We were on vacation in Egypt for the first time.
We arrived in the evening at 20.30, went to the reception, stood in line, told us to leave our suitcases outside the hotel door, they took our passports and told us to wait. Waited 20 minutes.
Then they gathered the whole line and led the formation to settle in our rooms.
Seeing your number, there was a feeling of discomfort. They settled me and the child in a one-room bungalow with one bed. The child is 15 years old. . . The room is tired. Furniture covered in dust on the floor sand. After 15 minutes, our things were brought.
No one invited us to dinner, they themselves went looking for where to have dinner. The restaurant looks good. The food was different: meat, fish, salads... The staff in the dining room is trying, they run regularly.
The bungalow was located next to the pool and the beach.
The second day brought us a shock!!!!

Arriving at the sea, we saw some dead reefs, the water generally receded for a kilometer, there was a red flag on the pontoon - we arrived at the sea. I've read about low tides, but whatever. . .
By lunchtime, the sea began to rise to a depth of less than a meter. It was interesting to watch how adult men and women with masks, priests to the top, look at dead corals and the bottom of the sea in shallow water. There was no way out. red flag - no pontoon.
Closer to 13 the flag was changed to yellow. It was the first 5 days, then the situation changed vice versa - from morning to 13 the sea was knee-deep by 13 the water left.
The whole hotel went to swim from the pontoon, where a long rope weighs, people in masks dived, looking at the underwater world and holding on to the rope. It was impossible to swim far, they immediately whistled.
At low tide, walking over dead corals to the sea was not allowed. They said there immediately begins 30 m. Depth and a strong current can drag you to the depth.
In the priority of choice, we had the sea, which is the biggest disappointment. Travel so many kilometers to observe an empty coast with dead corals.
The hotel area is beautiful, well-groomed, always watered, cleaned, trying. Beautiful streams with bridges. The green spaces are all impressive. 5 stars for looks. There were foam parties, cool.
Alcohol and drinks are poison. All shtynit chemistry tried white wine - somehow. Red is bad. Drinks consist of water and yupi sachets.
they took a sprite - poison, stinks of chlorine and iodine, it seems that drinks are diluted with desalinated water from the sea. Beer is like non-alcoholic. Ice cream
tolerable.
The guide on the second day called for a meeting about the tour. They persuaded hard. Agreed to dive on the yacht "Rusalka".

We were the last to be brought to the yacht, everyone from other hotels was already sitting, taking their seats at the windows. We got places in the middle at the tail of the yacht (((. The rest turned out to be nothing. We were fed. Photographers begin to shoot divers without asking and permission. Then they show these photos and videos with moral pressure and for 30 bucks they offer to send it all to you by mail or viber.
Also, the guide at the meeting, as a bonus, offered us a tour of the city, nothing interesting. Arriving on this tour - it turned out that this is shopping.
We drove to a confectionery shop, drove to an oil factory, where we bought cologne for 50 bucks, which they themselves mix oil + flavors with us and pour into bottles. From the words of the sellers, a train. In general, after the first spray, this explosive mixture itself climbs under pressure from this bottle, the bottle is all fat and the table on which it stands is also covered in this mixture.
As a result, less than half remained on arrival home. There is no question of the sillage of this mixture at all. Generally a waste of money. It was not possible to buy anything. when brought to the factory. They tell you, they let you out into the trading room and the entire staff looks at you with an oppressive look - it’s not comfortable in your soul and even somehow it becomes ashamed not to buy anything.
Housekeeping at 3-. On the second day we entered the room, the cleaner had just finished cleaning. He began to boast that he twisted a duck out of a poor towel. Clearly hinting at the dollar. We thanked and hurried to take things and go to the beach. Without giving a dollar. In the wake of us rushed utter abuse. Judging by his tone.
The guide told us that people in the dining room, cleaners, bus drivers, they have no education and they have the lowest salary - 200 bucks))))) - they will understand me, so I asked everyone to leave a dollar. A lot of kids. It is impossible to sit in the reception building like a fan, it is very noisy, parents are resting - children are running around. And the floors are slippery. The Internet can be caught with great difficulty in the same building, well, or you can buy a card.
In general, this is personally mine and for me - we will not go to Egypt anymore. The biggest frustration is the lack of the sea.
