Vacationing in Egypt for the first time. The hotel fell on the 4 star hotel Remeviere. We were there for 14 days. Arriving in Egypt, they met us well, quickly went through customs. On the bus, the guide told us right away that with a good accommodation, pay 10 USD at the reception. and you will be given a luxurious room.
We arrived very late, so we decided to settle, and tomorrow we will decide. There are two hotels there. 3 and 4. Slavs they all settle in 3, like they say, pay and everything will be ok! Well, we were finally settled into room 3. This is of course awful. Everything is dirty, even duvet covers and pillows. The next day we went to Cairo. We were told that the room would be free only on the trail. day. Cairo tour is hard, but we got a good guide Miroslava and we all saw with our own eyes how the Egyptians live. The average salary for a Cairo is $100.
The food in the hotel is certainly not comparable to Turkish and even Ukrainian. In the morning, only eggs, in any form, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs and some egg salads, sausages, more or less, potatoes - you can’t even take it into your mouth and sausage, from which your stomach hurt. Well, the most delicious is sweets in any form. For lunch, delicious soups are already meat, cucumbers, pamidors. And to my surprise, the absence of onions. I just love it and have only seen it twice. Dinner is better once a week fish day, crabs. But small and tasteless. There were a lot of fish. Great advantage. The fish is delicious.

In Egypt, all hotels differ from European ones by simply removing one unit. Only in Yelgun there are hotels corresponding to 5.4, 3.......
The rooms are not ahty windows shook all night, not plastic. The rooms are large, bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom. The staff is normal, but they didn’t let you sleep during the day... if you give them a bakshish, they will clean you up in 5 minutes!
Drinks are terrible alcohol but you can drink.
Sea....two lagoons, warm turquoise water, big beach, clean and comfortable. The water is very salty. You can swim in the lagoon. Two large pools. Pretty deep.
The animation is the worst. Every day is the same. There are no discos there, young people will be bored there!
Our second tour of Luxor. This is a very interesting tour and the guide we had was just super! He said: if you want to learn how to speak Arabic, the word Yalaa! ) Denotes a lot. Were in three robbers, very interesting, go will not regret it. it takes about 4.5 hours to go there, it’s not boring to go back, turn on the video.
The third excursion is El Gouna. The current millionaire bought this peninsula for a penny and created a real Venice there. The Egyptians dug canals by hand for 8 years. There hotels correspond to their class, and summer cottages of famous people, there is even a toilet for camels f and m) And a bungalow for a dog, a whole mansion with a Jacuzzi. You will be taken to the aquarium and you will get acquainted with the inhabitants of the water world. Then you will fish at the coral reef, take a boat ride along the canals, you will be splashed by the rich (on a scooter) and fed with a delicious lunch! And you will also dive at the reef, it is very beautiful there! More fun on the yacht!
And the final excursion is our motorcycle safari! On quad bikes! This is something you can't forget! Departure from the hotel at 2 o'clock! Even if it's hot, put on your jeans, you'll be driving through the desert for an hour and a half! It's hot, but your feet won't burn! Take a scarf and glasses with you!


Do not be afraid of a quad bike, a harmless machine, the main thing is to do what the instructor tells you! You will go to the desert, you will be introduced to the local Bedouins, you will smoke a stake, you will be fed a delicious dinner and dance with the Bedouins! And then under the stars, ride a lady! Motosofari Foreva!
Souvenirs! There are a lot of them! You can buy a stake in pyramids, sets, the main thing is to bargain, do not be afraid of this, good-natured people) It is better to buy souvenirs in Hurghada from the El Samaka Beach hotel. Do not be afraid to sit in an empty minibus, agree on a price and pay the money upon arrival. There 2 pounds back take more. about 5. We bought leather jackets for $120.
We bought bags for about 30 bucks, and terry bath towels for 35 pounds. 1 pound hryvnia.
There are no traffic rules in Egypt, if you want to rent a car, it’s better not to take it! ) They extinguish a disaster there)
Ask the guides! They will help! Big hello Mustafa!! ! We are still looking forward to seeing him! You can go to the city, but everything is more expensive there and they don’t want to bargain!
The hotel bought papyrus for 20 dollars! All in all, a great vacation! We want to go there! I advise you to go in winter! You will not regret!
