We went to rest for the first time: the sea very often storms, in the first half of the day the red flag constantly weighs, swimming at a depth is prohibited, but near the shore splash as much as you want, but when the tide is less than knee-deep water, when the tide is waist-deep. By the way, Sharm El Sheikh is located on the Sinai Peninsula, and this is NOT Africa, but Asia. We went through the Tez Tour, they are just excellent guides (mostly named Ahmed), they will never leave you in trouble, they understand the Russian language perfectly, so if any problems, even small ones, arise, you need to ask the guide for help. They took from the medicines: activated charcoal, mezim (necessarily, after heavy lunches and dinners), enterofuril (but it was not useful to us). My husband’s ear hurt very badly on the third day, they thought the water got in, it turned out that he had otitis at home, so take medicine for the ears, it can blow out very much, he has been suffering for the second week. Everything is fine within the hotel, but if you go outside the hotel, it's just awful - These ARABs are rude UGLY!! ! If in the store you just ask how much, what it costs, they will grab onto you and start offering everything, bargaining, and if you leave without buying, they will cover you with such a three-story Russian obscenity!! ! Terrible mentality and nasty country. You need to cross the road at a run, because cars don’t stop, but rush and honk at you, there are no traffic rules, it’s better not to rent a car! There are no fixed prices anywhere at all (except at the hotel) before getting into the minibus, you need to agree on a price with the driver, it’s more profitable and a little calmer to go by taxi, we drove back for $ 6, but it’s still scary, the limit is 60, he eats 120 , maybe even let go of the steering wheel for a couple of minutes and not even look at the road. We liked the hotel itself. If you have any questions write. Since there are many impressions, both good and not very good, you can’t write everything here.
