We arrived on 10/18/2017 in the morning. Had to wait 3 hours before check in, but that's ok. We hung bracelets and went for a walk using all the privileges of the hotel. Bars open from 10:00 for soft drinks and from 11:00 for alcohol and ice cream. The beach is closed by a gate, you can get there only from 7 in the morning and you can be there until sunset. Then everyone is expelled from the beach and the gates are closed. Wildness!!!! ! It is clear that they are not responsible after sunset. But I myself give an account that it will be my fault in case of a problem at sea after sunset. What if I just want to sit on the pier and look at the sea at night? Haven't seen this anywhere else. Next. . . The next day meeting with the guide (Ahmed). As usual, he said the general rules for 15 minutes, and then he began to sell excursions. He told how he sang the song. As a result, to put it mildly, bullshit is complete. Part of our team went to Jerusalem. We were kept at the border for a long time. Although other groups missed quickly. Well, already in Israel, everything had to be done quickly there. Let's go quickly here, quickly there. And be sure to visit this store. Everything is sold as usual at high prices and waiting for a rollback from the seller. Do not be fooled by such divorces, do not go to the store where the guide brought you. Booked a quad bike safari. $25 for a double room for two. The crowd was about 40 people. The units are old, 2 people can hardly fit there. Some smoke so much that there is nothing to breathe behind us. The guide promised 2 hours we will only ride. FUG! 20 minutes ride, stood in the mountains for 20 minutes to listen to the echo. Then we went to the Bedouin type of tea to drink. There they sold cola for loot, etc. Night fell and they drove to the base through the desert and not a flat road. I had to slow down for 50 meters in front of the ATV in front (it smoked not like a child), I was suffocating. As a result, the guide said that we would only ride, but in the end we also had to spend money on souvenirs, cola, etc. It would be nothing if there weren't such a crowd. Dust from the former covered the latter. Nothing was visible. The next excursion is a trip to the coral reserve on a boat with underwater windows that did not convey the full beauty of the reefs due to muddy windows. Although he promised a transparent floor. And he also said that there would be only from our hotel and no more than 50 people. As a result, they recruited about 100 people from different hotels. Fortunately, the ship accepted everyone. He promised a seafood lunch, such as crabs, squids, shrimp. There were only squid with vegetables in proportion - 20% squid, and everything else was stewed vegetables. BUT! there was also some kind of stewed fish, but very spicy, and soup with some kind of fish, and then everything was as usual. Beer was offered for loot 3 bucks per 0.25 liter. In the old city, you can buy this for less than 1 buck. A bunch of grandmothers with screaming grandchildren. In short, only a reef with clear water pleased. Let's go further.
Beach! Endless labyrinths-serpentines to get to the sea. But there is a choice. Either you are closer to the sea, or closer to amenities. The beach itself is so to say multi-level. There are levels and sublevels. The first few days you can get lost. The room where we were was coupled and between them there were doors that could be closed from our side. You could visit without going outside. Linen was not changed for 5 days until the high was raised. The safe in one room did not work, although I said on the second day that it needed to be fixed, but they did not fix it upon departure. The water was also not replenished until he barked. Breakfasts are the same - scrambled eggs, potatoes, some beans, yoghurts, buns, juices such as yupi, coffee, sausages made of rubber. lunch and dinner are more edible. Fruits at this time are modest and none - the melon is not ripe, sometimes there is no watermelon, oranges, in the morning pomegranates for yogurt. There is one bar in the lobby, I don’t remember the name, there is billiards, and so it’s so quiet, calm and pleasant to sit there that the soul rejoices. But it works from 19:00. They have billiards for snooker. There is a pool with sea water, but I never got to it. I'm guessing she's just pissed off. There are water slides. but they are in need of repair. Bottom line - of all the hotels in Egypt, this is the worst I've been to. I HIGHLY don't recommend going there!
