In general, a good hotel, with its pros and cons, then I'll tell you everything. I rested with my girlfriend, I'm 23, she's 22. I'll start telling from the beginning) Our tour operator was Tez Tour....Transaero airline... Boeing 747..... and now, we landed successfully, a guide meets us at the airport with a Tez Tour sign, a terrible queue although we arrived at 8:00 local time, within an hour there were two more flights behind us. Upon arrival, you will be offered WITHOUT A QUEUE, for 10 dollars (bargaining is appropriate, do not be shy) for two, go through all the bureaucratic procedures (I advise you not to spare money, because you will save your nerves and effort), then you will be escorted to the bus and taken to hotels, to the pyramid 15-20 min. We arrived at the hotel, the porter grabs the suitcase (nice) without demanding anything in return. Next, go inside, come to the reception, they put a bracelet on your hand, you can already eat, drink, etc. first floor) with a horse, and the MOST IMPORTANT THING IS NOT GIVING ANY ONE, ANY MONEY, even though they will make every possible gesture and say that it’s difficult, etc. , etc. behave arrogantly (even if you don’t know how) be tough and persistent from the very beginning, if that call the senior manager. We overslept the meeting with the guide, they didn’t say anything new there. The most important rule !! ! do not make friendships, conversations, etc. (on the face in the bar there are two norms of chela hookah Nadia, for $ 25 he will bring you a local forbidden thing of excellent quality and bartender Dima). If you and a girl are patient, maybe a little more than the Red Sea will go away))) in no case do not let the Arabs near her (worse than our chocks). Usually paws are pulled to the girls (they try to grab the hand), you say they don’t understand, maybe you’ll have to hit your hands a couple of times, don’t be afraid, but then they take offense at you and won’t fit at all.
GENERAL ABOUT THE HOTEL: as I already said, everyone is arrogant, drinks are poured into two glasses in one hand (plastic glasses are even smaller than we sell), glass ones are washed, if I may say so (they pour out the remnants, rinse and wipe), and at dinner they constantly run out , eternal queue. From food !! ! When you come to a restaurant (more dining room than a restaurant), the tables are packed, your eyes run wide. Of the salads, I advise you to eat only tomatoes, and then start after them when you arrive at the dining room (do not be late) because they run out quickly, my main diet (lunch, dinner) was rice. There was mashed potatoes once, and then a strange color (yellow-green), but you can’t eat anything, pasta was 1-2 times, also some kind of incomprehensible, but a lot of meat in a wide variety of options. Lots of pastries, cakes, everything is always fresh and very tasty. From 12:00 they gave pizza, not to say that it was delicious, but you can eat it. From 15:00 ice cream, very tasty. Don't worry, you won't leave hungry!
From entertainment, you can: 1 do aerobics on the beach or on site (gather people, spend) 2 table tennis, okay, but dead rackets to such an extent that one side has become completely wooden. Then they found a way out, bought plastic ones, without any coating, 1.5 times more than standard ones. 3 Volleyball, the same story a ragged ball, you can compare it with an American football ball, but we were lucky the prudent German brought his own)))

The room was small, but very comfortable, large bed, air conditioning, TV channel 1, bathroom and toilet combined. Cleaned every day, towels changed. Minus with regards to the room, the quality of the water is terrible (by the way, water is provided every day for a bottle per person), hot water is actually hot at first, a minute passes, it is cold, I was freezing !! ! We did not have solid soap, but you only had to ask! ! ! We didn't see any cockroaches.
The hotel is not on the first line and it did not break off, the bus runs every half hour. But be prepared for the fact that you will not lie down calmly either on the beach or in the hotel, as they will constantly be attached to excursions. They say that it is better to take from the tour operator, but we took a chance and at the reception took a safari for $ 30 cheaper than in the tour. At 13:30 we were taken from the hotel, arrived at 20:30. The tour was super, the impressions were overwhelming, 1 part ATV, buggy, horses, donkeys, camels (driving everywhere)))... lunch, 2 part we sit down in a toyota land cruiser we go 24 km in one direction (I was shaken so that my head ached, but even this didn’t spoil the impression) further like a Bedouin village (it’s still very interesting, the guide is just super), mountains, again animals, etc. , we return 3 part hookah, belly dance, telescope, fire show is just a bomb... we got great pictures
The hotel has entertainment every evening, aimed at pensioners (friends found a false jaw by the pool))), there is a disco, but maybe it was out of season, very few people, let's say a maximum of 10 people. Mostly British, Russians, Germans, a lot of Finns, Belarus, Benelux countries, etc.
I advise smokers to stock up on cigarettes at home, because the local "Marlboro" is indistinguishable from the army cigarettes "Smoke Break"
In Hurghada, a very cheap taxi, you can drive for hours.
The market is at least 15-20 minutes, everyone will drag you to their tent, don’t listen to anyone, don’t give in to persuasion, bargain!

In general, looking through the Egyptian photos of friends and acquaintances, I didn’t see anything better, if there was still a heated pool, I would not complain at all, because I never swam in it (at night 13-16, in the afternoon 25-30 and strong wind), to advise I won’t, but I think that for this money 31500 everything is not even bad, I put 7! Almost 1.5 months have passed, and we have one positive left, the most important thing is that we don’t feel sorry for the money spent, but the desire to return remains !! ! I almost forgot !! Don't be shy to get to know everyone. . . we are Russians, it's more fun together))) I wish you only positive emotions and a successful vacation!! !
