Hotel ratings by criteria:
We loved EVERYTHING!!!
We had all inclusive. We went from 25.09 to 07.10. There was a heat under 30 gr. Not a single cloud for all days! ! clearest sky!
The hotel itself is very beautiful! We haven't seen these anywhere else! not around ours, not in catalogs at all. First, it is huge in area.
The title translates to 1000 and 1 night. And he is just like from a fairy tale about Scheherazade! Carved roofs, streets with jugs. . . In general, we took pictures of every corner))
Then it is also called Hotel and Fantasy there. Because there are performances every evening, and copies of the sights of Egypt are built on its territory. They are a little smaller than natural ones, but still huge . . The Sphinx is, in my opinion, like a natural one!

Here they bring to the performances from other hotels, and we, consider, can watch for free every evening. One thing: the presentation is the same. The performance begins when it gets dark and consists of: theatrical dances (including oriental ones), then the audience goes to the amphitheater, and there, with lighting and music, they talk about the sights of Egypt. Then a performance with animals: camels, horses, donkeys! ! All animals from this hotel!
During the day you can talk with animals (they have their own premises), feed, ride horses))
There is also an aviary with a monkey and turtles next to the residential buildings, which everyone feeds, I constantly dragged salad, cabbage, etc. from the restaurant for them))
About food. Of course the principle of the buffet. There are several restaurants in the area. Breakfast and dinner - in one, lunch - in the other. There are still those that you can go to yourself, incl. with Italian cuisine. In restaurants, food for every taste: poultry, meat, fish, various side dishes, and vegetables. You can overeat pizza, for example, or pancakes, and yogurt. True, after a few days we began to notice that the dishes
repeat, but believe me, you can choose one thing today, another tomorrow. I don't know, we personally didn't get tired of it.
From fruits: a lot of guava, oranges, grapes, pomegranates. Pastries and sweets - generally a great variety !!
Many cooks understand Russian.
By the way, Russian is also understood by many locals. Well, the sellers - of course! )) There are shops both on the territory of the hotel and a little away from it. On the territory - more expensive. And excursions, in principle, are acceptable, and I even recommend them! Near the reception, the guide is so plump, small in stature, very pleasant. And he makes a discount.
Tours. We went to Cairo to see the pyramids: a 6-hour drive at night, but we did not regret it, because we had never been to Egypt before. In general, on this excursion - a day. We were also on corals, on a boat with a transparent bottom. We were also in the desert, on the so-called “Bedouin”: we rode quad bikes, jeeps, buggies, saw how the local settlement lives, rode camels, watched the sunset, then the performance was with snakes, dancers . . In general, very interesting! )) Well, we also went to Hurghada: a perfume shop, to papyri, to the market, to a mosque...

About accommodation. The hotel rooms are all different. As are the hulls. There is a corridor type, there are with balconies, there are with more or less beautiful views of the courtyard. I must say right away that when we checked in, we put 10 bucks in our passports, and directly asked for a good number. And they gave it to us)) Well, in any case, he was not one of the worst. To be honest, I don’t know how it is in the other rooms, but we had service every day (linen, towels), and a normal shower, and a TV set, and cold, well, in general - everything, we had a view - into the yard with a pool . By the way, every day they bring in sealed bottles of drinking water, 1 liter each. per person. And during the day on the territory of the hotel you can drink any soda as much as you like.
From entertainment and other pastime, the hotel has everything. Like 5 pools (of different depths, shapes, and accompaniments, i. e. animation? bars, etc. ). All sorts of hookahs, golf, giant chess, playgrounds, basketball, etc. There is a fitness room and all sorts of baths. Some are free, some are paid, you have to find out. Yes! Every day - in the central pool, water aerobics, music and entertainment in general. Very groovy animators. And every evening in the second amphitheater there is a different (not the one I wrote about at the beginning) performance, different all the time.
About the sea. The hotel is not on the beach. You have to go to the sea through another huge hotel. Walking about 20 minutes. And every half an hour there is a free bus. On the territory of that hotel (they somehow cooperate with this one), you can also have lunch on the beach for free. But in the depths of the territory of this other hotel, not everything is free! This hotel has a river where you can ride a catamaran for free, and there are herons that walk on the lawns! ))
The sea has sand with small pebbles. During the day there is an ebb and flow, so sometimes it’s shallow, sometimes it’s not. There is a pier from which you can dive and watch corals. There is a rental of all equipment.
Look like that's it. There will be questions - write. The service did not upset us, I do not know about others. Everyone was polite, moreover, when we lost the camera case, they found it for us completely free of charge)) We met at the airport, very quickly took us through customs around the queues. And then they brought it back to the airport.
We went from the Mostrevel company (this is in Moscow), and in Yekaterinburg the representative office is Chariot.
