Помойка garbage can

I will probably repeat a lot, but I will add something.
1. ROAD TO THE HOTEL
They waited for a long time at the exit from the airport, it turned out that in the dark, tourists were taken to Sinai in a convoy of several buses, a military jeep with an open body was in front, and military men with machine guns were sitting in it with their backs to each other. The Egyptians do not advertise this, but in fact, groups of militants are hiding in the Sinai desert and from time to time make themselves felt. Literally yesterday, on October 19.2014, a group of 7 military men blew up in the north of Sinai. Many tourists do not see or hear anything, but this does not mean that it is not there.
2. SETTLEMENT

We arrived at the hotel at night, settled immediately without money. The rooms are all the same in the hotel, there is no difference. The room was clean, everything worked. There are no complaints about the number. The hotel consists of 3 identical buildings, which stand in a semicircle. Four-digit room number: for example 321.3 is the building number, 2 is the floor number, 15 is the room number and it turns out the third building, second floor,
15 room. Building numbers start from the sea. Many do not want to settle on the first floor, everyone constantly walks past, there is no balcony, but there are also pluses. Our friends lived on the first floor: the room is 1.5 times larger than on the 1st and 2nd floors, they liked it and nothing bothered them.
3. TERRITORY
Acquaintance with the hotel happened in the morning when we left the room and went to the restaurant for breakfast. What we saw shocked us to such an extent that we wanted to burst into tears, run away from here and generally go home: A REAL GASKET, disposable utensils, paper, crushed food were scattered everywhere..... The territory is large, they only take care of the vegetation on it, water it, cut it... Everything else is in such decline that it is necessary to close the hotel and only then can it be repaired, but it is better to do it all over again. The paths laid out with already killed tiles are apparently unwashed for several years and all in crushed dates that are layered on top of each other,
from here there are crowds of flies that are everywhere. Half of the territory is already abandoned and does not function.
4. POOLS
2 dead pools that are never cleaned, but only chlorinated, chipped tiles, dirty pool edging... When we were there, not a single tourist swam there, only Arabs in their attire. Once it was apparently beautiful there, because beautiful bowls for a waterfall were made by the pool, but everything is abandoned and makes a dull impression.
5. RESTAURANT
This is not a restaurant or even a canteen, it's an eatery....DIRT all around. The staff does not know what it is to wipe off the table, only to brush the crumbs directly onto the chairs with your hand - this is at best, but in general they do not bother with this.
6. FOOD

Those who have traveled a lot on the all-inclusive system will be shocked by what they see. Like an old Soviet sanatorium: first, second and third... only what they gave, there is no choice. Rice, pasta, pieces of chicken or beef, fish such that you bite and spit it out,
chopped cucumbers, brown tomatoes, chopped raw beets and carrots and radishes... and EVERYTHING!!!!!! ! . Oh yes: fresh melon and not ripened, oranges, dates are tasty, but not always. For dessert: dry biscuit cut into squares with a marigold. ALL! ALL! ALL!
NO SNACKS ANYWHERE DURING THE ALL DAY ON THE TERRITORY.
Only 2 bars work: on the beach and near the pool, there are only drinks
7. DRINKS:
If you want to drink - bring your own, what is poured there is not subject to the name. 100 gr. plastic cups, there are no other utensils in the hotel. If alcohol is poured, then this is 1/7 of this glass, if juice, soda and beer are poured, then 2/3. It is hard for our tourists to understand this norm, especially beer, which is drunk in liters, and there in one hand 2 incomplete glasses and goodbye.
After lunch at the bar on the beach they give ice cream, it is about 30 grams each and not tasty, and it is also not enough for everyone.
8. BEACH
You can’t argue here, many experienced people say

which is the best in Egypt. Wide, long, soft sand both on the beach and when entering the sea. If you swim with a mask, then small fish can be seen right near the shore in shallow water. The water is crystal clear, you don't want to go out....There are many beautiful fish near the pier, there are corals under the water, and in them there are sea urchins and lionfish, shoals of small fish stand like a solid wall. After dark on the pier, the backlight is turned on and the sea night life becomes visible: sea urchins crawl out, flute fish, moray eels, a flock of lionfish, squids....You can endlessly look at the night sea... a warm breeze... and in your soul unrealistically good. In general, it gets dark very early in Nuweiba, at 17-17.30 it is already dark. Somewhere at 16.00 the sun goes behind the mountain and dusk begins. After sunset, it is absolutely impossible to swim in the sea, a completely different life begins there, completely different fish climb out, this creature is felt even intuitively looking at it.
It is impossible to feed the fish from the pier, and indeed, shoals of fish come, followed by SHARKS. This is exactly what happened during our vacation. I personally saw how fish were fed from the pier and at that time I swam there with a mask and watched how different fish flocked to feed. And on the same evening, a SHARK 1-1.5 long sailed to the pier. Everyone who saw it was shocked. All the locals claimed that there had never been sharks here for many years. But everything starts somewhere.
After the SHARKS visited the shore, we entered the ox not with the same pleasure as before, and with great apprehension. THINK for yourself.
A kilometer from the hotel right along the coast, many people go diving and snorkeling, there is a coral reef and a lot of fish near the coast. Our friends went and were delighted. Local Bedouins take tourists there for little money, even swim up on a boat. But when friends saw that they were feeding fish there, so that more of them would gather, they didn’t go there anymore.
There is a nice guy on the beach who gives out towels, everyone calls him ALI. Make friends with him, he always helps everyone, regardless of whether you give him a tip or not. He says this: people paid money for the rest and it should be good. Some here are indignant that he takes up space in the morning. He borrows them for those who treat him well and you will borrow, talk to him. And if there are no places, go to him, he will definitely place you, be sure. He loves Russian tourists and wants to talk more with them and learn Russian. He is very kind and not at all conflict, he is very worried about all the skirmishes between tourists.
Yes, I also want to note that there is no toilet on the beach. ONLY ONE TOILET IN THE WHOLE TERRITORY OF THE HOTEL, in the dining room and ALL.
9. EXCURSIONS
Excursions are offered: a hotel guide, someone is walking on the beach, and on the beach near an abandoned ship (you will see), there is a Bedouin in a white dress, Ibrahim.

Unlike many Arabs, he is not at all vicious, patient and calm. Ibrahim has the cheapest excursions. We talked with tourists, they all show the same thing only for different prices. I'll tell you about our trip to ISRAEL from Ibrahim, one-day 80 dollars per person. We left the hotel at 22.00, after 1.5 hours we were at the Israeli border, we quickly passed it, on the other side we were met by a girl, put on a bus and disappeared. Let's go, we're going, no one says a word when and where we will be. As it turned out later, we were driving all the time without a guide, with a woman driver who did not understand Russian, and the guides sat down with us only at stops where it was necessary to tell. First stop at the Dead Sea - 4 o'clock in the morning, dark, very cool. The guide meets: here is the Dead Sea, undress, swim, you need to buy soap in the store for $ 5, otherwise the salt water will not wash off, you can buy more dirt to anoint yourself with $ 5. for a bag, it's better to buy three,
But two may not be enough. And she left. We approached the water: it was dark, it was cold, but the most daring undressed and went, though the water is like fresh milk, very warm. After that, you need to go out and wash off in outdoor showers with cold water, everything is perfectly washed off without soap for 5 dollars. They changed and dried themselves in dirty street changing rooms. The entire coast near the water in private tents with people who arrived as savages. There are piles of rubbish and scraps everywhere. In general, I realized that the calling card of the Arab countries is DIRT all around. On the way, the Russian guide LYUBA sat down with us - this is a separate story. With her we went to Jerusalem to the wailing wall. She spoke in an interesting and accessible way. After the wall, they went to Palestine to Bethlehem, the homeland of Jesus Christ. There is no border between Israel and Palestine in this place. Lyuba drove us to the church shop and said that you can buy everything here, you can’t buy it anywhere else. The people went to buy. My friend and I are seasoned, we didn’t take anything there,
because everything is five times more expensive. Then they paid for it, because they violated the conditions of the business, did not buy anything at the point nailed by the guides. After the shop we went to the Temple where Jesus Christ was born. There, on the street leading to the Temple, you need to buy everything, and just then when you go there, and not from there, you will not get lost, even if you linger, you will find your own in the temple. You will need: a knitting of 33 candles, how many knittings you need to bring home, think for yourself 1-1, $ 5 simple, $ 2 - scented, small wooden crosses for gifts for $ 1, a larger cross to raise to Calvary $ 2-3. Walk along this street, if they say such prices, take it quickly, it will not be cheaper. Light up everything in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, that's where if you get lost, you won't be found. We decided to buy everything after visiting the Temple in Bethlehem, we were no more than 5 minutes behind, we came to the bus stop, but it was not there. Phoned anyone
and she tells us that they say you are in a foreign country and no one will wait for you, take a taxi for your money and come to the cafe where we eat, like I told you not to buy anything on the street. Without thinking twice, we turned to the police, and when we found out who our guide was, they twisted it at the temple..... they know her there, apparently this is not the first time. We drank coffee, called a policewoman and she took us to the group. And this LOVE-CREATURE sat and smiled. Yes, the whole group asked us to wait, was indignant, but she said no. People were shocked. We decided not to deal with her, nevertheless we traveled to holy places, life will certainly deal with her later. I must say that, to be honest, almost none of our group felt special holiness, everything is done there to pump money from tourists. You can only hear Money come on, come on a dollar..... Everything has its own price: a note for the dead - 5 dollars, for health - 5 dollars.......Probably it's worth seeing it once and ticking yourself,

that you were there, but you won’t be able to get soaked in some kind of holy spirit, wherever you buy an excursion, from a hotel guide for $ 115. or Ibrahim for 80, the same thing.
Ibrahim arranges excursions cheaper. You can gather 5 or more people for 1 dollar. and he takes him to Nuweiba to the market. You tell me what you want to buy and he'll be lucky. We needed a mango, he drove to where for 2 dollars. kg, and in the hotel for 6 dollars. In general, apart from the mango from Egypt, there is nothing to bring, but you need to choose it correctly, it should not be stone or soft, it should be a little soft to the touch.
Well, it looks like I wrote everything. I probably won’t go to Egypt anymore: I love comfort, but what can you do about it. But as they say, taste and color..... We talked with tourists from other hotels, there was not a single one who was satisfied with their hotel: the consensus is dirt, poor service....I think this is due to the situation in the country, saving on everything they say it used to be better.
A lot of people in our hotel came on last-minute trips from Pegasus for little money. Pegasus was selling out tours apparently knowing everything that was going on here. With this money we rested.......BUT WE DID NOT PAY FOR DIRT. We are glad that we met good people, our company consisted of: Moscow, Odessa, Orenburg, Izhevsk. We had a friendship, the sun, a beautiful beach, the purest water, some of our own alcohol..... the rest is wonderful. THINK FOR YOURSELF!! !
