Подводное царство underwater kingdom

When choosing a hotel for me and my girlfriend, the main criteria were: the opportunity to get acquainted with representatives of the underwater world, the beautiful territory of the hotel, good food and service. Based on them, we chose this hotel. And they were very pleased that they did not spare the time to get acquainted with the reviews of tourists. Everything was just great.
Sea. Entry into the sea on the sand, reefs - to the right and left. Depth - choose at will. The beach is in the bay so there are no waves. There is also no flow. Huge number of fish. Every day for a week we met with some new marine life. We saw a turtle, an octopus, and sea urchins. Very beautiful corals and colorful clams on them. If you do not know how to swim with a mask and snorkel, you can first practice in the pool (its depth is 1m. 20cm). But if you are categorically against such swimming, then it is probably better to look for another place to relax. The main charm of the rest here is to see what is under the water. It doesn't matter if you are a weak swimmer. You can also swim in a life jacket. At the end of October, when we were there, the water was very warm, but since you want to stay in the water longer, and it doesn’t make sense to swim fast (you can miss something interesting), many swam in T-shirts, shorts, and some had wetsuits. Prudent people also stocked up with boxes for underwater photo and video shooting and did not swim without cameras.
Tours. We went on a three-hour excursion to Abu Dabbab. This is a hotel nearby where you can see turtles and, if you're lucky, a dugong (which is a large sea animal). The impressions from the tour were very good. True, we did not see a dugong, but we saw a moray eel, several species of small sharks and watched turtles to our heart's content, although in general there were more fish at our hotel. Two instructors and an operator swam with us. All three are very attentive, cheerful and friendly, even though they know only a few words in Russian. Then you could buy the movie.

Another excursion we went on was to Luxor. This excursion is for the whole day. We learned a lot not only about Ancient Egypt, but also felt the specifics of the country, saw today's Egyptians. There are a lot of good pictures taken on this trip. We were accompanied by a very good guide of the Koral travel agency - Ahmed, and in Luxor - a wonderful guide George.
Service. Waiters - attention itself. Dirty plates are immediately taken away, they look with a smile, politely answer. All cleaners, sprinklers and other staff greet you warmly. The exception was, perhaps, our Russian-speaking guide of the travel agency Coral - Karim. His work immediately reminded us of our most unobtrusive Soviet service. Tourists were clearly a hindrance to his work. This is probably why he subconsciously avoided them: he was late for appointments, did not stand out from the background at a meeting, and on the day of departure he managed to forget two tourists at the hotel, and everyone had to go back, reaching almost to the airport. As a result, in 20 minutes. before departure, we just stood in a huge queue for passport control. We flew away safely only because the flight was delayed by about half an hour (apparently because of us).
Nutrition. Huge variety and all very tasty. Lots of fruits and vegetables. A lot of people write about baking. But not only pastries are tasty here, but also any dish. Perhaps, only natural juices were not enough. The fruit drinks had an overtly synthetic taste.
Territory. Very large and green area. Everything is flowering. In the evening, the lighting is very beautiful.
Animation. The animation was, including in Russian, but I can’t evaluate it, because we went to the sea very early, went to bed early and hardly saw the animation. There just wasn't enough energy for everything. As well as the gym, table tennis, etc.
