Good afternoon, my name is Alexandra.
My husband and I flew from May 15 to May 25 to Egypt (Hurghada) to the Stella Makadi Garden hotel. The tours were bought through Chip-Trip, so the tour operator was not chosen, as Pegasus fell into the roulettes.
I will not paint everything, I will write everything important and point by point.
1. At the airport upon arrival, the guide (Arab) from Pegasus forced everyone to buy a visa ($ 30 per person), which no one really looked at, and did not understand whether it was needed at all.

2. Upon arrival at the hotel, we received a key to the room, which was already cracked (we didn’t notice this at the time, because the crack is not visible on the white plastic), the husband smoothly inserted the key, and half remained in his hand. At the reception, the Arab said that it was our fault and we had $ 5 (then he said $ 7.8 . . stopped at $ 7) a fine, Svetlana - the Pegasus guide had to take our side, she obviously knew that the cards were in bad condition, but went over to the side of the hotel in the person of the secretary at the reception, who, during an unfavorable conversation for him, forgot Russian and began to speak English, as if we did not understand him, saying that they would not accommodate us at all.
In short, the conclusion: Arabs speak Russian only when they sell something to us; Sveta is a boorish woman who allowed herself to be familiar, etc. ; For everything that is in the hotel (including those in poor condition) you will pay fines, what Arabs do not know what depreciation is, they do not have such a cost item.
3. At the general meeting, Svetlana talked more about how we can and should spend money, instead of talking about how best to spend a vacation, what to avoid, and what to try, we did not listen to the end and left after many others.
4. On the 3-4th day, the food gets bored with the same thing, the half-eaten food is turned into something else in the morning and served for dinner, diluted water (positioned as fruit juice, you yourself understand that this is far from the case) quickly pours out allergies, and if if you want "freshly squeezed" juice it costs $3 for a small glass.
5. Animation is just a nightmare, it's a shame to watch, it takes place in broken English and the same words... well, if you fill your eyes, as many did, it can be funny, the question is what to do with how my husband and I, who did not drink local alcohol and their animators, or rather the proposed humor without tears you will not look.
6. We heard that there is a local doctor who does not speak Russian or English and treats diarrhea for $128.
7. On the beach, a small henna tattoo will be done for $40, although in a nearby hotel they do the same for $1.
8. All Arabs shout "hey friend" and hint at a tip, but it's not clear why.
9. Buy everything at home to go there prepared, otherwise you will spend a lot of money.
10. A liter sprite costs $3, Pringals (chips) $4-5, a small tube of toothpaste $3-4 is enough for 4-5 days (for two with two brushings).

11. We wanted to buy a figurine as a gift, I liked Anubis made of natural (according to the Arab) stone, but I forgot what it symbolizes, the Arab rushed to tell that it was health and happiness, we didn’t take it, because I doubted. By the way, the cost is about 2000 rubles, the size is 20 cm. Then we learned that Anubis is death, so please make your purchases very carefully.
12. You will be bred for handmade papyrus, they will take from about $ 15-30 for 1 piece. size 20*20cm. and for spirits without alcohol (oily), 1 gram costs $1. We bought both men's and women's perfumes smell the same and disappear very quickly, allergies can also go. So be careful!
There was a lot more that was not pleasant, but I think that in order for people to think about whether to go or not, enough is written, so my conscience is clear, I warned my compatriots.
