In Egypt for the third time. We try to travel in different directions. We went here because of the untouched corals and turtles, which turned out to be rare. About the hotel. The hotel is a solid four, everything is on the level. Vacationers are mostly Italians. When they write that Russians behave like pigs somewhere, now I understand why, because there are a lot of us there. The Italians behave the same way when they are in the majority there. They also get drunk and also lack culture. In short, we are all the same. From the airport they sent a taxi for us, it was spacious and comfortable. We went from Tez Tour. It took three hours from Hurghada. One stop to buy water, where they tried to sell us 1 liter of water for 25 dollars. At the reception, just in case, they gave 20 dollars. We saw animators only when light snacks were brought to the bar before dinner, hungry animators, without leaving, devoured a sandwich one by one. Prices in shops are high, obviously not for souvenirs. The food is usual for Egypt. But for lovers of sweets, pastries, expanse. There is always something new for lunch and dinner. There are many reviews from readers before the trip that there are frequent storms. Maybe we were lucky, but out of 14 days we only saw a yellow flag, the rest of the time it was white, although sometimes a decent wave rose. but it’s not very convenient to take pictures, it’s quite deep. In some places you can only reach out with your hand. There is enough livestock - large, but I repeat, we went after turtles, but the reef is a solid wall, not for grazing turtles at all. But after driving half an hour to Abu Dabab Bay ($40), you can take your soul away. Turtles are huge and a large number.
The staff was pleasantly pleased when I forgot my shorts on the beach, in my pocket 40 pounds, then after discovering the loss after a day and a half I thought not to look. They changed the towels and said they immediately brought it, asked to count the money.
We went to Luxor, it was rather tiring. 6 hours (90 dollars). It was hot, only when we returned to the bus could we breathe. To the left of the hotel a couple of kilometers, an old ship, it takes a long time to walk, although it seems that it is nearby. To the right is a neighboring hotel, they are not allowed to go there. In general, I liked everything, most likely we will not return here, but only because Egypt is big. We decided for ourselves that 14 days is a lot for relaxation, a maximum of 10-12. I advise the hotel for those seeking solitude.
