Anyone who wants to relax. Operator Pegasus no problem. We rested in the second half of May. Excursions: Mount Moses, 2 days Jordan-Israel, boat trip on about. "Pharaohs" (immersion).
-Hotel away from the city, around the mountains and construction sites of new hotels. Prices in boutiques are too high, but bargaining is always appropriate. The hotel is a solid 3+, but it does not scare. There are few Russians, a bunch will immediately be with someone to share their impressions. Hulls in three lines in a semi-circle. At the entrance on the left hand TWO BUILDINGS STANDARD ROOM!! ! We arrived at the hotel by 11 o'clock, the weather was HEAT, check-in at 14-00. See hotel plan. They took the "standard", remote 2 buildings, at the reception they offered a room with a sea view, the second line with a surcharge of $ 15 per night, bargained for $ 7 through the cashier. We settled in 10 min. Clean neat. The staff is friendly and joking. They are ready to get the moon for a tip and you will never be forgotten. The animators don't get it. The food is monotonous, fruits: few, unripe, only apples and citrus fruits. Freshly squeezed juice, citrus 1 euro.
- Beach: from 6. in the morning, foreign pensioners attack, occupy most of the umbrellas and “Hitler” does not perceive kaput. Plenty of sun loungers at any time. Drinks in a beer booth, there is no other way to call it, located in the center of the beach from 11-00 to 17-00, you can always take it, traditionally have a bite to eat french fries, you have to go up to the pool, and so we go to the restaurant.
On the edge of the beach, a couple of Bedouins with camels will offer rental and photos, for $ 1 you can agree, a camel can come in handy on Mount Moses, try to run it.
- The sea is restless, always a wave.
Shoes in the sea are a must!! ! Examine the bottom of the mask, because was with his wife for her entry into the sea IMPORTANT! Like many. On the right side of the beach, what is called a concrete entrance, these are abandoned rubber blocks going into the sea up to about 10 m long. Behind them is the edge of a coral reef with living sea urchins, then sand and a depth of about 1.5 m. On the left hand (where there is a fence and a large hut and a volleyball court), the entrance is gentle over stones up to 5 m long, then sand. The fauna can be observed along the shore of a solid wall of a gray reef, you can go into the sea 100-150 meters, a little to the left of a gentle entry into the sea, there is a large reef from the shore in front of the reef, you can stand up and rest, and on the far side the depth is up to 3.4m. or straight along the course where the water changes color to a darker one, a cliff begins 14 meters deep, along the coastline. There are also two small stones one after the other at a distance of 15-20 m from each other, the depth is up to 3 m. during the day there is an ebb and flow with a cold current, and such a muck rises not to see anything, behind a stone that near a depression where the bottom is poorly visible grass grows, you can meet sea turtles eating grass on the slope, you can meet eels near the reef, cuttlefish, lionfish of different colors with poisonous spikes, a flute and all sorts of other inhabitants of the sea pleasing to the eye. A map of the shore can be found at the local diving center on the right hand side of the hotel before going to the beach, there you can also buy a boat trip for $ 45 on about. "Pharaohs", although it is not as colorful as it is painted, in the resort of Hurghada, if anyone has been to Utopia Island, it is much more picturesque. But there is a Russian instructor Sergey, which gives confidence for diving for the first time, who are going to agree in advance, the price of the walk is cheaper than the price offered by the operator (Pegasus 1-o. dive $ 100 in the center $ 30). The pier is 15 min. drive from the hotel in the same place, you can buy excellent masks, snorkels, fins, cheaper than in the Russian Federation. The organization is excellent, no one in the sea will be forgotten, they will be counted as chickens, everyone will return.
Cameras for underwater shooting price $ 24-28 (in the diving center on site), if anyone is in Jordan with an overnight stay, you can walk around Aqaba at night near the hotel, asking where the photo shop is and bargain for $ 10, the photo comes out great, but closer to the subject you need to be. The film can be developed for 30 rubles. and scan 85 rubles. into a digital image in Kodak services in the Russian Federation.
-Jordan: Petra everything is fine beautiful, take water, a camera, souvenirs, the farther into the gorge, the cheaper.
In Jordan, Aqaba, you can walk at night with your wife, girlfriend, or women unaccompanied by men, without fear!! ! There everything is unexpectedly cultural in comparison with Egypt and Turkey. Coffee lovers, buy for $ 1.1 kg. , in beans. You can go to Petra in shorts and sandals, caral slippers and a hat, but in the morning it is cool when crossing the border, you can take a windbreaker or sweater. The bus is comfortable and the speed limit is respected. GAI strict.
- In the morning Israel: guide Emma knows the story and tells very beautifully. the dead sea is excellent, leave the mud for later, it is poorly washed off, you can buy duty free for $ 5 on the way back to Israel. (at the resort $10. ), beer $4 2 bottles, $5 4 bottles, etc.
-In Bethlehem, the same story, first a store where icons, candles, etc. everything is expensive. Further. There will be a vow in a three-story restaurant with escalators to the 3rd. floor, but!! ! on the 1st. everything on the floor is the same, but 70% cheaper, on the way to the Church of the Nativity, on foot, you can meet shops and buy quickly, but not expensive. You can consecrate crosses, rings, icons, etc. in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on the Stone of Anointing and in the Church of the Nativity in the cave where Jesus Christ was born.
- Mount Moses: the guide Bedouin Salim will not give offense. Take a backpack, (in the sports master 800 rubles) water, a beach towel under the ass to the top, a jacket, a diode lamp with a mount on the head, hands are free, light and the price is 100 rubles. in the Russian Federation, because their lanterns occupy their hands and shine badly. Good camera, something to capture. A prayer book for those who want to meet the dawn with prayer, you will not be alone at the very top of the chapel and mosque, where Orthodox and people of other religions gather from all over the world who came for this. Fathers with pilgrims read prayers and sing psalms. The climb is not easy, but manageable, the trail is dusty, dark with Bedouins, their camels, natural smells all the way, 5 km. where a camel can walk, then some more steep climb. AND LYAPOTA! ! The descent, you can choose another path is not easier, but shorter and more beautiful, without the Bedouins. don't let the difficulties scare you, what you see is worth it.
Monastery of St. Catherine, a lot of people are crowded, in the church shop Arabs sell icons of poor quality and expensive (not good). In Temples, Take candles, take a lot, give to people. Have a good rest and impressions.
With uv.
