Tour for two from 02.11. 10-17.11. 2010 (15 nights), Soft Al food, bought in St. Petersburg from TourLight LLC on Ligovsky, AnexTour LLC tour operator (only Anex carries tourists to Delta Sharm). Vouchers were paid, air tickets and documents were supposed to be picked up later, with a flight "there" they deceived, instead of the promised 5 hours. morning, got tickets for 20h. 30m, eventually departed at 22h. 30m. (flight delay), flew back without problems, flight at 10h. 10m. 17.11. 10 - in the end, Anex stole 2 days of rest, and as it turned out later, this is the norm for them! As I wrote earlier, we had Soft All food (yellow bracelet), that is, everything is included, but without alcohol, we took it on purpose, because. it is impossible to drink local liquor in principle, no matter what you take, whiskey or beer, everything is locally produced, for example, take our worst beer, open it, let it breathe, add a couple of tablespoons of sugar and drink!! ! I advise you to buy alcohol in Dutifri, which we did, you can import it into Egypt as much as you like (bought in Dutifri), we took three bottles of whiskey 1.0l (15 euros - the third bottle as a gift), martini bianco 1.5l (costs 13 euros ) - 3 bottles and Heineken beer 12 cans of 0.33 l each (11 euros) - made cocktails, enough until the end of the vacation (we spent about 3 thousand rubles). Take as many cigarettes as you can take away (a pack of Egyptian Marlboro costs $2 there, women's menthol $3-4). Upon arrival at the airport, do not go through security screening, nothing will be taken away !! ! The flight was 4.5 hours, buy a visa for $ 15 and fill out a migration card (full name, date of birth, nationality, hotel) put a stamp and go on the bus! The bus is large and comfortable, met by the representative of Aneks - Anna, from the airport to the Delta 15 minutes drive. We checked in at the reception for about 30 minutes, gave out the keys to the room, a map of the territory and yellow cards (they are needed to get towels at the pool), then they took us to our room in a small car, got house number 80, number 101 (80/101), tiny a room on the 1st floor, without a balcony, with a view of a blank wall, a kind of kitchen pencil case and a bathroom with a crowd of ants, we went back to the reception, we were told to come by 15 o'clock, your Anex's representative will be with him and you will solve the issue of resettlement. We arrived at the appointed time, the representative girl was named Olga, put the keys on the table and said that this did not suit us and we would not live in this room, the problem was solved in an hour and we got a studio room with a balcony and an individual exit not far from reception No. 196/110 (about 30 meters a room with a large kitchen, refrigerator, kettle, stove, extractor hood, cups, spoons, everything is in working order), individual air conditioning, TV, other furniture, bathroom, there are no bathtubs as such anywhere, corners with curtains, there was no safe, they asked for it, they brought it the next day. Remember, there is no need to yell, squeal and stomp your feet, it makes no sense, but also defend your lawful !! ! Olesya didn’t go to a meeting with the representative of Aneks, and those who went didn’t learn anything useful, they only sold trips to trips! Voobshche-that the hysterical, rude and absolutely not necessary girl!! ! We ate at the Femeli restaurant, breakfast from 7:00 to 10:00, lunch from 12:30 to 14:30, dinner from 19:00 to 22:00, every Thursday dinner at the main pool (we got to the show program, super, I advise! ), food really monotonous - rice, french fries, potato pie, pasta, cereals, scrambled eggs, variously cooked chicken, meat, fish, crabs, vegetables and vegetable salads are enough, but not tasty, from sweet puddings and something similar to a cake, fruits well very little - melon, grapes, agave, dates (sometimes completely green), tea, coffee, local yuppies (do not drink), as well as fanta, cola, etc. , they will not bring themselves, call the waiter, in general, as they wrote many will not stay hungry, it is cooked with high quality, and our smoked sausage will still be a dream!! ! Went for a continental breakfast at Friends' - sucks, dry bun and coffee. I didn’t have stomach problems at all, but a friend’s every day, imodium didn’t help, I advise Ersefuril (for diarrhea and dysbacteriosis), it removes like a hand! There are really 12 pools, depth min. 90cm, max. 1.40 cm, there are enough sunbeds for everyone, keep in mind if you take a yellow card, you won’t use this pool again that day, you took drinks and beer with you, no one forbade them to drink there, I was especially pleased with the pool at Femeli - a huge jacuzzi , water temperature + 35C, looking after the pool you need to ask to turn it on (pliz jacuzzi) and bastards as much as you want! All pools are "closed" at 17h - it's already getting dark, drunken bathing is not allowed. Vacationers are Americans, British, Italians and Russians. Guys learn the language, at least elementary phrases, sometimes you are ashamed of your compatriots! The main pool for those who like to "burn off", music, hookah (shisha), karaoke, drinking until 23:00. The territory is approximately 1.5X1.5 km huge, there is no such greenery anywhere else in Egypt, there is expanse for couples with children, if you want to take a walk, if you want to go to the playground, the child can be sent to a kindergarten (we lived next to a kindergarten), according to there is a living fence around the perimeter and a security guard every 50 meters day and night, you can’t see or hear the locals, there is a fitness room, a clinic, a dentist’s office, spa procedures - everything is paid. As someone wrote they drive cars! I do not agree! Speed ​ ​ bumps are everywhere, the speed limit is 20 km / h, in general, complete nonsense, lies! You will always find a place for "romance". Three beaches are declared - Delta, Terrazina, Elhema, we only went to the Delta, a really very small beach, probably 50x50 meters, all inclusive does not work here! We took food and drink with us - there were no problems. The water is clean, there are a lot of fish (take bread from the dining room and take pictures), sandy slippers are practically not needed, a cover for underwater shooting in the market opposite the entrance to the beach costs 80 pounds, a coral reef is 30 meters from the shore. You can walk along the coast anywhere. Free bus to the beach at 9h. 9.30h, 10h, back at 13.30h, 15.30h (yellow cards and free tickets from the reception are not needed), buses are small for 20 people, and there are a lot of people who want to, they don’t stand up and don’t try, they will drop you off on the next one! We didn’t get nervous, we drove a local minibus (a blue and white minibus), the cost per person is 1 pound, or a taxi (a blue and white passenger car) costs $ 2, they will ask you not to agree anymore - they are bred, it’s checked! They are like dirt! You can catch both of them at the exit (road) from the hotel (where the towers are), do not use the services of city taxi representatives, they charge 3-4 dollars (they sit at the exit under an awning). Someone wrote that it takes 30 minutes to get to the beach, the question is, have you been there at all? Timed 5-7 minutes, at a speed of 50-60 km / h. By the way, at the entrance to the territory there are a lot of shops, hairdressers, a pizzeria, an Internet salon (keyboards, etc. in any language), a laundry, a pharmacy, a bank (to the right of the entrance), it is difficult to catch a banker....open from about 11.30 to 12.30, the rate is 1 dollar 5.73 pounds, opposite the Delta beach there is Western Union (for those who are unlucky), there are two ATMs on the territory, at the entrance and at the reception, in Arabic and English, so take better cash, dollars in small bills and change immediately with a bigger banker, it’s better to pay in pounds in a store, because they have a dollar worth 5 pounds, the Internet costs 20 pounds for 1 hour, the only store in the Delta with imported beer (Heineken) is called Maxim Drink 0.5l 10 pounds (cheaper nowhere to be found). Next bus to Naama Bay at 18h, back at 20.30, there is absolutely nothing to do there a bunch of shops and sticky Arabs (taxi costs 2 dollars !!! ), bus to the Old Town (they call the old market) at 18.30h, back to 21h, this is a big fruit market and other souvenir rubbish (taxi there 2 dollars, charge back 6 dollars, settle for a ceiling of 3 dollars! they’ll take you anyway) reminds us of our Aprazhka, only dirtier. Remember to agree on a price before boarding, give the money right away, if at the end of the trip they will push for an extra charge, feel free to scare the tourist police (they encountered it themselves), believe me, all questions will disappear, they are afraid of her like fire! All free buses depart from the reception. There is no animation, and there are no people who want to. Excursions are best taken at the main pool near Titu, he speaks Russian well (Cairo $ 50, St. Catherine's Monastery - $ 30, etc. ). I advise you to buy a mosquito repellent, the locals do not squeak and bite painlessly, then you itch all over, the OFF spray solved the problems, you can sit on the balcony as much as you like! They clean the room well, linen and towels are changed every other day, I advise the girls to take shampoo and soap with them, free shampoo and gel sucks, and it's expensive to buy (put it in your luggage, there are no restrictions). The servants are not annoying, they are not imposed, Natasha, Natasha will not be heard (the owner of the complex is Italian, they conduct trainings on this topic so that vacationers are not bothered). As a result of impressions, the sea, the mood is excellent, and after looking at the tiny territories of 5 * hotels, we do not regret at all that we took a tour to the Delta! If you are not an English queen, don't hesitate to buy! But remember the Arabs, although they always smile, they are wolves in sheep's clothing!! ! Good luck everyone, any questions? Write! Lena, Denis.
