We got to this hotel by accident, friends first bought a tour here, and then we connected mainly because of the very low price and convenient departure for us. The hotel is located on the outskirts, there is nothing interesting nearby, only the desert, so the only way to the city is by taxi. The territory of the hotel is simply stretched between two lines of buildings, I can’t call it some kind of beautiful and green, but they look after it and take care of it. They settled us for about an hour, they gave us a simple room, overlooking the internal pool, the bed was more or less comfortable, there were enough hangers in the closet, the plumbing is of course noisy, but bearable, there was no point in turning on the air conditioner, I always take only my own shampoos and gels , cleaning is one name, but I can’t say that the living conditions were bad or excellent, rather acceptable. If you live closer to the main building, then go to the sea decently. Swimming from the shore is not realistic, the beach is not big, I didn’t really like it, it’s better to go into the sea from the pier, which is really very long, I advise you to take a towel with you and wrap yourself in it after leaving, otherwise you can just freeze now, even if there will be a little wind every day. The water is really cool, once again I didn’t really want to plunge, there are no reefs and a wide variety of fish, I saw only small ones, but the sea is certainly clean. In terms of nutrition in general, everything is more or less, the necessary minimum for us personally has always been, the main thing is that we took normal alcohol with us, it’s not realistic to drink hotel. There are always eggs for breakfast, delicious pastries, different rolls, for lunch and dinner all our side dishes are there, only they either don’t know how to cook potatoes, or there was some kind of not tasty variety, there were always vegetables in different forms, chicken, fish so-so , you can choose something from cakes in the evening, but of course everyone has their own taste and consumer basket, but no one will go hungry here. Somehow we were not very interested in animation, the nursery was certainly boring from the side, and we were lucky that we were with friends. We drove on quadrics through the desert almost at night, in the morning. We also went on a boat from some island in the open sea, we got super pictures there, visited Luxor, this is of course a completely different Egypt, in short, if you are an active person, you can always diversify your vacation, especially since the weather now does not have much for a beach holiday , in the evening it can be generally cool, you can’t do without jeans, shoes and crosses. I also advise you to buy a local SIM card at the airport, we have been doing this for a long time and, for example, we learned about the change in departure time from the message of a girl who works in the agency through which the tour was bought here, the guide always exposes such things late, if at all. I’ll probably refrain from recommendations to go here, but I won’t dissuade anyone either, since at such a price the client will always be at least once forever.
