For the first time in Egypt. Impressions are gained in a fluid, global, diffused way. Before the trip (October 19-26.2017) for a long time "used" the sites and agreed with the opinion of a travel agency employee, who offered to pay attention to Zahabia. My priority is the sea, the sun and the convenient location of the hotel for independent trips to the city. It is clear with the sun - in my opinion, in Hurghada there is not only rain, but also clouds. At least during our stay I did not see any. The location of the hotel at an equal distance from the New Tourist Center and the Old Center pleased. For us (with my wife) walking 3 km in one direction is not a problem. Driving by car or minibus you will not see and feel that you are in a distant country. The Old Center is a must visit. Be sure to visit the Christian Cathedral. In Hurghada, as in all of Egypt, out of a population of 100 million, 70% are Muslims (Sunnis) and 30% Christians (Copts). Nearby for a change you can visit the mosque.
Here is a bright eastern food market.
The new center is designed for tourists. Lots of shops and stalls with, well, very obsessive sellers. "Honey, just come in and see. " And so at every step. By the way, EVERYONE knows Russian. Enough to buy and sell.
Now the hotel. His main asset is the beach. Not even the beach, but the water space (5-6 hectares). Here and shoal, and the reef, which gradually turns into a cliff of 10 meters. Such a riot of colors and the number of fish I have never seen. In short, what was previously watched on TV, now I saw live. You can't go shopping for this beach. Only a mask and a snorkel, you can without flippers, and FORWARD to get to know and study the fauna of the Red Sea. And the sea has something to show. Especially since a trip to the sea for snorkeling (being on the surface of the water with a mask and a tube to explore the underwater world) can take up to an hour. The water temperature during our vacation was + 26C! ! ! !!
The beach is guarded. That is.
strangers do not go here. There are not many people, but it is for the better. There is an all-inclusive bar on the beach, open from 11:00 until 16:30. All inclusive involves pouring EVERYTHING, but only local. They have a good beer, but the wine is stronger - no. But in the summer, I don't need anything but beer. It is bad that they are poured into plastic cups with a capacity of 150 ml. But it's easy to deal with it: you ask for 2-3 at once, and then PAVTARIT, PAVTARIT (this is what the local service taught me). At the hotel, all staff in contact with tourists know Russian. Some have already learned phrases in Ukrainian THANK YOU, GOOD MORNING, DAY ...
Numbers. Standard. Provides a bathroom with constant hot and cold water, TV (with one Russian channel, but never watched), refrigerator and air conditioning. There is a nuance. All staff - men, women in Egypt do not work. In short, wet cleaning so-so, but I'm not complaining. I would clean up, probably not better).
