In Egypt for the first time, I can only compare with the Crimea. So, the price-quality ratio is more than acceptable.
SAM HOTEL. The territory is large, where it is ennobled it is green, part of the land has not yet been developed, behind building 10 (that's where I would not want to settle), and the noise of the road is heard there. My friend and I were settled in the center - in building 27. There are also closer to the sea, but we did not change, and everything is so close. Weed is watered, of course, from septic tanks, but the smell is not strong, and during watering, you will most likely be in a lobby bar or at dinner.
NUMBERS. You can find fault (the TVs are old, the shower door does not close, the beds are not starched), but I will not. Beds, bedside tables, wardrobe, mirror, dressing table, balcony, safe. The safe, by the way, in the room did not work for many of ours, the main thing is to inform the manager about the malfunctions in time.

FOOD. Food in bulk, three times a day, plus a lobby bar, plus restaurants (there were two or three - they weren’t particularly impressed, except that serving and waiters go around, otherwise in the central Scheherazade restaurant everything is very edible, especially moussaka and cute Arabic sweets in the form of vermicelli, in the morning the guys fry scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs with fillings to your taste, there is a queue for them, also pancakes like pancakes, but this is not the same) plus between breakfast and lunch, lunch and dinner - a bar by the pool. Nobody dies of hunger. But! Natural juices - $ 3 each in Scheherazade, do not drink colored UPI, tea is better (anise, hibiscus, cinnamon, etc. ).
SEA. The sea is wonderful, be sure to take masks and snorkel all day (otherwise annoying masseurs will torture you). Foreign people crowd around the pools - there is only one heated pool, the water, judging by the smell, is chlorinated, and the sea is clean and warm. There is a pier nearby, but motor ships and boats do not frequent. And for an additional fee, you can also go fishing from the pier. A camel is led along the beach - $ 5 to ride a child.
ENTERTAINMENT. I would recommend this hotel for families with children - the audience is decent, quiet. All animators know Russian, as do most of the hotel staff. You can go to Boke in Arabic - learn a few words. During the day on the beach there is some kind of gymnastics, in the evening a super-duper mega show is for everyone. By the way, in the evening in a bar on the street you will not freeze - some things like UFO roll up to visitors, only on gas. For an additional $300, you can even visit Israel.
ANEX-TOUR. Great company - when I read reviews about it, I was worried. Nothing happened for a week, and I relaxed. And in the evening before departure, they announce that the flight is not tomorrow at 9 pm, but at 10 am! Check-out from the hotel at 7! Then I breathed a sigh of relief: I recognize Anex-Tour, otherwise I thought they forgot to maintain their reputation. It’s good, we arrived in Kyiv at 2 o’clock and managed to change tickets home, and for some people, the flight, on the contrary, was delayed for 12 hours.
GENERALLY. Satisfied. Only mountains can be better than mountains, and only the Red Sea can be better than the Red Sea.
