Flying to Egypt for the first time. We spent a lot of time on the Internet looking for a place, a hotel, a beach. I wanted an Arabic-style hotel and the first line. Sharm and Naama Bay were chosen correctly: in December, the beach is warm and windless. But the 5-star hotel was not presented in this way, although they understood their conventionality in Egypt. Arabic style hotel - Moroccan village. The double room is large, but very dirty (floor, window sills, stains on the table). The only lighting is dim lamps on the walls and a tabletop. The furniture is old, but wooden. There is an old TV with Russian channels (2 or 3, we hardly watched). Restaurant - dining room with dirty greasy sofas. Food without frills, simple, were not hungry. Soft cheese like feta in the morning and puff pastries are especially good. Alcohol is weak, in the restaurant they brought at the request quickly, on the terrace - you can’t interrogate. Bottled water is provided to take away as needed. Nobody swam in the pools - everyone went to the beach. Towels are provided. Old, but there. Everyone wrote about rusty dirty sunbeds. The sea is clear, with fish, but the water is waist-deep. Stones, corals are obligatory (3-6 dollars). Swimming is allowed on the nearby beach of the Goofy hotel. There is also a reef with live corals. Be sure to have a mask - then all the shortcomings go away from the delight of the underwater world. Things you need to take with you are not wrinkled, they waited a week for the iron and did not wait. . . Do not agree to a sightseeing tour in any case - they will be taken to buy oils, throw away half a day from a short rest. In the evening the hotel is very boring. WI-fi for communication with relatives in the reception area is free, weak, the first time they give a password. It seems that everything is not bad, if you used to go as a savage to the Crimea and the Odessa region. , but the second time we will look for another hotel for sure.
