We rested at the beginning of December.
It all started unimportantly thanks to the tour operator TPG who, having bought the charter, redirected it to another flight, as a result of which we were provided with a plane instead of 3 00 in the morning at 2.00 in the evening. so we spent the first day of our vacation at the airport and arrived in Egypt a day later than indicated on the ticket.
But still, after admiring the beautiful views of Istanbul and Cairo, we landed at the airport of Sharmalsheikh. With customs, everything is just a Sinionli stamp, which gives you a free stay in Sharmalsheikh, as well as the opportunity to visit Israel and Jordan. The transfer delivered to the hotel. On the way, the sight of Sharma was saddened. He has not been here for four years, and the view of more than half of the hotels without electricity and without tourists is depressing (crisis). At the hotel, the passports were taken from the entire group at the reception and, according to the design, they were given magnetic keys to the rooms, there was no talk of giving money for the room. As a result, we got a wonderful room of two rooms (for a family of 3 people) in each flat-screen TV, refrigerator and other necessary furniture, plus access to its own veranda. And the main bonus is free wi-fi right in the room, maybe not the fastest, but Skype is enough.

The territory of the hotel is large, green, well-groomed. Its free water park, football, volleyball courts, a dozen and a half pools, two of which are heated, which greatly pleased the child. In the evenings, performances, fire shows, birthday celebrations are arranged. At the pool and on the beach water aerobics. The hotel itself is full, if not completely enough. Almost all of the tourists from Ukraine are not Arabs, and in this regard, everything is fine.
The beach has its own large sandy bar with free food and drinks. Located under a cliff in a bay 15 minutes walk from the hotel, for those who find it difficult to walk, a bus runs to go down to the beach with elevators, so everything is convenient here. There are no animals on the beach, but you can sunbathe and swim with children. To see the corals, you need to walk along the path to the left for 5-7 minutes to an unequipped beach and enjoy the coral reef there. (the use of slippers such as "coral" is mandatory because hedgehogs are found at every step). The coral is old and more beautiful, but it is protected from the wind by a bay and for the period of winds that occur in winter it is quite calm and good here. There are fish.
The food is decent. Constantly fruit melons, oranges, pomegranates, dates, etc. give meat, chicken, boiled fish, barbecue.
There are french fries and baked potatoes and peppered soups on the menu, etc. We weren’t hungry, although we missed the borscht. Well, cola juice sprites throughout and for free. Sometimes they even indulged in hazel grouses or cookies with strawberries.
In the evenings we went to the "old city" (20 minutes on foot or 1 dollar taxi (taxi drivers ask for 2 but go for 1). ). There, as expected, the market souvenirs fruit. In the same place, they took excursions at the agency "at VOVA" in front of the entrance to the bazaar, a double ATV cost 15 dollars. a trip to Jerusalem 70. It is clear that the agent from TPG offered the same excursions one and a half times more expensive, although at customs in Israel everyone transfers to Israeli buses to fill who gets where, regardless of where the tour was bought.
Nothing is more memorable in Israel than going through customs.

a thorough interview, do you have any acquaintances, where do you work, why do you go with screening of mobile phones (democracy). And a little something wrong. all entry is denied without explanation. The fact that there the money for the tour is paid or the hotel is far away, they do not care. Such is the visa-free regime. Of our three buses of 50 people, 15 were not allowed in. Then a taxi awaits them for $ 40 and to the hotel. Well, we have the Dead Sea, dawn, silence, beauty, and the temperature of 17 degrees in the water is a little warmer, so not everyone swam. A trip to Bethlehem and Jerusalem with a visit to the main Christian temples and the Wailing Wall. In general, the tour was a success, though not for everyone.
In general, the holiday was a success, the hotel is excellent. there was always something to do vacation passed quickly sorry for the stolen day by the TPG tour operator, if possible, bypass it, I think tours can be ordered from other more impressive agencies.
