Returned 03/29/09. Weather from 10 days stay 6 - super, 4 days until 10 am cool and windy. I didn't have a thermometer so I can't say for sure. On the beach on the board they write + 25-27 air and + 20-22 water. We take warm clothes, especially in case of an excursion to Jerusalem (people in shales on their bare feet looked funny and pitiful in the rain and + 12 in the heat of the day). Swim in the Dead Sea - it's warm. 100 km in a straight line from Jerusalem, and the climate is completely different,... however!! ! We also take a set of medicines recommended by tour operators, including general antibiotics (axiom).
And now about the good. The hotel is a full 4 stars. Russian... understanding servants. Vacationers 70-80% of the CIS. Accommodation is intelligible, up to 30 minutes. Paid for a sea view. They offered to choose from the available. I paid extra $30 for 10 nights and were satisfied (building A, room 309, to the right of the amphitheater, this is between the sea and the main restaurant). Heated swimming pool is also near Ch. restaurant. Landscaping of the territory -4, but they are trying. Near another Rotana 5 stars. (through the fence literally) and admire the non-bald palm trees for free. Entrance is allowed and the use of the extreme beach with your own towels too. I emphasize Rotana Tiran - 4 stars, but on the first line !!! ! Yes, more! I found out about the neighboring construction site only a few days later, when I decided to go around the territory. There are no windows on it. Located behind a fence. At least it didn't bother me!
We were 3 people.
All inclusive. Meals - 5, for spoiled gourmets - 4. There is enough meat and enough. Freshly squeezed juice - $ 1 (in other hotels and $ 2 and 3). Most people liked red dry wine. They brought brandy and champagne with them. celebrated 2 birthdays plus sometimes at night, on the balcony with a cigar just right!!!
See the forums for the rules of communication with Arab waiters. In a nutshell, if your company has at least one person with a sense of humor and / or sociable, then everyone else at the table can be deaf and dumb, with guaranteed fast and high-quality service. Watch them on the first day of your stay.
Do not change (! ) the service area of your chosen waiter.
Animation - similar to the pioneer camp, I agree with the previously expressed opinion, but I liked a few numbers during the concerts, as it turned out, these were artists invited from other clubs.
Sea and corals - 5. Mask (selicone) and snorkel at the hotel 20 dollars, in Naama Bay - 10. Fish and corals are no worse than what I saw on the so-called bathyscaphe (the guide has 50 dollars from the salesman on our beach was brought down to $ 38. this is with delivery from the hotel and back).
Excursions to Jerusalem ($170 including visa) and Cairo ($75) for everyone who is in Egypt for the first time - MANDATORY!! ! The buses are new and comfortable, even to Cairo with two armed guards on board, but the excursion can be difficult for children. I recommend signing up with a guide on the first day. If you have a guide Ihab (Turtess), be vigilant and demand confirmation from him on the eve of the time of departure and, most importantly, the fact that your person is on the list, even after payment. This is his SMS message and / or letter to the room. Make sure you have a phone number with him. connection (not a phone number, but a connection !!!! ). For rules of conduct with souvenir merchants, especially in Palestine, and for camel riding in Cairo, see the relevant forums.
The same applies to purchases at a perfume factory (at least perfumes) and jewelry.
To Naamu Bay, 2 flights free of charge: there 11-00, back 13-00.16:00 there, back 20:00. We go to the old city from Naama Bay, by minibus for 2 dollars. maximum for three. Do not be late back to Naama Bay by 20 o'clock, otherwise just a taxi.
Look at natural papyrus (for yourself) at the papyrus factory in Cairo, and buy from Alexander (aka Ahmed) in a boutique on the territory of Rotana Tiran! Cheaper. Significantly cheaper. By the way, the factory will show you how to distinguish a fake from a natural papyrus. . . and already knowingly returning to Akhmed (aka Sasha), you will be able to calmly choose the masterpiece of papyrus writing you need with a sense of pride in your own awareness.
