My wife and I flew through "Gallop across Europe" and "Wind Rose" with Coral/Odeon. There were no complaints about the travel agency, the airline and the tour operator - everything was clear, on time, without any delays, even the planes took off on time.
Now about Tia Heights Makadi Bay and seen Egypt.
Tia Heights Makadi Bay was certainly once a chic place, but now it is solid, even with a plus 4 *.
As elsewhere, the most unpleasant thing is the settlement. Since we arrived at 11.00, we had to wait an hour and a half, someone gave money, we did not, we had a Dune room reserved. They settled somewhere at 13.00, although according to the rules they could stay until 14.00. Things are taken to the room on special three-wheeled cars, we walked 200 meters from the main building.
Everything that is written about the territory is true - very large, well-groomed, green, with flowers, palm trees, etc. etc.

Everything that is written about long passages is not true - from all points you can safely walk to the main building and the sea in 5 minutes, and if with stretching, photographing - then in 10.
It didn't bother anyone.
The room is big and clean, everything is fine. In the Dunes, each nomar has its own "land", rest! In Laguna - closer to the sea, more original because of the artificial bays, but the exits from the nomars are right on top of each other, you won’t be very alone. In the main building - a madhouse, restaurants, bars, shows, disco until 3 am. There is also a Coral club, but it is a little further. There is also a tricky case for the VIP by the sea, near the right exit to the right pier and the transition to Medinat, by the way, it’s better to relax on the beach in this place, and there are never queues at the bar. Only the sick in the head take the sunbeds in advance - they always came after breakfast by 9.30 - they could find a place, and sometimes the boys in white help, give him lira or a dollar, or you can not give it.
Of course, a large number of us vacationers are annoying, but this is not fatal.
In general, I liked the hotel.
We took two excursions - one to corals, one to Luxor.
By the way, for the lazy, about 20-30 meters from the right pier, right on the course, a cool big coral island under water is full of marine life!
Luxor is just amazing!
But the country around the track is simply awful.
I saw a lot, I was in Morocco back in 1985, when no one thought about resting there, because I didn’t see such poverty and dirt there. Well, "filter", of course, everything that the guides say.
Their life expectancy is not 85 years, although the president is really 84, but the average is 65-67 maximum.
But that's their problem.
Luxor is wonderful, sands, sea, corals and fish are excellent, the hotel is good, travel agencies and air are great.
It's been a good vacation. Next time, as always, we will go to a new place.
By the way, about souvenirs and shopping - do not buy at the hotel - at the airport, after registration, there is a whole bazaar for you, where everything is ten times cheaper.
