I think it makes no sense to paint all the "charms and conveniences". They were detailed below by "vacationers" at the hotel. In short: terrible food, booze at the burda bar, complete unsanitary conditions in the dining room and room, the locals have no concept of cleanliness and hygiene as such, dirt in the rooms, there is a very big suspicion that we got a second-hand bed, the towels were definitely second-hand and we didn't touch them. Cloud of mosquitoes in the room. Barely interrogated dichlorvos. Didn't sleep at all the first night. They gnawed so that the bites lasted five days.
On the trail. the day after arrival at the hotel squeezed out the sewer through the shower near the pool. The whole area turned into a fetid puddle and stood like that for several hours. Miraculously, it didn't spill into the pool. Then they collected it with rags and hands without gloves by all the staff. The stench lingered for another three days. After what we saw, we forbade the staff to enter the room at all. no one washes their hands there, and with the same hands that they used to drive shit around the square, then they make the bed and change towels and clean the room.
For three days they asked to clean the clogged washstand. The water hardly left. It is impossible to use. Reactions - zero. On the fourth day, patience snapped. I went and caught the "maid", took the plunger and cleaned it myself. Also on the fourth day he was interrogated to open the safe for us! Smiled "fights" at the reception and that's it. Until he took my hand and led me to my room. Thank you for this time nothing is missing. Here is such a service.

Now the most interesting. This is actually why I started writing.
We took off early. Morning preparations, fuss, etc. Even on the plane, I began to realize that my keychain (large) was missing. Was in the key. I saw it in the room. Upon arrival, they rummaged through all the things - no !!! ! It seems that in the morning bustle they put them past or fell out, but they remained at the hotel. It became very sad and embarrassing. Very fat point on the journey. Calls to the reception immediately upon arrival and an appeal to the local guide and our tour operator did not give any result. Everything. . .
My wife, seeing my despair, decided to write another request for help to the local hotel guide. A young sociable guy who sold excursions to everyone at the hotel. We bought two from him. My name is Bob Marley. He is the only one who answered and promised to find out and report.
Interchange. It's been two weeks!! ! And on the evening of 01/16/2020 we receive a photo with my keys on Viber from Bob Marley !! ! How are you? It was not possible to find out where and how he found them, because. in Russian, he weakly grits, and it didn’t matter anymore. By a happy coincidence, our friend was at that moment in Sharm and was walking in Soho. In 10 minutes she was already in Mazar, Bob met her and gave her the keys.
Attention! Didn't take 5 bucks for the labors!!! ! He said that these are the keys of my friend and will not take money !!!! ! Here is such a story. So there are adequate good people there. Excursions he organized good and cheaper 10-15 bucks than the official guide.
As a result, the question arose: how do they clean the rooms if the keys surfaced after two weeks? Maybe they surfaced immediately and lay somewhere with them, but reached Bob in two weeks? History is silent.

Special thanks to Sharks Bay. Magnificent reef. Dived - you watch the Discovery channel. The most beautiful place in Sharm. Everyone is talking. We went on a yacht to the Ras Mohammed nature reserve. They said it was beautiful there. So there is very poor compared to our beach!
No more foot in Mazar! And so it was not cheap - 740 USD. for 10 days for two. People flew in for 180-200 USD, however, for 7 days. Only in an expensive 5* hotel. And on Sharks Bay you can go to the beach! Good luck everyone and have a good rest.
