Immediately, I note that I went ALONE, for the 1st time in Egypt, and all that... Friends, nothing terrible and dangerous, I tell you! Yes, a poor country, yes, they invite you to shops as best they can (and they can do it loudly, stubbornly and endlessly) - but you don’t have to be a rag doll: Arabs are people too, and they won’t shoot you in the back if you don’t buy anything from them; yes, there is an increased interest in the female sex - this is putting it mildly. But then again, people must be perceived as they are, otherwise you can’t go anywhere at all, not only to Egypt. Turn on humor, and... fly!
About business. Went with Tez-Tour. 12 days. Uninterrupted company: meeting, organization of visa control, access to the bus, further information - everything is ok. The same - seeing off: do not find fault! Thanks to the receiving party - work as
clock. I advise you not to be stingy and pay extra 2 bucks at the airport to stand in only 2 queues: to receive a migration card + visa immediately + checking visas upon exit. Total $17 With me, 3 planes landed in a row, and there were countless people
quantity, so 2 bucks significantly reduces the "pleasure" in the flea market.
Hotel. I would put 4 * for the general view, 4 * (-) for the room (I lived in the old building: everything is just worn out and the furniture is not 2009 design, of course - but absolutely clean (for this I increase the score from 3 * +), 4 * (-) or 3 * (+) - food, 4 * (+) for the beach (not 5 * due to not very well-placed umbrellas: not enough sun by sunset, but removed; all the time I was on the beach of Old Seagal (there in the form swimming pool entrance, about 30-40 m you can go up the neck, then deeper. New Seagal - immediately into the sea, but the beach is ALWAYS WIND, uncomfortable for winter. The old beach is closed by cottages, so a completely different feeling when you get out of the water), fish they swim everywhere, in flocks, but they are not given into hands:: )):: )) Near the beach there is a hotel marina with yachts. WATER IS CLEAN, gasoline does not float. In the middle of my vacation, some inadequate compatriot people who did not know how to behave anywhere ran over for a short time (in the restaurant they literally tore food from their hands; on the beach they threw cigarette butts and glasses on the sand and called Masha or Vasya across the entire beach; in the corridors of the hotel knocked down guide signs, i. e. the purpose of the trip is to get drunk, litter and yell. animation 5 * (good guys, try, have fun); room cleaning is ambiguous: I slept with an open balcony, so a couple of times there was a mosquito (1 piece x 2), I asked to process it - they did it without questions later, 5k for memory. But. . . they didn’t always finish everything: either they didn’t hang the towel in place, they threw the garbage out of the room, but not out of the bath. Those. little things, but they attracted attention. Therefore, perhaps I will stop at 3 * (+).
Separately, about food. Everything is of high quality, it is impossible to stay hungry, but in my opinion it is not very diverse and there are not enough fruits (I mean the assortment, not the quantity). Dishes for all tastes: fish, meat, chicken - always, in different forms, but it seemed to me greasy or something. Vegetables as such, potatoes, rice (they make very tasty and different ones), pasta - always, sauces, powders, brushes - always. And all in different versions (fried, crushed, grilled, stewed, with sauces, without them... ). Breakfast - dry, with all sorts of milk and jam, pancakes, scrambled eggs, eggs, cheeses, sausage (I did not like it, but the people ate very much); local cheese - och-och ok; And always - all kinds of buns, rolls, buns, bagels, a myriad of cakes, cakes, rolls. I won’t say about the taste - I’m not a fan of sweets at all, but I took something a couple of times to get into it: I got into it. Absolutely edible. Standard and around the clock 10-12 salads: cucumbers, tomatoes, kohlrabi, and all sorts of mixtures of vegetables or vegetables with something. The composition is unchanged, so I do not advise you to attack everything on the 1st day. Take a little bit different every day. The restaurant itself is 5*. Everyone rustles, any request is fulfilled instantly. Once the spoons ran out: we are worried, because. they don’t give us the usual soup, but a light broth. Forward, over the edge of such a special plate-cup.
Bars on the beach: not rated, because I did not snack on anything (not a fan of the idea "to become a fat pig, you need to eat and sleep a lot"), only ice cream. You can cool down, the taste is the most common.
Drinks....... YOU CAN ONLY DRINK BEER. It is light (4-5%), cold - in principle, what else is needed from it. I tried rum: (cola + rum - a classic of the genre! ) It tasted nothing, I even repeated it, but the consequences... If you want to live next to the toilet and lose weight, do as I do: 2 cups of hellish mixture for dinner, and a slim figure is guaranteed! Although the Russian and foreign people jammed like crazy, and did not seem to lose much weight. Maybe it's just me? I didn’t like whiskey simply in principle: pure bodyaga. From custom-made drinks I advise: a guava cocktail. Awesome thing! Non-alcoholic, however, so on
amateur. Apparently, I'm the same fan.
A little more about the hotel. She lived in a room with a balcony over the passage between Nov. and St Sigalami. On the left - life is in full swing, on the right - the sea, one could guess the view of the Marina (the place where numerous yachts moor, the embankment is a continuous cafe, very
civilized. On foot from the hotel - 20 minutes, by taxi - 3 minutes). Something takes me somewhere all the time... So, the hotel. The room has everything you need, the bed is comfortable, wide. Bathroom: bath, toilet, bidet, hair dryer (antediluvian. Hee hee), soap, cap.
The first 2 days I could not cope with the water: it flowed cold, I was even confused. Then I adapted: first you need to drain the water a little, it quickly warms up, and then regulate it. The water is very soft. I repeat that despite the proximity of the roadway, I slept with an open balcony. Those. ears are not very traveled, it was possible. (Neighbors were more worried: 1 time compatriots broke into the door, as if they were having a flood. But no! Give me a light, it turns out. Well, or sing songs in chorus on the way to the room at about 5 in the morning... ) In general, the sound insulation is very good, no complaints : except for these two strange cases. Yes, I did not pay extra for the VIEW. There were cases with me when for the same thing people knocked out something for money in the rooms next to me. Thanks Tezu, again. I took a rope with clothespins with me, I did not regret it: the wind is strong
at night, everything would fly off the balcony. Since the hotel is not the 1st freshness, the elevators slowed down a bit: until it reaches, until the door opens... You can get out of the situation easily: on foot up the stairs. Helpful and fast.
Pools. In general, there are several of them: St. Seagal - a cascade of 3 + water park (a straight slide + a slide that is all twisted for I don’t know who: the men squealed : ) : ) : ). They didn't warm up. New Seagal is a kind of lagoon, 1-tier. There is heating. NEVER USE ANY OPTION. There is a gorgeous sea. There are souls after the sea, so washing off the salt is not a problem.
Tours. Separate topic. 1st - went from TezTour on a boat with a transparent bottom. Honestly? From Teza expected better and more. The price for IT should be 2 times lower. Duration - 2 hours, bus + boat + juice bag. Watching fish and corals: yes, beautiful, but not enough. 2nd - went from the hotel to Paradise Island. 4 stops: 1) snorkel in fish schools, 2) swim as you like in the open sea, 3) swim on the island (the water is clear like in a cup, fresh milk. BEAUTIFUL), 4) do not swim, but catch fish (aunt one even caught a striped one). + to this lunch, + belly dancing (professional dancer) + fruit dessert, + endless work of 2 guides + all kinds of windings with towels, + rent of a mask and fins, and... THE SAME price as for a 2-hour excursion from the TF, but the time - 9.00-16.00. Feel the difference. Pleasure - incomparable at all! I would go again tomorrow. Highly recommend.
Well, about the environment. Shops, shops, shops, cafes, cafes, discos (didn't go - just didn't want to). There is McDonald's. There is where to take a walk: you can just walk along the street, you can go to the Marina. You can sit in a cafe, drink coffee, light a hookah, drink, have a snack... Life is in full swing in the morning - probably from 9 to. Bunch of taxis. At first I thought that
road - constantly an emergency situation. An no. Style of work: you go, it goes by empty. Disorder. We need to call you inside. That's it and beeps all continuously. There are also minibuses. You can ride, they say, but I walked, with rare exceptions.
In general, from my point of view, Seagal is a complete match of price and quality for those who want to combine leisure and entertainment (very different, I hasten to notice). Some shortcomings are absolutely compensated by the ability to change the situation at any time and go out onto a wide street. Probably suitable for all ages. And probably not in vain there were people who openly stated that they were resting in Seagal for the 3rd, 4th, 5th time out of 10 stays in Egypt, or they rested again on a tour lasting 1 month.
