We planned one thing, but it turned out exactly the opposite, but very good!

My wife and I travel to different countries. We love the beautiful nature and delicious food of Asia. We love car trips in Europe. This time there was little time, we decided to go to Egypt - just lie on the beach and eat at the hotel.

We chose the Golden 5 Emerald 5* hotel. Arriving at the hotel, we were shocked! The hotel is 30 years old, no one bothered with repairs here. The contingent in the hotel as if we had arrived in a Soviet boarding house from the factory!


Things got a lot worse when we went out for lunch for the first time. I was 25 years ago at a recreation center with my parents near Kharkov, where the food was better! Meat is rarely eaten and is given out in portions (you have to beg to give a portion like an adult), fish is exclusively pangasius in a terrible starch sauce, pasta is the cheapest, cheese and sausage (I couldn’t even identify what they are made of, but definitely not from edible substances), a choice of fruits of 1-2 types (green melon, tasteless pomegranates or some kind of citrus). Sweets are amazing, made from semolina and starch.

All Inclusive system. I have never seen such a thing. 10 bottles of beer for dinner for the whole hotel. After 5 minutes it ends and there is no other alcohol at all. Rather, it is, but rum with a strength of about 3-4 degrees, i. e. diluted more than 10 times! This did not interfere with my rest, but for someone it may be important.

Therefore, we decided to visit all excursions to the maximum!

1. We went diving on a yacht. It was very cool. We dived not for the first time (we dived in the Maldives, Bali and Thailand), but it was the best diving! Lots of fish, octopuses, rays! The instructor is very attentive.

2. We went on a yacht to swim with dolphins in the open sea. We were not deceived! There really were dolphins, and we swam with them for about half an hour at a distance of about a meter. Unforgettable experience! Then they brought us to a very beautiful reef, and then they also rode on a pill and a banana (I have never tried this, it turned out to be very fun! ).

3. Let's go to Luxor. We are not fans of museums and temples, but Luxor is worth seeing at least once in a lifetime!

In general, the train turned out to be very eventful, and we were more tired than rested )) But on the other hand, a lot of impressions!
