Отдыхал в отеле Холидей Инн, Сафага, Египет с 13 по 24 ноября 2010 г. Rested at the Holiday Inn Hotel, Safaga, Egypt from 13 to 24 November 2010.

Rested at the Holiday Inn Hotel, Safaga, Egypt from November 13 to 24.2010, riding at the Tornado station.
The hotel is generally good, the food is varied. The room is spacious, there is a hair dryer, buildings 1 and 2 by the sea, there were mosquitoes in the room, sprayed with a spray - they disappeared. The hotel has a large children's room with games, a tennis court. Animation every evening, aqua aerobics in the afternoon.
The beach is wide sandy. By 8 o'clock in the morning, almost all the sunbeds on the beach are occupied, apparently people pay the beachboy and he takes places. The sand is not very clean. The swimming area is fenced with buoys. Trash doesn't float. A large turtle lives in the water. The pool is cold.

Directly at the exit from the hotel there are souvenir shops, a grocery store, a pharmacy. It seemed that this is the only place for shopping tourists in Safaga. Immediately at the exit of the hotel there is a shop with tea and oils, Ahmed works there - he speaks Russian very well, we went to the city with him, a great guy, you can deal with him.
At the Tornado station, the owner is Felix from Switzerland. After a long haggling, they agreed on 240 bucks for 10 days - insurance, trapeze, gloves included. I didn’t want to move according to the price tag, but increased only the days of skiing. There were no complaints. The lifeguard doesn't work that fast. No one speaks Russian at the station, but they are already teaching it There were five people on windsurfing a day. Around 9 am, a large group of kiters on a boat sailed to the island of Tobia. Felix was ready to take only one windsurfer. materiel to the island.
The wind is certainly weaker than in Shams, it is worth starting and immediately leaving in that direction. Nevertheless, they came to Tornado from Shams, because in Mistral the price tag is high. One guy had a 150 bucks difference in Tornado's favor. The guys from Shams came, I advised them to talk to Hani from Mistral, who, bypassing the Mistral, pulls out a checkmate. part and puts the money in his pocket. They didn’t fit anymore - apparently agreed
Out of 10 days, only 2 were very good, so that with a board of 180 and a sail of 5.5 I planed the whole day. And it was so seriously blowing from the shore in the morning, then it turned to the left and turned sour slowly. Tornado has a separate entrance, so you can come from other hotels. In my opinion, riding in Menavila ("Club Nathalie Simon") is not worth it at all - the wind does not reach there at all.
Prices: 1 buck = 5.74 pounds.
Minibus 1 pound (6 rubles) At night 2-5 pounds.
The final stop is the old city and the bus station from where buses depart to Hurghada (40 minutes and 2 bucks), Kena and Marsa Alam.

Hookah in the hotel is 4 bucks, in the city a maximum of 5 pounds, in general everything is expensive in the hotel. Water 2-3 pounds 2 liters. Fresh juices in cafes from 6 pounds. Beer Luxor - 15 pounds, Stella - 12 pounds. Acquaintances bought hashish in the Fruit Market shop (there the seller is always cheerful-killed) in 10 minutes. from the hotel, next to the cafe Jasmine for 10 bucks 1 gram, no grass, only if you take half a kilo. Lycra with long sleeves - 30 bucks at the hotel's dive station.
There are practically no opportunities to eat safely and tasty outside the hotel. Of the places where you can go to drink beer, smoke a hookah - Dive House in the city and Dive Wonder (worse, 15 minutes walk from the hotel) next to a good Belgian restaurant, 10 minutes. from the hotel - Jasmine (Internet and cafe).
In general, Safaga is a provincial town (large village) with a maximum of ten hotels, there are no discos and nightlife, calmness even after 12 lights out.
