Arrived on November 22 at 11 local time. The hotel positions itself as 5 *.
Check-in at 14. The hotel, they said at the reception, is packed, there are no free rooms. So we waited 2 hours to be allowed into the room.
We looked around, walked around, the territory is green, 3 pools, there are almost no free sunbeds on the beach, a lot of drunk or drinking, not quite adequate people. On the beach, a couple of women quarreled loudly over a sunbed, then one of the women called her drunken husband and he began to push the woman lying on the sunbed. I remember a drunken young guy with blond hair and a red face, who very loudly enthusiastically told something to his company (later I found out that the guy was from the animation team).
Settled in room 1069. I was immediately surprised by the entrance to the room, the feeling that you go into the closet. The cabinets themselves seem to have been brought from a grandmother from the Soviet Union. Doors fall off and creak terribly. The room has 2 beds. We asked for a room with 2 bedrooms, they said "10 minutes and we'll do it. "
Really did. The Egyptian came and moved the beds. The bathroom door didn't close because it was dry. Shower outside the door. They killed a cockroach. The air conditioner is very noisy and blows off the last bed, so we slept across. Mosquitoes bit every night. Okay, we Russians are not picky, let's go swimming.
Sea, sun, class. I didn’t really like the swinging pontoon, there were a lot of people on it at the place of descent into the water, there was a queue. The corals from the shore to the end of the pontoon are dead, good corals are only on the edge. Floating along the reef, we noticed at the bottom both a concrete beam and a wheel from a car. With this attitude, in 50 years the reef will die completely. Lots of fish. We swam along the reef and to the right along several hotels until the next Sunrise, and to the left past the Ritz-Carlton, Amghoras to Aloha. Everywhere the reef and fish are similar. Most hotels have a pontoon that wobbles. Some have a stationary pontoon, it is more convenient to descend into the water.
Restaurant 3. Main Half Moon.
Even in restaurants, there is a terrible creak from the metal legs of chairs on tiles. On the 7th day, the wife was poisoned at lunch either with soup or cake. I sat up all night hugging the toilet. Okay, the Russians do not give up, 6 tablets of coal and a sleepless night, we rest further.
We took an excursion from Said from the Anex-tour to the Abu Galum nature reserve in jeeps (later we learned that the same excursions can be taken on the street at 2 times cheaper). It turns out that they have divided the entire coastal and adjacent sea area into zones, which they call reserves for vacationers, but these are not reserves. The tour started with a jeep ride. Instead of the "comfortable jeeps with air conditioning" promised by Said, we got a 80's Toyota jeep. Air conditioning is open windows. We were lucky that we often went first, because a desert safari between the mountains is a sea of u200bu200bdust and garbage. The impression is depressing. The kid in our jeep got sick and threw up a couple of times.
If it were not for the Bedouin driver who turned on the chanson, and our aunt having fun under it, it would be very sad.
Guide Ali at a stop in the desert told us that 6% of Egypt is the Nile Valley, 94% is desert. The average salary in Cairo is $150, in Sharm it is $300. Life in Sharm is 4 times more expensive than in Cairo. The guide's salary is $3000 (it's clear why they go so important and impudent). Water is more expensive than gasoline. The Bedouins are illiterate, control the desert, may not abide by the laws of Egypt. There are 4 nationalities in Egypt, one on the border with Sudan, southern and northern Egyptians, and Bedouins. The Bedouins have a lot of tribes. They sell or rent the desert. The southern Egyptians (like Ali) have strict customs. Everything is decided by the parents. The northerners have democracy, so there is a revolution in Cairo.
Then they brought us to the camels. We rode on camels for 15-20 minutes. For men, there is little joy, I tell you: ) Then dinner among the flies.
Then we visited at the entrance to the city of Dahab in shops with oils, silver, spices, paintings and underwater equipment, where they tried to sell us something everywhere. Don't buy anything, no slippers needed. Charm is cheaper. The city made a terrible impression. Dirt, garbage, abandoned construction sites, posts with armored personnel carriers and machine gunners in front of the city. It feels like you're in a western or action movie.
Then they brought me to the "reserve" to bathe. The women were shocked. Said promised some that there would be a boat. It turned out to be a filthy coastline with the crumbling "restaurants" Titanic and Elfanar. Toilet without water, no shower. A bunch of flies. I was pleased with the rock with signs, who and when died here. Most did not go swimming. I went and took my mask and snorkel with me. The reef is dead, there are almost no fish, just behind the reef there is a dip of 150 meters (divers die there). Why take a tour here? Okay, we are from the Soviet Union, patient, 2 hours home by super-jeep back and fine.
True, it’s cheaper on the street for $ 5-10 to ride a camel ...
At dinner, the cook began to molest my wife in front of me, pinching her ass (the wife said that she molested earlier, but I had not seen it before). I wanted to punch him in the face, but I restrained myself. Told the hotel manager. The manager said that we would not see the cook again, he would be fired, added to the black list and reported to his wife. She said she didn't need to sign anything. The next day they called to another manager (also a girl). They forced me and my wife to write a written explanation of what happened, they offered to go to the police, but we refused, because we were late for an excursion with dolphins. They offered to move to a suite, but we had to fly out the next day, so we also refused. To the question: "did this happen to other girls", they received the answer "yes, outside the hotel, it happens even worse. "
I liked swimming with dolphins.
Only through Said it is expensive $ 145, Natalia on the street near Alf La Ley La $ 80 called the price. Said has a normal price only for the water park.
About animation. Animators half drunk, but trying. Children are happy. The staff is more concerned. From the question "how are you" at the end of the vacation is already sick. I saw how the restaurant waiter wanted to joke and gave the child a cuff. He roared, and the waiter disappeared into the kitchen. Normal service only in the lobby bar opposite the reception (the waiter with glasses).
Another surprising question: "Are you Russian or Ukraine? " What's the difference? ! It turns out that they do not like Ukrainians, "they are cunning like Jews", they love Russians "they gave weapons during the war with Israel and a lot of money. "
Therefore, Russians are constantly bred for money, starting from the Sharm airport, where you don’t have to pay $ 15 if you don’t leave the territory of the Sinai Peninsula, that is, if you don’t go to Cairo or Israel.
The result for Egypt: good nature, wild people, not so cheap, unsafe.
Is it worth it to go to Egypt again?
