Yesterday we arrived from Egypt. We rest there for the 2nd time, the last time we were in Taba. I didn’t really like the hotel, the view was somehow shabby, stale, the furniture was old, the curtains on the windows were dirty, sloppy. We lived in a one bedroom chalet. The view from room 3200 was beautiful, not far from the main restaurant and the pool, the place is quiet, calm, comfortable, but the furniture in the room is old, shabby. It was far to walk to the beach, especially getting up the steps after the beach in the heat, so in recent days we went back by bus. Check-in waited 1.5 hours, at the reception the Arabs are impolite, inattentive, they look through you and pretend not to see. Only perseverance and communication in English. do their thing. The food is not bad, but it gets boring quickly, it would seem that the choice is huge, but there is nothing to eat, everything is tasteless, they chose more vegetables and fruits and constantly salted and peppered to somehow improve the taste. The choice of restaurants is quite large, but everything is the same everywhere. The beaches are good, there are enough places. After lunch, we rested by the pool, but did not swim, very cold water. The mood has been spoiled since December 1, when the beaches were closed due to shark attacks on people. We left on 4, the beaches opened, and then I read on the Internet that on December 5, a German tourist died from a shark attack in a hotel in the center of Sharm. It turns out that the Red Sea is fraught with a lot of dangers, I don’t know, we came here again. Not happy with the importunity of the Arabs, their attitude towards Russian speakers and non-Muslims in general, their carelessness, laziness and sometimes rudeness, their unwillingness to think about the safety of tourists.
