We rested in a large group at the end of March this year. A large group of 14 people has minor nutritional deficiencies. It is impossible to set the table for everyone, for 10 people it is impossible, for 6 it is possible, but with difficulty. The staff immediately sent to the terrace. There, for half an hour, they persuaded the staff to set the table. They sat down themselves. Drinks were carried by themselves, because while you wait, you will eat all the buns and cakes.
The conditions in the room are good, the only thing is a bit dark, you won’t be able to read in the evening or you will break your eyes. There is a Russian channel on TV. The room is cleaned well for $1. As if for nothing, they did not try. Linen was not changed during all 10 days. Either we didn't get dirty or the underwear was special. The first two days they put flowers on the pillow, then they tied it up. We lived in the rooms of the 2000s opposite the pool. (When settling in, they paid $ 20 for a couple so that we would not be scattered throughout the territory. ) In the pool, the water was not heated, no one swam there. There was a strong wind all the time, so we wanted to use the pool, but could not - it was cold.
The area is very neat, very green. A beautiful reef, a lot of all kinds of sea creatures swim, like in an aquarium. Carals for the best, if not touched, firstly stink terribly, and secondly, if you touch them with your wrists or other parts of the body, except for your hands, they burn (still with ulcers).

An Egyptian named SHAMS from AQUARIUS is wandering along the beach. Very kind person, sociable. His Russian is not perfect, but very understandable, if he speaks Italian, Arabic, English. Offers good tours on a yacht, to Cairo by bus or plane, in general, the combination of the price of the tour and the quality is at the level (photo attached).
I wanted to get rid of the nasty bandage (all inclusive), I thought that no one was interested in it. It was not there. Harmful Arabs immediately question "ol klyusif? " , so I do not advise, be patient. If you lose, do not worry at the "reception" restore without problems. Breakfast, lunch and dinner ends strictly on time. Products are removed and they are not interested in anything. Do not take bottled water from the bartenders, they write it down to your number. 1.5 liters of water - $ 2.2. Restaurants on the beach are not included in the all inclusive. On the beach, after 15-30 you can profit from french fries and an incomprehensible cutlet with ketchup. Drink as much as you like and what you like. The only coffee maker at the bartenders often breaks down, and for $ 1 it is immediately repaired and you will always be welcome.
If you go to Cairo to see the pyramids, do not be lazy - take pillows. The ride is long and nasty. In Cairo, do not rush to buy papyri in a special store on the pyramids, they will cost $ 1, and if you want good ones, you can bargain much cheaper in the old city of Shar El Sheikh. Do not get fooled in Cairo for divorces with fragrant oils - complete garbage, I can offer my own. Do not communicate with the Bedouins on the pyramids at all, as if they do not exist, do not take anything from them and do not take pictures with them, they are the same Bedouins as me.
