We came to MOVENPICK with my husband for the second time. The heat in the summer in Egypt is terrible. Even I am a fan of the heat and then withstood it with difficulty. Although there are some charms in such a holiday.
About the hotel. I was afraid to go a second time to the same hotel. I thought that if I liked it the first time, then the second time the rest might not work. And I was wrong. We booked a room with a river view from a travel agency. But who knew that a river with cute ducks flows throughout the hotel. The room was not only overlooking the river, but also with a general view of the hotel and the sea. The food turned out to be even more varied than the one that was fed to us in November last year. Of course, there was not enough fruit. But you know it was all replenished in local "supermarkets". Every evening at 7 or 8 pm freshly picked fruits were brought there - apricots, grapes, apples, mangoes, watermelons, melons and peaches. It costs very cheap there, honestly. My husband and I didn't even ask prices. They came and collected packages, and so to eat for today tomorrow, and gave 10 or 11 dollars. And this is not for one type of product, but for several items. What they didn’t take was watermelon, as it was given in abundance at the hotel for lunch, dinner, breakfast.
Room cleaning also did not cause any complaints, and if you leave two pounds, then everything, in the morning at 9 they are already knocking to clean up. Even a little stressful.

Entertainment is standard, animation is unobtrusive. Nothing has changed here.
Many of the servants began to learn Russian. They speak pretty well already. Even when the safe in our room broke down, they found an interpreter, found out the cause of the breakdown and fixed it. There are no complaints here.
I also want to say thanks to Anya from the PEGAS company. Everything was top notch.
And my advice to those who want to visit Israel is to take a tour for two days. Don't spare money. Cost 380 dollars. per person. You get a more complete overview, while also visiting the Palestinian Authority of Bethlehem (spend the night at the Bethlehem Hotel) and visit Tel Aviv. Well, in general, in two days you will travel the whole country from south to north, from the Dead Sea to Tel Aviv.
Also, once again, my husband and I visited Jordan. I want to tell you Peter in June - hell. And all the same, in November it was much more interesting and beautiful. My advice is if you want to see the pink city visit Petra in autumn or winter.
And also about the beach. There is one unpleasant feature. After 9 am, the sunbeds are all covered with a towel and no one is there. And it’s not just Russians who do this, everyone does it, and Slovaks, and Arabs, and Ukrainians, and everything. My husband and I had to set the order of who goes to take sunbeds on the beach in the morning. Near the pool everything is more free, but the water in the pool is very warm and it does not cool. And the sea is beautiful, when it's +40 outside, the sea saves.
By the way, I want to warn you - beach workers are stealing towels this year, those that you get on cards, in order to knock money off you. If this happens to you, don't hesitate to pay. It is better to talk seriously and "in Russian" with the one who gave you towels. Everything is resolved quickly and painlessly for him.
In general, if you are going to visit this hotel, good luck to you.
