workers were cleaning the beach, weeding grass, etc. - and sat down by the sea. . . and enjoyed. . . - only the SEA and I.... Delightful pleasure. . .
Then those who woke up later joined in.
The seashore itself is sandy, but with pebbles. There is a fairly long pontoon with three or four slopes of various depths, and we swam there. But! - be careful - it's slippery to go down the steps down into the sea. Pontoon with sun loungers - under a canopy and without. There are many families with children, and the smallest age is 3-4 months. And everything is fine. Bathe, sleep under a canopy. The heat is surprisingly easy to bear. The temperature was from 35 to 42 degrees. And nothing. And all thanks to the strong wind. You don't sweat at all. I have never used deodorant in my entire vacation. And there was no smell of sweat from anyone - not on the bus, not in a cafe, restaurant . . Everything dries up instantly, it doesn’t even dry out, there is simply nothing to dry. But no discomfort. Small children crawl in the lobby of the hotel, on the territory near the hotel, stomp just barefoot. No colds - everything is comfortable.
There are 4 or 5 pools. We never swam in them. We swam in the sea. We will swim in the pools at home. But whoever has kids - of course, everyone had a great time. Other tourists, of course, swam in the pools. And Arab families also bathed. But, I want to say that, after reading the reviews of tourists who spoke negatively about Arab tourists, I was biased towards them at first. But then I realized that these are normal people, and they are trying to help you: they give you a hand when descending into the sea so that you do not fall; on the yacht they treat you to their own food from their own plate, despite the fact that I also have my own plate with my own food - well, if anyone is uncomfortable, his problems; having gone on an excursion to a paradise island, there was not a single Russian-speaking person with us, there was another couple from Serbia, and the rest were all Arabs. On the way back from the tour, the car stopped and a group of Arab guys got out. We don't know anything, we don't understand anything. Then they came back, it turns out they went out to buy water. So, they bought 2 bottles of water, because. it was very hot and stuffy in the car. One bottle was given to me and my husband!! ! You understand what attitude! I am pleasantly surprised by them! And the fact that they bathe in their Muslim bathing suits dressed in black from head to toe is their religion, this is their life. And I didn't feel any discomfort. Our tourists can also swim in T-shirts, etc. And nothing... The Chinese went in crowds. What can I say - a friendly nation. Well done. And the fact that our tourists come in pairs, and go to the beach separately, or somewhere else. What to say to that? - Freedom? But for them it is not clear. And they are together. And to be honest, I don't understand it either. Although she went to the beach alone. At times (my husband liked to sleep longer, but I didn’t want to waste time in the room (we left for some 8 days - and sit in the room? ).
I met a wonderful couple from Kazakhstan, a wonderful family from Egypt with small children, carried children on their arms (they are Christians), with wonderful sisters (3 sisters) Muslim women on a yacht - everything is wonderful! Indeed, as they say, as you treat people, so people treat you. I am very sorry that I did not exchange phone numbers or e-mail addresses with them.
No Arabs and Chinese spoiled our holiday. On the contrary, I was glad that I knew a different culture, a different nation, a different way of life. And experienced sincere respect for themselves from them. It was only a shame - school English was forgotten even the one that I remembered perfectly at home. Just from the fact that these same Arab vacationers there are fluent in English, you feel compared to them - well, I don’t know how to say it. Very ashamed. They know their own language, Arabic, and the local dialect, and English. A couple from Serbia on a yacht also spoke English. And we are only the necessary words to somehow explain our needs. But it was hard to talk. But everything is GREAT! Our relationship did not suffer at all from this, even everyone had some kind of tenderness, and interest in each other.
In a hotel on the first floor, a Russian girl in Muslim clothes, Christina, is sitting by the window. She is approached to sign up for restaurants - Chinese, Italian. You can also contact her for any question. She will explain everything and help. Thank her very much.
Near the hotel in the evening excellent animation. And from two sides of the hotel - on the one hand, some local singer sings, and he sings great, and Russian songs, and local, and various other, well-known repertoire. On the other side of the hotel, both children and adults are entertained - various competitions, performances, dances. Leading - SUPER!!!
GOOD FELLOWS!! ! Everything is great!!!
I want to come back to you again - not everyone had time to see, try. And the attitude of those working in the hotel is simply amazing with its warmth, attention, tireless work... Thank you... We understand that this is your job. But the work can be done in different ways. AND YOU ALL ARE GREAT!! ! I was STILL very touched when I went to the sea in the morning - an old worker was squatting and weeding the grass... And how everything became clear - how much work is invested in maintaining such beauty in the hotel! .
