Акулий отдых Shark rest

Hi all. Rested with his wife from 22.11. 10 to 02.12. 10 In Egypt for the first time. Liked the hotel. At first I read a bunch of reviews about all kinds of hotels, until I chose this one. In principle, I liked the rest, if there was one thing, then in general it would be all at 9, but more on that at the very end. I won’t write laudatory odes, no one denies them, they are the majority, I’ll just point out minor flaws, a couple of medium ones and two O-O-O-VERY large ones. There are only two sockets in the room, one in the shower, the other in the far corner of the room, so lying on the bed with a laptop for a long time you won’t talk, even if they made another one by the mirror near the table so that you can work with a laptop while sitting. Because the animation sucks, the level of KVN of a rural vocational school and in the evening either hang around in a bar or at a disco. Since there are only 2-3 Russian channels on TV, which basically show some mediocre TV shows from morning to evening, one on channel 22, and the other on channel 40. For those who know English, there is an Action channel (logo "A" in the upper right corner ) militants are constantly going there, and this was the only way to escape. Beds are changed once a week, as it should be, in principle, okay. But since were the first time, they did not know that in order for you to change the towels every day, you just need to throw them on the floor before leaving the room in the morning. We, as decent people, hung them neatly in the shower to dry and were surprised that they didn’t change them for us, people suggested well. There are no benches on the territory to just sit in the evening under the palm trees, and not near the "Safari" bar. It is sometimes quite noisy there. Be sure to take a fumigator with you and not plates, but liquid. Their mosquitoes are small (like our basement mosquitoes), but they bite in the same way and itches the same way. In addition, silent bastards, just some kind of Arab "Stealths" Until you see them near your nose, you can't hear them at all. "Asterisk" does not hurt, it helps well after a bite. Alcohol tastes excellent, vodka is indistinguishable from ours, but there are 2 times less degrees in it, although it doesn’t taste like whiskey and beer. The service is good. Be sure to learn a dozen and a half expressions or words in Arabic. Helps a lot. They began to recognize me on the 3rd day and call me by name, after I exchanged two three phrases with them in Arabic for a couple of days, they were really happy from afar and we were pleased. I can say about the kitchen - "Super", some of course wrinkled their noses, but it seems to me that these are just people on their own. At home, they didn’t eat anything sweeter than carrots - but here they say for breakfast only sausages (two types), scrambled eggs (three types), cheese (6 types), Vegetables (6 types) fruits, really not enough for Egypt (3-4 types), pastries ( 10 types) and cakes (20-30 types). In general, the hotel chefs score 12 points, because lunch and dinner can be scheduled for another two hours.
The minus is that there is no ATM in the hotel, this is not even a minus, but just a note, because by and large it is not needed, just for every fireman. What's in the hotel, what's in the city in the course of dollars. If you want to change smaller, then go to your janitor who cleans the rooms. They receive tips in small bills and will gladly change you. No one in the city cheated, but just in case, ask for change in advance when you agree on a price. And bargain, bargain, bargain. There really isn't much to buy there. So souvenirs, oils, very beautiful women's tunics with Egyptian symbols. Slippers for walking on reefs for my wife were looked for in all stores at home, cheaper than 600 rubles. did not have. There, without bargaining, they took it for 5 bucks. A mask with a snorkel was given by friends at home, some very expensive one, they bought another one for 5 bucks - the water was passed in the same way. Whoever has a big camera, then you won’t find a box for shooting underwater. You can buy a disposable soap dish for 7-8 bucks, we took a reusable one for 15. I digitized it at home - not that. The way out is to ask friends for a small digital one for the duration of the trip. But now, after the sharks, I don’t want to climb under the water. My wife is still in shock. The shark swam 1.5 meters past her and attacked the woman 15 minutes later. The film "The jaws rest when it is in reality. The beach is not equipped with anti-shark nets, although they should have done it two years ago. The security on the beach only wringed their hands and lamented. Well, all the Russians, They bandaged themselves and beat the woman off the shark with flippers and masks after she jumped right after her onto the pontoon and grabbed her leg.
After that, the beach was closed, although the guards on the beach and at the reception said that they saw a shark on November 26, and it attacked on November 30. People in the pool, and there the water is a maximum of +18, or even less. Here are the two biggest drawbacks.

In general, the guys are doing great, BUT if they don’t hang an anti-shark net on the beach or at least start heating the water in the pool, then there’s nothing to do there.
