What is the situation in Hurghada? Does the absence of tourists affect the service in hotels?
Dear holidaymakers from countries that are not denied entry to Egypt. What is the situation in Hurghada? Does the absence of tourists affect the service in hotels? Tickets have been purchased for a long time. I don't want to miss out on vacation.

I can't say for sure, but judging by the last time in 2011, imagine the picture, the hotels are half empty,
restaurants are half empty most often hotels in such cases close all restaurants and leave only the main one, the diet is also cut off, that is, you will no longer be pleased with a special variety of dishes, this is the same case as they say in the reviews the food is the same every day. in this situation, it could be real.
most of the hotel workers are on vacation, what's the point of keeping them if there are no tourists.
Well, something like this, but there are a lot of free sunbeds and there are no queues anywhere.
and in any shop and shop they will lick you from head to toe or grab you like ticks until you buy something. so if you are going to go shopping, keep this in mind, you are not tourists, you are wallets that need to be emptied. and in this situation, you are very desirable wallets.

Friends flew in from Hurghada a week ago, and we are from Sharm. Everything is quiet, calm. There are very few people.
Food was cut, but you won't go hungry. Entertainment is the same. Attitude... It's hard to answer unambiguously. In hotels they are normal, but in the city it is different, they are angry. Sellers in shops try to deceive more. There was a situation, friends bargained for T-shirts, agreed on the same price, and in the calculation they tried to deceive and demanded more .. An extremely unpleasant situation. There are no people in the city, the police often pass by. Not comfortable))). And the hotels are good. Pay attention to the weather. This year, November-December is much cooler than usual. Before the wind started, it was cold.

We arrived on November 6 and flew out on November 13, when the Russians were already being taken out of the hotel. The food is the same, only in its pots, for example, it was not for 300 people, but for 50. There was enough in total. But there were no queues, screams, the beach was full of sun loungers, and most importantly, neither the sea nor the sun changed for the worse at all. It even got better, the air became cleaner, because no one smoked nearby, as is often the case ... And there was no stupid animation and music. Silence, grace. Correctly say: Less people - more oxygen. Yes, I forgot to say. Fruit prices in the bazaar have fallen.

Prices have dropped and there are fewer tourists. People understand the situation and try to bargain for everything cheaper.
My brother is resting here now, I ask him how is the animation, food? He told me that the animators are working even more actively, the service has remained the same and there is enough food. Arabs and a few Ukrainians also rest in the hotel, He did not notice a strong difference, one thing is for sure, there were fewer people, But then someone likes it.
The weather this year for November and December is normal, only the last 3 days are evening and it got a little colder. This weather is normal for us. It used to be at the beginning of December and colder)))) (+15 day and +7 evening)

In recent weeks, 7 hotels on the coast have been robbed. The latest robbery at Brayka Bay Reef Resort in Marsa Alam was last week. For example, in this hotel complex, the staff from the security team was reduced three times, instead of 60 people, only 20 work, some of whom may be on vacation or sick. Agree, protect a huge territory 3! hotels with such forces, well, it’s very difficult, despite the fact that the Royal is closed due to the current situation with tourists, and the owner, who is used to traveling due to the responsible attitude to the work of his staff, saves on everything (elementary measures, such as installing video cameras, could to prevent outsiders from entering the territory of the hotels). The safety of tourists was not threatened. I am writing so that those traveling to Egypt should try not to leave large sums or valuables in safes, and be extremely careful about excursions, safaris ...

The situation is different in different hotels. I rested from November 23-30. in Pyramis Sahl-Hashish, we counted 27 people on 500m of the beach for 850 rooms on the day of arrival, mostly post-clients Ukraine, Belarus + new Latvia, Lithuania then added 4 a guy from Saudi Arabia and two couples from Cairo. The main restaurant, a bar on the beach worked as usual, and in the evening everyone who wanted to gather in Sunrise (a bar on the island of the pool). Alacarta did not work, but every dinner at the entrance to the main restaurant was a cook and prepared dishes from one of the restaurants, either stew with vegetables, or rolls. There were problems with fruits, there were always two types of apples, diced and quartered, dates, grapes every three days, guava. The animation team still remained, the kids club worked. Two days before my departure, a grandmother arrived with a granddaughter of 15-16 years old from Bryansk, flew through Minsk, but they say that it was expensive. in hotels focused mainly on Russia,

Fateev4, an unsuccessful example. This viper (sorry, no other word) is closed for reconstruction. I hope that there will no longer be such a "Tagil point" in the prosperous Sahl Hasheesh. Any hotel that works only with the CIS is fear and horror.
All the rest - do not listen to stories about the terrible bezrossiyskoy Egypt. Remember that for at least 20 years Egyptian resorts have existed perfectly without Russian-speaking countries, and they will continue to exist for at least the same amount. Or until Mordor becomes a civilized country again. We were in Sahl Hasheesh from November 4 to 14 and did not notice any changes for the worse either in service or in food. All the stories about diminishing cooking with food and sluggish animation come from hotels that operate mainly in the CIS. Just don't buy tickets there. We never went to such hotels.

L_ena this pit was not closed for reconstruction, it is being rebuilt on the go. Everyone is settled in the 1st building, and the other two are being reconstructed, when I left a German delivery was expected, and at the expense of other hotels you are right Citadel Azur is 80% full, mostly Germans , and there are worse vipers, the same Golden.

Some newspapers have been talking about this for three years now. Like, the main dream of a Chinese tourist is to look at the Egyptian pyramids. But something is not going very well.

Tourism revenue in the third quarter of 2015 decreased by 15% compared to the same period last year, Adal Ragab, economic adviser to the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism, said.
According to the agency, Russian investments in the country's tourism industry in 2014 reached $250 million.
In general, tourism revenues account for 11.3 percent of the GDP of the Arab Republic.

Tourism revenues in the third quarter of 2015 fell not because the plane was shot down and the Russians stopped traveling (it was shot down, by the way, in the fourth quarter), but because people simply had less money. The dollar has risen in price, and consequently the prices for tours, and incomes have decreased. Not to the resorts here ...

And I would go to Crimea (everyone writes here - Crimea is Ukraine) - that means there is nothing seditious in my words, is it really an admin? Yes, and buses from Kyiv travel quite regularly (you can safely buy tickets) I would wave as always in Evpatoria or my beloved Feodosia (where, of course, the service is zero, it has never been there, but nature, etc., etc.) and Yalta? Alushta? and Bakhchisarai? -but think about it, why the hell do I need this hemorrhoids? (especially crossing the border) By the way, relatives in Feodosia (the old people receive a pension of 12,000 of their rubles, and my mother in Zhytomyr 1370 UAH - who understands exchange rates, can count) In Egypt scary, but what do you all think that the Mujahideen really distinguish between Russians and Ukrainians? The people there are cheerful, as in Turkey (why will a terrorist ask for a passport before shooting?), my wife asks me to go from Ukraine to Galicia, and I want to go to St. Petersburg. I’ll take a chance (everything will be fine there, but the conditional “ours” - again, I could drink blood
