In general, we didn’t choose a hotel, our friends first bought a tour to it in advance, and we were two days before departure and much cheaper, if not for these two conditions, we would never have flown to windy Nabka. They settled us in about forty minutes, they gave us a room with a great view of the pool, it is certainly old, renovation would not hurt for a long time, there is rust on the taps, a refrigerator with a layer of dust, the furniture is even less, but the truth was there were no breakdowns, lucky by some miracle. It was a short walk to the beach. I really liked it, big, small pebbles, as I like, something like Turkish beaches, I don’t like sand. The sea is naturally shallow, we swam only from the pier, when of course there was no wind and it was not cold, keep this in mind. Before lunch, it's usually windy, and after three hours it's already getting dark, but surprisingly still tanned. We did not meet any super corals, and there are not very many fish. In terms of nutrition, everything is even, we had enough of everything, side dishes and vegetables are the same every day, but meat and chicken dishes change, good pastries in the morning, desserts in the evening are so-so. We took alcohol with us, but from the hotel we drank only beer. There is animation in the hotel, but during the day we did not go. In general, we had such a schedule, we went to bed very late, sometimes we didn’t even go to breakfast, because we woke up at lunch and in general didn’t lose anything, there’s nothing special to do at sea, but of course it won’t work with children. In the evening they arrange different shows, everything is for everyone, whoever is in Egypt for the first time may still like it. They went to the city almost every day, they caught a taxi, or rather they themselves stopped outside the hotel, for example they gave 5-6 dollars to the Old Market, once they bargained for four, with friends in half, which is generally not expensive. We went to the Market mainly for inexpensive seafood, which the hotel does not have and close, often they took them ready-made with them. We bought slippers for swimming, so it’s more convenient to walk along the bank and on the water. Yes, and not expensive sweets, you can buy oriental sweets by weight, real ones, with different nuts, for example, in a hotel and there is no such thing either. Local sim cards were bought at the airport, because we knew that we would spend a lot of time outside the hotel, but if we only sit in it , then you can probably do without it. I would rather refrain from recommendations, I can’t say that our vacation didn’t work out, we got everything we wanted, especially considering the cost of the trip.
