Were with my wife from February 18 to March 1. The weather is excellent, despite Yandex reports about the air temperature at 20-21 degrees, it was really 25-26. upon arrival, I wanted to put a Sinai stamp, stood in a long line, but then hanging around near the metal tables to fill in immigration, a black man in a brown leatherette jacket offered to put a visa out of line for $ 20 per person, a representative of the odeon led us to the border guard, he slapped visas, we went to the bass and waited another forty minutes for the others. At first, people were taken to hotels of the Dan Panorama network, ours was the extreme point of the route. a cool bass guide with protruding ears monkeyed and ground all sorts of crap, imitating Malakhov. . . In total, the journey took 35 minutes (7 km). settled quickly, because I bought a "sea view" room in advance, incl. We didn’t get to the “Russian village” overlooking the desert and mountains of construction debris, we gave a normal number 2005. We kicked to sleep, woke up in the evening, went to reconnoiter about dinner. Down the stairs, to the right, we came to La Speranza, where we subsequently had breakfast and dinner, because. to. there is no such pandemonium as in the main Al Sakya, or in Fusion upstairs, and does not stink of sickeningly constant "bonfires of the inquisition" from the grills, as in Al Maval, where the cooked meat is almost impossible to eat due to its complete oakiness and rubberiness. Squids are also ruining - you can chew them for a week - they will not change their shape. Grilled fish and generally fried whole, not gutted and unpeeled, is also inedible at all. Thus, in the morning from the edible on duty: eggs, pancakes with jam, croissants with margarine, replacing butter and tea. Having gone once for lunch from the beach, we realized that it’s better to have a bite of the same shnyaga without leaving the sea: frozen potatoes, deep-fried + small cutlets, xs from which city. . . + plastic cucumbers or tomatoes. We also dined in La Speranza, there, if you take it, you’ll go later and there may be one side dish left, the meat is also inedible, tough and fried (with the exception of lamb once), only normal fish, like pelengas in gravy, and that’s it. I have never seen free ice cream, Nestle cups at the bar on the beach for $ 2, at the bar by the main pool they ask for $ 3-4. Fresh juices, they say, were $ 3, but we, coming for breakfast at 9-9.30 they were no longer caught, apparently. In the last 2-3 days of February, people were brought in, and queues and crowds of stupidly rushing about with plates began and yelled at the whole dining room something like: “Grysha! tourists from the CIS countries, and the beach has also become cramped and less comfortable. "Tagils" appeared, contriving to get drunk in saliva with free booze, then trying to break off the remnants of corals and cut themselves with them, bleeding and roaring like wounded bison. The included booze, IMHO, can be drunk only from great greed or having a spare liver in your pocket: what is the so-called. "whiskey", which is "rum", is technical alcohol with dyes, a strength of not more than 20 degrees. So it was not in vain that they brought free drinks with them. Beer and juices-water-water, only if they are poured from bottles, it looks like "Zhigulevskoye". Italians with blue bracelets were given canned Heineken and bottled "Luxor" and "Stella" instead of local slurry - unfortunately, this option is not provided for Russians! The reef is almost completely dead and, accordingly, very poor, even in Eilat last year there were much more living creatures and the water was clearer. There were many jellyfish. quickly examining the hotel reef from the first to the third beach, I mastered the reefs of the neighboring hotels - Royal Regana and further to the left and to the right too. In general, the same poor fauna, except that the reefs are cut through everywhere in different ways, so don’t really hope for something beautiful. We took a car for a trip to the city (a hotel bass costs $ 7 per person one way, xs who drives it and when it goes, I have never seen it). I had to exchange money, buy a modem and a SIM card for the Internet, go look at Duty free and buy soap in some thread of the market (there was only a wall-mounted tank with liquid soap in the room, and nothing else), juice for diluting whiskey, strawberries. Outside the gates of the hotel in the parking lot, annoying bombs, like flies in the dining room, clustered. Agreed with a lanky, black dude in a black jacket about a three-hour trip for $15. A silver Lancer with an advertising sign for some transport office on the right front door. His name is on his business card: "Limousine Yasser Bepo". In general, at first, this vile Semite brought me to charm instead of the required official office of Vodafone or Etisalat to a shop to some of his sidekicks, who unsuccessfully tried to sell me a used shabby modem for $ 40 and a SIM card with 500 mb for another $ 20. I was appropriately sent, we went to Naama, where in the Etisalat office they announced to me 125 LE for a modem + 250 LE for 10 gigs of traffic. Total $60. It is necessary to change - banks closed at 2 o'clock, ATMs do not take more than $ 50 bills, and give out only a multiple of 5 LE. I went across the road to a small dutik, hoping to get change in pounds, bought 2 bottles of liquor, returned in dollars. Came out of this so-called. "Duty free", which is a small room with 1-2 types of whiskey, gin, vodka and liquor, a young merchant clung to them, of whom there are almost no tourists from idleness. He asked me to write him a good review in exchange for a change at the normal rate, dragged him into the shop, smeared some smelly oils on it, lit the oil mill, stank his whole shop with white odorous smoke, during the exchange he tried to lose pounds, somehow taking his exchange, left him, he ran after me to the road shouting: “it’s impossible, you have to buy something from me, etc. ” he probably even would have bitten my leg, there was so much indignation and resentment in him! In general, I bought a modem (I sat there for about an hour until one of the two clerks had mercy and ordered the second to serve me, although there was no one else in the office! ), Went into the nearby "market" - a dirty room with a kid sitting at the cash register. The goods are all without a price, as is customary, you will find out the prices when he scans the barcode with a scanner. As a result, I bought a bar of soap for $ 1.5, 3 packs of juice (shitty, as it turned out) for 17 LE and a kilogram of strawberries for $ 5, which looks beautiful, but absolutely plastic and tasteless. We went back to the hotel, upon arrival the taxi driver, instead of giving me $20, said that the trip now costs $50, i. e. k. we allegedly went to both charm and naama, in the end, I gave him this 20-ku and went free. In general, the impression of the Araps, of course, is the most vile - their constant extortion, uncleanliness and an attempt to heat you out of the blue pissed me off. And if they were more or less trained in the hotel (although the idiotic “like a dilya, brother”, constant attempts to shake your hand, or pull the bag off the chair while you have breakfast (it is believed that this is very funny! ), Then the street is darkness! There is also a shopping gallery in the hotel - the same molesters, with the exception, perhaps, of the third shop on the left, where a 45-year-old black man sits and does not try to sell anything - you calmly walk, choose. a sticky little gnat almost hit him in the forehead when he tried not to let me out of his shop, trying to sell 2 pictures a little larger than A4 on rice paper, calling it papyrus, for $ 100, although the day before the comrade with whom we we met there, I bought 3 of the same pictures from his changer Mansur for $ 50. We signed up for a Chinese and Indian restaurant upon arrival, the food, of course, is the same as everywhere else, with the only difference being that in Chinese all this shnyaga is soaked in marinade, and in Indian it is very spicy. Upon departure, the luggage was picked up and taken away an hour before 12, quickly paid for the beer drunk in Chinese, loaded onto the bus, after 20 minutes were at the airport, i. e. Since I registered through the Transaero website, I calmly checked in my luggage at the business class counter, then a quick pass control and a Dutik - the only one! I stood in line at the booze department for over an hour. In the perfumery, the prices are very good, but the sticky consultants of both sexes, of whom there are 15 people, literally do not let you choose with their importunity. We took off according to the schedule, after 4 hours we were at home, in a balloon. That's like everything. If anyone is interested, ask, if I know, I will answer.... .
