December `2011, third trip to Egypt, citizen of Ukraine, entry of AP Sharm El Sheikh to Taba with no plans to leave Sinai.
in AP Sharma, without alternative, they demand a visa sticker of $15 (I didn’t know about the stamp then), accommodation in Taba (Movenpick, a common fence with Hilton), a one-day trip to Egypt (they didn’t delve into the payments, because they paid a one-time payment to the operator, but something was paid when leaving Egypt, a stamp was glued on the immigration card; when leaving Israel, some kind of passenger fee was paid there). Finally killed the collection at the farewell departure from Taba towards Sharm for another 75 pounds from each tourist who traveled to Israel for some individual tax (65LE) and port services (10LE) in exchange for a blue numbered piece of paper without stamps with the inscription Ministry of transport Taba land port .
There is a suspicion that the paper from the hotel could help save $ 30 per person when leaving Israel, from the last payment of 75 pounds there was a feeling of money being taken away for some reason.

As for the hotel, there is a beautiful green area, magnificent views of the sea side, the rooms are cleaned, the linen is changed, the cleaner openly hinted at a tip, and if he didn’t receive it, he forgot to leave the required 2 bottles of water, the restaurant is a dump, but it’s not the fault of the staff, but vacationers exceptionally, the food is excellent, the contingent is 99% ours
Tours to Egypt can be purchased not from TO guides, but at the Hilton market, you just need to ask, the price is from $ 70 for a one-day tour. It seemed to me that there were negative changes in the attitude towards tourists on the part of local employees and hotel staff, maybe I was fed up, but in the coming years I will give preference to other tours. directions
