Sharm El Sheikh, bay , Beach Albatros Sharm - Beach Albatros Sharm 4*
second time in egypt Me, wife and daughter 7 and 2 years old.
arrived at 22.00 local time, found the bus, on the way the Arab grabbed my suitcase after my question where the buses were and allegedly carried him to the bus, barely pulled the suitcase out of his paws, after which he asked for 20 dollars for help. They gave us a dollar and left to look for a transfer stop. arrived in 20 minutes.
In the hotel for 20-30 minutes, kind Arabs found a room.
the room was two-room with an additional living room on the first floor of a one-story building. it seemed to me that the location was unsuccessful. far from the sea, I wanted to be in the first line. I tried to bargain, but the price tag for 20-40 dollars a day for 14 days was not agreed upon by my wife and the children were already asleep. decided to stay.
In the morning we found a restaurant, the food was tasted on the first day to select the appropriate menu. the choice pleased in comparison with hurghada safaga beach 4 **** 2011, although I liked it there too.
Territory
large, beautiful at the restaurant, beautiful paths, gazebos, a line along the edge of the cliff all in armchairs for admiring the bay, several pools, playgrounds (weak), only swings and a slide. Palm lawn flowers.... See photos on the Internet there are many.
The food is a children's menu, soups, a dietary table, everything is boiled without salt, I don’t eat that. Sausages meat, omelettes, a huge amount of pastries, . I ate mainly tomatoes, cucumbers, omelettes, meat - turkey, chicken, beef, in an Italian restaurant I tried pasta and their people, but decided to stay in traditional cuisine for a Russian person. fruit jelly juices are quite edible.
Beach:
the entire line of the coast is a rocky bottom - a smoothed rock with burrows of corals with a mass of shells and other things. near the center, next to the restaurants, everything was done very early, we didn’t get up so early (((. Our compatriots came to the beach from other hotels, apparently by agreement. the kids were even more comfortable.
As it turned out, if you go further along the coast, a wild beach begins, very beautiful rocks, large stones, washed mini grottoes, I saw a huge moray eel at 10-20 meters deep there, my wife saw a healthy manta at a depth, she jumped out of the water in feelings waist-deep and reported about this to me (then she swam very quickly to the shore and with huge eyes talked for a long time about its size and details). the fauna in the water is striking in its richness, you swim under you innumerable shells near the shore, all are alive and close when approached. I wanted to pick up beautiful shells at a depth, someone chopped them up, when I dived I noticed a hole nearby and an octopus sat in it when he saw me, he changed color to red. I decided not to tempt fate and did not pick up beautiful bitten shells. if he chewed them, then it is better not to mess with him. The shells are 2 cm thick, mother-of-pearl and very beautiful.
for two weeks we ate, swam, went to the city to the market, walked, the city is friendly, many tourists calmly went shopping.
In the early days for our daughter, we went looking for baby food. She refused to eat local, they found vegetable purees like our "agush", the city is quite normal, in Safaga for example (Hurghada). (going out to the city in Safaga seemed terrifying, I felt some kind of wild poverty and chaos, a lot of people, we immediately got into the car and went to the hotel).
Sea:
the fish are huge, all baited, swimming around like soup.
There are a lot of hedgehogs at the bottom, you need to be careful and don’t enter the water without shoes, there are a lot of shells, a lot of minks, and in each of them there is a hedgehog. One hedgehog was thrown ashore, it was brought to the room in a glass,
in fresh water, he immediately died. dried it and brought it home.
Near the shore there were some old "worms" with brown stripes, judging by the brochure, this needle fish is very dangerous and poisonous; they met there quite often. in one place there were fish that made a nest in corals and when approaching them, the fish protected the nest and bit the vacationers. I bit off a piece of skin from a friend, a piece of fabric from a slipper from my wife. I bumped into daddy's sole (I was lucky) and I swam away from there. Crabs lived on the rocky shore of the pier. It turns out that the holes that appear on the beach every morning make crabs. I myself saw how a crab drags sand with ticks.
There is something to see.
Service:
the Arabs in their style flirted as best they could, in my presence to my wife they very carefully made compliments and always smiled from ear to ear. Daughters were given flowers, played and came off on them. Even one waiter was thanked with a tip, he entertained his youngest daughter as best he could every day. The rooms were cleaned every day. Tipping was left at two dollars, then they became one at a time. Everything was always removed. The cleaner was so annoying, he always came before we left and left before we arrived, apparently he wanted additional rewards. He made bouquets of figures from towels. and we were polite to him.
if we go to egypt then most likely to sharm el sheikh.
if we don’t find a better hotel, then maybe again in the albatross.
