So I want to tell you about my first trip to the mysterious country of Egypt. Land of pyramids and pharaohs. Just want to express "HUGE THANKS" to the airline "WIND ROSE" for the 12 hour flight delay. And no compensation! And the flight was postponed three times! The reason for this was the breakdown of the aircraft)) they had to deliver the spare part from Kyiv)) So we were told. By the way, we bought tickets from the TEZ TOUR company. A ticket for two cost about 7000 UAH. Traveled with my mother. She is abroad for the first time, and before that I had already visited Turkey three times. Twice in a 4* hotel and once in a 5* hotel. So there is something to compare with))) We lost a day of rest ((which could not but upset. We ended up at the hotel (at the reception) at 11:30 at night)) thank God the flight was soft and fast - only 3 hours and 10 min. We flew from Dnepropetrovsk to Sharm El Sheikh. I want to add that the view from the plane window when it is very low on Sharm El Sheikh is simply fabulous. Everything is lit up with colorful lights! Very beautiful!
Landed well. The airport was half empty))) I liked the idea of the design of the airport (especially the ceiling) Then they filled out the cards and paid for visas at $ 15 per person. If you are not going to leave the Sinai island, then you do not need to buy visas. We also got to the hotel very quickly. The distance is about 25-30 km. This segment was overcome in 30 minutes, and others were brought to different hotels. While we were waiting for registration and check-in, a lively Arab boy brought cold compote and distributed it to all the newcomers. Checked in quickly and shown to room. The room was on the first floor. When we went inside I was surprised. in addition to the bedroom, the room also had a living room (a sofa, two armchairs, a coffee table and a table, a large refrigerator and a TV set) and a built-in kitchen with an extractor hood, a washstand and a stove)))) Apparently, once it all worked! There were no pots, kettles, spoons or forks in the cupboards! The room is certainly not chic, the furniture is ordinary and just needs painting.
I also noticed that there are no chandeliers on the ceiling in the room. The room was lit by large night lamps on the floor. The room also has a TV (showed 1 Russian channel "Planet"), the rest in Arabic or English. There was also a large refrigerator (it froze and chilled like crazy). There are two comfortable soft beds in the bedroom (the mattresses are modern and new, I personally checked it). The air conditioner worked perfectly for both heat and cool. Also in the bedroom there was a large wardrobe with mirrors and a dressing table with a mirror and a veranda. To get there, you need to press a special button on the metal-plastic compartment doors (this is both a window and a door). The bathroom is ordinary - a shower mirror and a toilet bowl!
In general, the room is clean, they cleaned it every other day and 5 rolls of toilet paper were applied)) and for the whole stay they never saw cockroaches, bugs, or lizards in the room (it even became a shame))) some in the reviews wrote that they were attacked by COARACKS AND MOSQUITOES))) YES THESE ANIMALS ARE AFRAID OF US! ON THE STREET I SAW BEAUTIFUL MULTICOLORED LIZARDS. There were almost no mosquitoes, only a couple flew in the room and poisoned them on the territory with smoke every day! On the table in the room, hungry from the road, oranges, bread, sliced cheese and sausages were already waiting for us. We ate and fell asleep sweetly in anticipation of a new day and vivid impressions!
By the way, we paid for breakfast and dinner. drinks (coffee and tea only in the morning) in the evening for a surcharge. This was enough for us. We ate very much and left with full bellies, like a wolf from a cartoon)) The restaurant is located to the left of the main entrance to the hotel. There is a sign on the RESTAURANT building in red.
Near the entrance to the canteen itself there is a large forged barbecue where in the evenings they fried kebab, shawarma, liver and chicken for dinner. The dining room, as well as the rooms, needs an old update. Everything is simple. But cozy and compact. There was never a queue. There were always empty tables! The choice of food is good!
For breakfast, basically the same thing (sliced cheese, sausages, salty cheese (such as cheese), various salads, jam, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, carrots, soup, dairy, a sea of u200bu200bsweets, dates, various jelly, stewed and fried vegetables kissel potatoes and rice tea coffee and milk and others for dinner a large selection of dishes serve fried meat or fish biscuit pie with dates and green melon jams of those types melon salad and oranges just oranges jelly chocolate jelly butter in portions in packages sour cream and milk rice milk biscuit noodles cake and puffs potatoes in foil just chicken I don’t remember everything)) different types of bread By the way, pink bracelets are given out only if you have ALL INCLUSIVE, we didn’t have bracelets, even though we weren’t supposed to take tea and coffee for dinner, we took it twice no one said anything)) just did not notice apparently.
In general, I do not advise you to take in Egypt (in this hotel) ALL INCLUSIVE, since the difference is very noticeable compared to Turkey! It makes sense to take All inclusive. The staff is friendly and speaks Russian well! Especially the animators By the way, the girl Oksana is an animator herself from Poltava. She is so slender, fair-haired with a bob haircut! There is also an animator and he is also in charge of animation Tarzan - an Arab from Cairo. Such shaggy hair with glasses is long and sticks out like a clown - a boorish guy. You will recognize him for sure! He constantly shouts the word ALEEEEE He sticks to all the girls and climbs to hug, which is very annoying and does not like to return the change, keep in mind We had a simple situation. The animators offered to go to SOHO to go there for 30 minutes! there is a singing colored fountain and a sea of shops, shops, cafes and restaurants! There is even an ice skating rink! In short, soho square in European style!
There is also a scene where everyone can watch a belly dance for free. So we paid 8 bucks for two people to get here. Tarzan had to give change and there were no small ones. I liked it - begging for my own money)) by the way, he had to surrender not only to us))) When he was told for the return of the money, he stupidly froze! Then we approached Oksana, a countrywoman girl, and said that it was simply ugly towards us and, in general, a matter of principle. Thanks to her, the shaggy man returned the money to us, though in pounds, and then on the last day of rest! There are no discos in the hotel for young people, but entertainment was almost every day. Shows with fire belly dance and the girl danced tanura very beautifully - this is a dance with skirts, there were already 3 or 4 of them on it! We also went to the Palace of 1001 nights for a show. Tickets were purchased at the box office for $18 per person.
Starting at 11 pm and until midnight! So I will say that in our hotel they danced and showed a show a hundred times better. I also want to say that 50% of the Arabs rested in the hotel. Arab families with children. In 1001 nights, there were also only Arabs. About 300 people were there for sure and maybe a dozen Russian people with us)) it was interesting to see and it’s not at all scary to be among them))) just be friendly to people always and everywhere! even an Arab girl in a headscarf wanted to take a picture with me and of course I agreed! Now about the hotel itself and the territory. Everything blooms and smells, trimmed bushes, flowering trees, green grass and many palm trees, all this was and still about + 30 heat at lunchtime. Two swimming pools in the hotel. One is figured with bridges and the other is new and much warmer with a view of the sea. There were always free sunbeds by the pool. To get to the new pool you need to go to the very end of the territory.
The new pool is smaller and I liked it more! nice to swim, sunbathe overlooking the sea. Go to the sea for 5-10 minutes along a well-groomed alley, you need to exit the hotel, then to the left and go straight. You will see the Al Fanar lighthouse on the left side and another 50 meters and turn left again, there will be a construction of beautiful hotels and go straight dynp to the sea it will be seen also get taxi drivers constantly offer taxis everywhere and always ignore them or say KNOW or NO. There is a bus to the sea, the schedule will be given to you upon check-in. You can go by bus for the first time and then on foot and it's nice and useful! There are a lot of shops near the hotel, bazaars, supermarkets, crocodile shows, 1001 nights, an Italian-style shopping center IL MERCATO, a water park, mosques and many sightseeing street agencies. us to buy excursions.
He offered very persistently, very ... We did not want to communicate with him anymore and did not contact him! I immediately abandoned the idea of buying anything - I don’t like when they put pressure on me. And we wanted to take excursions by air to Cairo or Luxor, the price of the tour was -275 bucks. at street agencies - 200 dollars. in the end, we settled on one agency and gave a deposit for an air tour, but at the last moment it was rescheduled, apparently the plane didn’t get enough, it was rescheduled for Friday, and on Thursday we had to leave for our country, of course, it was a shame, well, it means nothing another time))) We went to Egypt not in a hotel to wallow and get drunk, but to see the country and all its sights.
