Хороший коралловый риф со множеством коралловых столбов вблизи берега Nice coral reef with many coral pillars near the shore

We traveled together for 10 days. this is already my 4th time in Sharm El Sheikh, so the choice of the hotel is determined not only by the price, but also by the fact that I was in the Shores Aloha and Grand Hotel hotels on this coast and sailed from there to the Le Mirage pontoon, I liked the coral and decided with it take a closer look. Tour operator Anex Tour. All without delay. We arrived around 9 am. Received wristbands, The room was given only after 12 o'clock. The pool is cold, I didn’t dare to plunge into it, so we swam on the beach. We settled in a spacious room 4072 actually above the entrance, with two beds, no balcony, but two windows overlooking the area in front of the hotel, that is, opposite from the sea, with an excellent view of the checkpoint, tennis court and football ground. It was possible to pull the rope for drying clothes to the hook screwed into the wall. As I joked, you have to go to Egypt with your own hammer drill and screwdriver. The key is an electronic card. They gave me two. The room is clean and comfortable with a bathroom. I was waiting for a set of tubes of all kinds of shampoos, gels and body milk. They are not there. At first, there was no liquid soap in the soap dishes. I contacted the receptionist. Poured. but near the washbasin the soap all leaked out and I had to substitute one glass under the liquid soap. There was no blanket. Appealed - brought. The safe is small, although we had everything fit. Once with him there was a failure, but then he again earned normally. Water can be collected in your container from the coolers of bars or in the dining room. The dining room is a bit out of the way, but that doesn't spoil it. In principle, there is always food, but there are frequent queues for lunch and dinner during opening hours. Come back in an hour and there are no lines. Didn't notice much food shortage. Of course, there may not be enough fish or fried liver, but they will bring it. Sometimes white or red wine was given for lunch and dinner. Often I had to look for spoons and forks on the tables, but these are minor expenses. In short, the dining room is good, the food is good and solid. Delicious pasta. Rice, potatoes. Meat chicken, beef, fish. Sometimes they cooked on the grill outside at the entrance. Confectionery mainly biscuit cakes and pastries. But sometimes there were also shortbread pies, eclairs and "potato" type. Melon, tangerine oranges, pomegranate. For breakfast, you can take pea porridge, boiled beans, scrambled eggs from a frying pan, pancakes with honey or jam. Three bars!! ! At reception, by the pool on the beach. An unpleasant moment is Karnak beer. It is impossible to drink - it smells like nail polish remover. I can’t say anything about the rest of the alcohol because I’m not a fan. And eating in these bars is not accepted. There are no snacks. You can only drink cola-fanta or juice from a diluted powder. Or drink tea and coffee. The pool is large but deserted. There is silence and nirvana. Give out a towel. At this time of the year, a rare guest decides to take a sober swim in cold water. But I saw some people swimming. Beach. There are 2 stairs leading from the hotel to the sea, you have to cross the road, which in itself does not spoil. The beach, of course, is not as spacious as we would like. At the entrance to the gym - you can sip the barbell and exercise equipment for free in your free time from swimming. Some sunbeds do not have mattresses. Sometimes there are not enough towels. But they will. Speakers with loud music were installed on the beach, such as for animated entertainment. Therefore, if you want peace, go to the pool. Since the beach is small, the volleyball court by the pool is not very convenient. Therefore, as a rule, they played after dinner and with their own ball. I also carried my ball. Animation. There is a team of animators 6 people. Cheerful and nice people. In the evenings at 21.30 there are always some shows and even "stars" of local amateur performances come. I really managed to go to the concert by the closing time at the "tanor", and either I'm not at the hotel anymore, or I'm already sleeping, because it's late. Sea. One of the most coral places of this coast. It is interesting to swim both to the left and to the right. Under the first pontoon, the depth is said to be about 20 meters! There are many coral pillars, cliffs and cornices near the shore. A complete set of tasks for freediving assault. Full of fish. Of the large ones, Napoleons, tuna, manta rays, stingrays, and moray eels were less common. Without a mask, snorkel, fins, I think there is nothing to do, well, unless you are a cruel freediver who rejects fins. Well, if you plan to swim for more than an hour, it would be nice to wear a suit. You can enter the sea as if on sand and then swim over the coral or from two pontoons at once to the depth. in the end, the sea is super!! ! Tourists. Basically it seems that only two nationalities are Russians and Ukrainians. But then, there are also Arab families. There are no Western Europeans, unless, of course, Ukrainians are counted. The service staff mostly tries to speak Russian. The cleaners in the rooms can brazenly beg, as we came twice on the last day, when we were clearly not up to it, asking for money. I didn’t give it to him - I didn’t clean it often, and I didn’t always change the linen. The location of the hotel. Moving away from the main streets, in fact, at a dead end, taxi drivers can bend prices up to $ 6. Although the price of a trip to the old city to the market is 20 pounds (21 pounds = 3 dollars), and from there you can, if you try to return, for 15. To the right of the checkpoint, about 3 towers behind a parapet with pins, there is a short 2 km road to Pis Road is closer to Naama Bay if you want to go there on foot. Or go straight through the ravine and the desert to the military unit. Guide Anex Tour Mohammed daily at the hotel. mainly sells tours at guide prices, which is twice as expensive as what you can buy on the street. You can not go to a meeting with a guide. Sharm El Sheikh is a beautiful long city. The length is 30 kilometers, the width in some places is about 5. There are many streets. Good for walking and jogging. The roads are good and even a bike path is being built. That's just not a problem - there are no bike rentals, as, for example, in Dahab. Although in 2011 I managed to rent a bike. And now this place is gone. Although all the interesting places of the city are within reach, it is by bicycle. Old Town - market 5 km. Naama Bay 5 km on a short road through the seahorse. Hollywood -10 km. Currency. For the first time, I didn't spend a single dollar. I didn't have them with me. You don't have to pay for the Sinai stamp. Withdrawn 1.000 Egyptian pounds (7.140 rubles) from an ATM at the airport was enough for me. Well, in principle, and everything about the hotel - you can eat, you can relax, especially diving without scuba gear. It is better to drink purchased beer - in the Old City or in Naama Bay there are shops where it is sold for 11 pounds, there is animation. there is volleyball (if you bring your own ball). But if you want to practice in a foreign European language, then you should go to another hotel. There are only Arabs, Russians and Ukrainians in this. But you will be taught many Arabic words. In short, if you do not look for flaws, then the hotel is not bad and the coral next to it is one of the best on this coast, at least from the lighthouse and monument to Naama Bay itself. Happy scuba diving!! !
