В Египет больше не поеду I won't go to Egypt again

Traveled with my husband. We took a very responsible approach to choosing a hotel, read hundreds of reviews and chose Nubian Village. In Egypt, the second time the first was in Hurghada, so there is something to compare. I’ll start with the check-in, we arrived at 7 in the morning, it took about 10 minutes from the airport by bus, we immediately put on the bracelets and sent for breakfast, settled at about 14.00, and then until our guide from Intourist came to the reception himself, we didn’t pay anything. They settled in a bungalow, because Italians, Germans and British are settled in the main building, we were not particularly upset, because we didn’t want to live next to the Italians, they themselves yell, children yell, and they allow children everything. Everything worked, already before leaving we saw a cockroach, and so mosquitoes sometimes bit (take fumitox). It’s dark in the bungalow in the evening, because there is a floor lamp and two sconces above the bed, but personally I took off all the lampshades and it was fine, the lamp was not on at the entrance, she said, no one called.
Cleaning every day, sometimes they left $ 1 or a chocolate bar, towels are clean, snow-white, different figures from towels. There were a lot of elderly tourists and even very old ones in wheelchairs.


In one of the reviews I read about free wi-fi, and so it is paid 35 dollars. for 7 days, we did not buy, one man bought and swearing went around, nothing worked anyway.

Food. We really liked the food, there was always meat, chicken, sometimes quail, crabs, fish, plenty of vegetables, very tasty pastries, there were always apples, pears, bananas, at first we took fruit with us to the room and to the beach, then it was forbidden, in the restaurant eat, you can’t take it with you, or order a fruit basket for money, but we are Russians, we put it in a beach bag and took it out anyway. There are no problems with drinking water, bottled water, free of charge and as much as you want, we talked with tourists from Rehanna, they have drinking water for money.
A special attitude towards the Italians, they are good morning and bon appetit, in the main bar they serve Italians first, then the rest. Animation is also mainly for Italy and in a warm pool, for Russians in an icy one. In general, the Italians were almost 50%, after reports of sharks, there were fewer of them.
Animation. There is nothing for young people to do there, all evening animation takes place in the main building where the reception is, every evening a guy plays an electric guitar, and he sings Russian songs well, from 21.00 to 22.00 there is a children's disco, at 22.00 for adults there was a fakir show, a dance with a skirt , karaoke, after karaoke people, especially Russians, rushed to dance until 23.00 and all bainki. They said that there was a disco in a nearby hotel, but we were not. Basically, animators recruit a company and take them to the city for a disco for money.
Sea. This is of course the strongest impression if it were not for the sharks and the wind. We managed to swim with a mask for 2 days at a depth, beauty of course.

And then they forbade going out to the depths, but our hotel was lucky with access to the sea, because the neighboring ones completely left the water at low tide, we had waist-deep, fish full and different, sea stars, hedgehogs, crabs. Two days before departure, strong winds began and it was cold to get out of the water. Need special. shoes. We bought rubber slippers in Moscow, but the sole is too soft for walking on corals, we bought others across the street from the hotel in a store for $ 5. pair. Masks sell for $20. , cases for underwater photo 22 USD. but you have to bargain.

What pleased me so much is that, compared to Hurghada, there were no arrogant, lustful looks from the staff, looked, smiled and went about their business, in Hurghada it was terrible to go to the toilet without a husband.
There are no complaints about the tour operator Intourist, they met, spent everything on time, the drivers in the buses are adequate, they don’t drive, the guide Ihab was always there on time, helped on various minor issues.
In principle, the rest is normal, especially for the elderly and parents with children, they have a good attitude towards them, but not for the young.
Departure from Egypt forever killed the desire to rest in Egypt, it took 3 hours to check in for the flight, one woman fainted, because it was stuffy, it was just that they learned to work on our flight that day. One showed and registered 9 people studied, after 2.5 hours, when people began to resent, because they announced the landing, and we opened three additional windows in the queue, then all their computers went out in the end instead of the flight at 13.45, some how they flew away at almost 17.00
