Hello.
My name is Andrey. Vacationing abroad for the first time. Prior to that, he rested only in the Crimea as a savage. I don't know, maybe because it's really the first time, that's why I liked it?
Rested from 18.04 to 26.04. 2009, I had HalfBoard (only breakfast and dinner). Breakfast - you could eat everything plus drinks (except alcohol). For dinner - only food (no drink at all). Since I still want to drink, I brought 5 liters of water with me (I knew that it was expensive there). For breakfast, I drank as much as possible (in reserve) and, plus, I took an empty half-liter bottle with me to the restaurant and poured their drink there. As a result, he lived like this for 9 days, only at the end he still had to buy their water (1.5 liters - $ 2).
Of course, everyone has their own needs. But if you have them more modestly, then two meals a day is the very thing. I repeat, the only thing worth considering with two meals a day is drinking. As for getting satiated - I did it very well.

Breakfast is always the same (always). Beans, some strange potatoes, soy sausage, scrambled eggs, leftover pastries from dinner, different salads, different cheeses. Two types of drinks, tea, coffee. Looks like I didn't forget anything.
For breakfast, to tell the truth, I couldn’t get enough to eat (namely, to eat), but eating well is yes.
Dinner – well, for dinner the choice is (in my opinion) huge. Always fresh fruits (dates, melons, oranges), however, fruits are not enough, that is, it is better to get yourself from the beginning, otherwise you may not get it later. I will not even make a choice of second courses, because it is always different and large. It was for dinner that I ate to satiety. In general, I had no problems with food. Here is a drink, I had to save. Yes, their dates are not the same as they sell here. When I went there, I read the reviews of our visitors and one lady wrote that they soak dates in water in order to reduce their attractiveness to vacationers and consumption. When I first tried their dates, I got exactly the same impression. But, after a few days, I had an idea to buy real Egyptian dates at the bazaar!! ! I went and bought exactly the same dates, and concluded that most likely those dates that are sent to us are soaked in syrup (otherwise how to explain such a difference in sweetness), and then dried. So don't be surprised by their dates!! ! This is us eating already processed dates!!
Sea - 35 minutes to the sea there, 50 minutes back, because you need to go back uphill and plus you are tired. But there is a free shuttle bus every hour from the hotel back and forth, so you can adjust. Of course, it is difficult to call it a sea, because they dug a kind of lagoon, but you can swim there without fear that you will step on a hedgehog and go into the sea without special shoes. Because, where there are corals, you won’t go into the sea without special shoes. And here is clean good sand, the only minus of this lagoon is that there is no open sea, but you see the opposite shore. Experienced people said that in 2008 the beach was in a different place and therefore, in order to look at the fish and corals, they had to make their way through other boarding houses, where they drove other people's vacationers. But that beach was a 20 minute walk from the hotel. Now the beach is further away, however, there is a huge plus in this - to see fish and corals, you absolutely do not need to wade through other beaches, because the beach 2009 is located on the edge of this lagoon and if you walk 200 meters, you get to the so-called "wild beach", where you can get all the pleasures of contemplating the underwater kingdom for a free price!!!!

As for diving trips to the islands, I will say the following. I went to Tiran Island for $25 and didn't see anything for that price that I didn't see for free on a wild beach. Although they promised underwater turtles and possibly dolphins. I did not see either one on the island of Tiran. I don't know, maybe it would have been better on the island of Ras Mohammed. In short, I will not go to Tiran again. On this wild beach I saw squid, octopus, starfish, whole flocks of barracudas, moray eels, Napoleon fish, parrot fish, hedgehog fish and a bunch of other fish.
About tickets. The choice of any agency is very large. The cheapest vouchers can be bought from Vera, who is located immediately, as soon as you cross the road, when you enter their famous bazaar, where there are a lot of different domes. Finding it is not easy because there are no signs. But if you ask a little, you can find. However, the same trips are always $5 cheaper from local dude Jimmy, who runs an on-site shop. Everything is honest with him, without cheating. I took a tour from him to Tiran Island for 25 dollars and a trip to the pyramids for 40. So I recommend contacting him about tours. There is no deception.
In general, I was satisfied with the rest in Egypt from and to, which is what I wish you.
