I love Egypt I love Egypt

Hello. We (Me and my girlfriend) in Egypt for the first time. Voucher from Teztur, took for 10 nights, 5% discount. Departure from Kyiv, the transfer was offered like this - at about 01:00 we are at the airport, and the departure is at 12:00. Let's go by car (not without adventure), it's good to have a friend with an apartment in the center. There are probably a lot of troubles in Ukraine, but the roads and traffic cops will remain in memory for a long time. Sorry for being out of place. Departure, of course, was delayed by 3 hours. But the agonizing expectation of the Red Sea killed all obstacles. It is interesting that they were supposed to fly from the Dnieper, but this mysterious company never showed up, neither in one direction nor in the opposite direction. Upon landing, you buy a visa and fill out an entry card, they offer you at the place of issue of cards immediately and fill it out - for "only" $ 5 (total 20) they will rewrite your data from your passport. I read somewhere that someone paid in order to save time and effort. Fills up in a minute. Things were taken away for a long time - one bag was opened, everything was in place, but very unpleasant. We got to the hotel normally. We met a couple from my city on the bus. Hello Alena and Oleg.
I knew that they would extort money at the reception, I was going not to give it, but when I checked in, the devil beguiled and said goodbye to the 20th, which I do not regret at all. the room is good - view of the pool and a little sea with the island of Tiran, room without a door to the next one. There is a small refrigerator.
The hotel is beautiful, the territory is not particularly walked, but not small.

The hotel is 5 minutes walk from the sea. There is a bus. But we got to it only on the 4th day, we didn’t wait to walk.
The food is monotonous. In principle, it is delicious, almost like at home, but there is very little meat and fruit. Soup is one name. I saw fish 2 or 3 times, not very much. Chicken and solid beef with a roll. The food is the weakest point of the hotel. But they always ate. Strong drinks diluted, beer 2 types - so-so. There were a lot of pastries and cakes, probably they didn’t try everything. On the beach (from 11:00) only drinks, 2 glasses per hand. Although the miraculous dollar or 5 local rupees changed everything. But we did not drink so much, although they gave us more.
We met a wonderful couple from Minsk. Hello Dima and Veronica. I will say that without them the holiday would not have been so successful.
The beach is normal and clean. There were enough places and sun loungers for everyone, despite the fact that many "ours" arrived. The pontoon entrance is convenient.
Bulk - and you are in paradise. A lot of fish, the reef is magical. I still remember it like a dream. It makes no sense to describe. You can swim either left or right. Everywhere is great. And diving and soaring at the bottom is an inexpressible feeling. With a mask and fins reached 8-9 meters depth. Only endless boats with tourists interfered if to the right. If you want thrills, take an egg from breakfast - a flock of young and old will fly.
Shopping in Egypt is not for everyone. Bought 2 pairs of masks with tr. and flippers for 55, I knew that it was cheaper, but the seller was nasty, and then the bastard came out and yelled all over the street that I was greedy. Cover for photo 20. In Naama were in stores with a fix. prices and quite acceptable - arafatka hb - 15 pounds (although cotton, half synthetic if you look closely).

The attitude of the staff is not to say that they love you terribly, but I did not notice any negative either. Many remembered by sight and they us. Tipped a couple of times at the bars. But the staff changes places from time to time. Always joking as best they can and smiling. We even made friends with the porter Ali, he gave us +2 bottles of water when we were going to Jerusalem and greeted us from afar. We saw a couple of times violent "ours" who cursed with the staff, promising them that they would regret something. Who is resting.
Water bought in markets 2.5 pounds 1.5l. , in the hotel 15 pounds.
We went to Soho - beautiful, I advise.
In the evening animation or shisha bar. Hookah 15 pounds and a sea of ​ ​ plastic cups on the table. Probably more expensive to wash dishes.
Yes, I almost forgot somewhere in the middle of our holiday after dinner on the beach, and in the evening the hookah bar was constantly running out of beer.
Tours. They wanted to Israel for the norms. price and let's go. Tez offered 150 and this is at a discount. First they found out that the Ukrainians were coming from the hotel, they asked for a phone number. But we couldn’t contact the organizer normally, then he didn’t find us, then we didn’t find him. We decided not to risk it. We went to Naama ($ 5) to look, I got a good taxi driver, took me to the agency 5 minutes from Naama where "our" Vera and Roma work. Thanks for the tours. Quad biking is great. Next time only individual. There were 10 pieces, in a column, we had to lag behind and then break away. Boat trip to Tirana - you won’t swim to the island, you can’t go there. Stop at the wrecked Russian ship, with us and with Hyatt. I liked it very much, the boat is good, the places were taken on the top in front - mattresses (we even saw dolphins). Well, Israel - well, a very tiring trip. Organization of all ex. ex. Pick up was always on time which was amazing. The only negative is the stores in Israel - they are taken to prepared places (like everyone else, I guess). A thick (there is a thin) bunch of candles is 2.5 dollars, and when leaving the temple of the Holy Sepulcher, 1 dollar. But there was an opportunity to step aside and stock up only quickly. And on the Dead Sea, in general, ocher... hand cream 25 dollars soap 10 dollars. etc. and, unfortunately, not a single store nearby. In dutik everything is 2 times cheaper. And actually divide by 2 or . Fed on a boat and in Israel better than in a hotel, or just hungry.

And the dry rations in the hotel are just rolls. I just ate an apple.
The golden city left "heavy" impressions.
Crossing the border back, we felt as if we had returned home. "Breathing is easy. "
Good in Egypt.
