Tour operator - MOSTRAVEL, guide - Ahmed (calm), Mohammed (very attentive and obligatory) - he is just a CLASS as a guide!
We arrived at lunchtime, while settled - we didn’t go for lunch already - and that’s good!
They didn’t pay for the room, because it didn’t make sense (we knew in advance that the Arabs had the best rooms, who rested with their families after their Ramadan). And the best rooms are in a new three-story building.
Everyone who paid extra $10 from our check-in received the same numbers, the question arises - what's the point!!!


Room 468 is a 2-storey building on the left, a balcony overlooking the bushes and a construction site visible in the distance, but a balcony, and not 2 chairs on the street, as on 1 floors and separate bungalows! In short, there were also pluses here - the shady side, peace and shade all day long and the room is not hot and air conditioning is not needed (it makes noise and smells)! Furniture is a different story - VERY old, it's not said enough, but you're not there for half a year, so you can ignore it.
TV NOKIA - it's just a waste, but it tunes itself to all sorts of channels - that is, when it wants, then it shows !! ! The refrigerator is also old, but it performed its immediate functions regularly! By the way, everything in the refrigerator is for separate money, so do not absorb everything at once, it is better to buy in the store 3 times cheaper and put it there! And the bar on the beach is also not a hotel, and you also have to pay for everything there - ALL INCLUSIVE - it's not like in Turkey, everything is more modest here, but you won't stay hungry either !!!

But the territory of the hotel - a HUGE PLUS - is very green, everything is in bloom, it smells (decently), it is constantly watered, cut and all that! In short, if you compare with hotels nearby, then there is nothing to compare!! ! In the evening, who doesn’t love annoying Arabs on the street who grab you by the arms and legs and offer you everything (buy, sell, marry, and all sorts of obscenities!
), THEN on the territory of the hotel you can safely walk in circles, everything is beautiful and glowing, very relaxing!

FOOD is a different story. Someone eats everything and normally, someone is not quite normal, because we, the inhabitants of the European strip, are not used to eating in such quantities and such food! BREAKFAST - eggs (in any form), vegetables, pancakes, not sweet and not salty, sauces and jams for them, all kinds of cheeses and sausages (do not eat sausage - to avoid problems - just take a word! ), Hibiscus, instant juice, tea , coffee, milk, muesli and children's breakfasts and rolls, rolls, rolls ...LUNCH - also salads (very strange), vegetables, strange soups, 3 second (usually chicken, some meat, meatballs and other nonsense), rice, pasta , potato. Drink - what you ask the waiters - if you catch them and again rolls, cakes, some kind of fruit!

DINNER - the same as lunch, only some more strange food - like pizza squares, glass Chinese pasta, hamburgers and local shawarma. But with drinks - strained! Waiters must be asked 20 times, otherwise they forget what and to whom! FOOD every day is almost the same, but you will find something to eat! And remember - their gin and tonic is gin and mineral water (like soda for 1 kopeck in our Soviet machines), drink rum-cola or just gin with lemon!

SEA SEA! - This is what you need to go for! Clean, beautiful, no Turkey can compare! - And the fact that yachts stop at the hotel beach and everything around is covered in mud is bullshit! - they sail away in the morning and swim - I don’t want to! Swim away - there's no one there! The beach and the fish have both sand and pebbles and are quite clean! And slippers are not needed at all - there are no reefs and carals that scratch. Don't swim after 6 and don't step on hedgehogs either!!!
In short - this hotel fully fulfills its QUITE modest money !! ! - And the city center (if you can call it a city at all) and the territory are super, and the sea and the rooms - everything corresponds to 3+, as it really is! There are discos - who cares, and whatever shops you want and cafes and everything you can find! Do not go to the OLD city - or go in a crowd, it is quite scary there (especially for girls! ).

Go on excursions, swim, sunbathe - and you will have a great vacation!! ! Do not look for luxury in Egypt and it will pleasantly surprise you, and you will fly home full of pleasant impressions and positive emotions!! !
