We went to Egypt for the first time, a family of 2 adults, 3 children (2.10 and 13 years old). The review is fresh, nothing has been forgotten yet.
Flight - there - aero suite Boeing, nothing special, upon arrival I was embarrassed by the number of people, but they paid extra $ 5 per nose and received visas without a queue
Departure - aero suite rented an "Akhmetov" airbus, very good, they fed better and flew an hour faster, there were problems back and forth with a boarding pass for an infant, the airline works sloppily

Hotel - I chose based on comments on the Internet, a little disappointed, it does not pull 5 stars unequivocally for furniture and repairs for 4 stars maximum. the courtyard is beautiful, the servants are normal, they left them a dollar every day, when they settled they gave 20 dollars, but they could have given a better room, and even more than an hour they waited until the luggage was brought into the room....the food is normal, they didn’t go hungry, the children liked it, especially french fries, they don't need much : -). They cook delicious, even ordinary dishes, periodically something new is added.
When there was a mass arrival of Russians instead of the British, an announcement appeared - "do not take out the products! " in Russian - but nothing, they took oranges and water for children without problems, and also rolls for fish...
The weather is perfect, the best time....
The rest was active, we immediately took excursions for all days
in short-
crocodile show and snake show - children are interested
dolphinarium - late, blocked the road, their president was driving (just like ours! ), Tez tour (thank you! ) - returned the money and apologized
water park - I don’t advise more than once, it’s boring, there are not very many slides, they took the fruit at the entrance! they left water and fed badly, a disgusting copy of McDonald's, I also got some kind of twitchy guide, he was always in a hurry somewhere and you can’t keep up with children
super moto safari - everything is not bad BUT I don’t advise eating, it’s unhygienic among the Bedouins, there are a lot of flies, they could have chosen something better for lunch, anyway there wasn’t much exotic, but they rode the camels from the heart
excursion to cairo - very cool - excellent guide, the museum is very interesting, well, the pyramids and the sphinx, too, but the museum is super!
colored canyon - didn't make a strong impression live, although some pictures turned out to be very good. . . perhaps because of the road and transport for extreme people! On jeeps, on a washboard, it was the shortest of all to get sick in an instant, it’s uncomfortable to sit, there’s nothing to hold on to, there are a lot of people like for a jeep, in general, not very good impressions, the food is so-so....
bathyscaphe - it's fun to look at the fish and corals for those who cannot dive for any reason... well, it's interesting for children!
boat trip to the coral islands - excellent! I advise everyone, sea, air, sun - a very good rest!

Fishing - all the same as a boat trip plus fishing! We caught one fish, but a big one (relatively but about 800 gr), the children are delighted, adults too! Everything that the team caught, the chef cleaned and fried, so they also ate....
We went to the old year - nothing special, bought halva, and in general was surprised by the lack of oriental sweets, maybe they didn’t know where to look, in Beirut, for example, they are full of them for every taste.
In general, I liked it, but in the nearest future we won’t go to Egypt, it’s not interesting to repeat, maybe we’ll try something else...
