Rested with his wife, the first time in Egypt.
We arrived at the hotel at 19.00, my wife had a birthday that day, no gifts from the hotel ((
At the reception they immediately said pay $ 20 for the best room overlooking the pool, if you want, they immediately refused and went to see where they would check us in, they showed the room not very dirty, with broken tiles in the bathroom and old furniture and with access from the balcony to the bushes) ) We decided to return and pay 20 dollars and we were moved to a room overlooking the pool on the 2nd floor with a kettle, coffee sticks, cream and tea (brought every day), well, the room was better in terms of furniture and bathroom, sediment remained not pleasant, but in general it was such one significant minus.
The next day we went on a free sightseeing tour, I immediately say that you won’t see much and something interesting there, you will be taken to a mosque and an Orthodox church, then you will go to the center where oils, creams and perfumes are produced, and there you will be tasted and offered very expensive goods, we immediately knew from the reviews that we didn’t need to take anything there, for example, we took Jojoba oil for $ 4 in George Clooney’s store, and here you will be offered for 40! ! ! dollars, well, in general, my advice is not to take anything, that’s just nothing, and nearby on the first floor in stores prices are 3-5 times higher than you can find in the old town or in George Clooney, then they will take you to the candy factory where you also don’t take anything, prices are 5 times higher. Half a day will be spent on this business, from 8-30 to 14.00, for a change, if you are in Sharm for the first time, then you can go, but do not buy ANYTHING there! ! !
Breakfasts are meager, we almost always took tasty scrambled eggs and cereal with milk, coffee and sweets, no meat in the morning, soups in the afternoon but they are not tasty and almost only water, but rice and meat are delicious, salads, vegetables, mackerel and donuts, buns , cakes, juices. For dinner, grilled chicken, meat, rice, potatoes, vegetables, once they gave crayfish, beer, wine, juices, sweets. In general, we often skipped lunch, because we ate very well, and on the beach at the bar we took French fries, beer and fish cakes for lunch. The food is generally good, all the same, we did not try everything. There were often not enough places for lunch and dinner and people were sent to the second floor, where there is a second restaurant.
The territory is very large, a lot of pools, a water park, slides, sun loungers, tennis, a wave pool, palm trees, bridges, streams, although they did not always work. The staff is good, the surroundings are generally beautiful, our room was overlooking the restaurant and the pool, in the evening it looked very cool from the balcony.
There is a safe in the room, 3 beds, a bathroom with a hairdryer, TV, drawers, a table - well, as usual in hotels, they didn’t even try to catch Wi-Fi, it simply doesn’t exist, we immediately bought a Vodafone SIM card for 10 GB for $ 10 at Sharm Airport , 4G in Egypt catches everywhere and even on the high seas)))
The tour cost us exactly $1.000 for two for 8 nights.
Cleaning is weak, although we always left chocolate or seeds, sand and dust on the balcony were never removed, the bathroom was cleaned so-so, like the room as a whole.
We took an excursion on a yacht for $ 40 per person, it’s cool for the whole day to the Ras Mohammed reserve, I advise.
We also took a 1-day tour to Israel for $ 120 per person, but we were not allowed to go to customs in Israel with my wife, we are 26 years old to my wife and 29 years old to me, no children, so they considered that we were potential immigrants, also from 6 buses 30 people were not allowed into Israel, 29 of them Ukrainians, and we went back to Sharm, the transfer was well organized, minibuses were already waiting for us near the border in Egypt, it took 3.5 hours to go there, they returned from 120 bucks, 75 bucks, a loss of money for two came out at about $ 95, but it’s a pity not money and not time, but it’s a shame that we love to visit new countries and beautiful places with my wife and it was our dream, but it’s a pity that the Ukrainian passport is a big problem for entering this country from Egypt, because as Israel and Egypt do not have any diplomatic relations and very often young couples are denied entry there, so this excursion is pure lottery, 5050.
It’s very good that when you leave the hotel, there are a lot of different shops and cafes around, the beach is across the road and 10 minutes to go, we didn’t sit in hotels after dinner, but left for the old city, walked nearby in Sharm, visited the Farsha cafe, 3 dollars fare there by minibus per person, by taxi $ 5, to the Old City $ 2 by minibus for 1 person, go to the Old City for about 35 minutes, to Farsha about 50 minutes on the way, but it's worth it, both in the afternoon and in the evening, so the hookah, wine and beer and a view of the sea, Farsha is a lounge bar built on a rock, an unrealistically cool place for a photo.
The beach is small, we walked through the Parrotel Beach 5 * hotel, they have a much larger beach, not enough sunbeds, the entrance is from the shore with sand but there is knee-deep water, but the pier is located after 200 meters, but we have an unrealistically beautiful reef and a lot different fish, a better view with a mask under water than in the Ras Mohammed reserve, there is a diving center on the beach nearby, you can scuba dive 6 meters for $ 20 for 20 minutes.
Perhaps the best George Clooney store at prices, 15 minutes walk from the hotel, but everything is there, from clothes, hookahs to mangoes and magnets, and the prices are the lowest in Sharm, you can buy gifts for 30-40 dollars.
Nearby there is McDonald's, about 20 minutes on foot, also the legendary Hard Rock Cafe.
Hookah to smoke in a cafe from 4 to 8 dollars, Stella beer is the best, it costs 4 dollars a bottle, other brands like water and almost no gas.
The hotel has bars, but cold beer and tasty only in the restaurant and in the pool bar, brandy, whiskey - we didn’t like it, we only tried it once, we took wine, champagne and Duty Free in Boryspil Chivas Regal 12 with us years - for $ 20 and drank in the evenings. On the beach, the beer is warm and bad, they took more sprite and fanta - at least it was cold there.
But in general, we really liked the rest, we went down a couple of times in the water park on the slides, but we didn’t spend time in the pool, we were either on the beach and the sea, or on excursions, we wanted to see everything as much as possible, the water was warm, there was wind in places, and to swim from the pier it was often possible only after 13.00, and the sun sets at 17.00, super tanned.
The owner of a cafe or shop can run up to you when you are already leaving and ask if you liked everything, invite you to visit his place again and shake hands, it took us a lot of time to walk, because every seller calls you to go to him or just ask where you and how are you, do not be rude and respectful to all the locals and they will thank you, we took a lot of our chocolates and seeds, because they love this business, and gave those who we especially liked, whether it was a waiter in a hotel or a mango seller ))
Tune in for a great vacation and take a good mood with you and some minuses in a hotel or something else will turn out to be nothing.
Well, that's all it seems, write, I will answer.
