Для спокойного отдыха For a relaxing holiday

The hotel was chosen consciously, guided by the reviews (generally positive) and the desire to visit Jerusalem. Taking into account the children's holidays, the prices were the most humane in the Taba region. So: arrival at Taba airport. . . After reading information about the so-called. "Sinai stamp" and deciding that $ 30 is easier to drink (eat, shop))) than to give to our Egyptian friends, we stand in line for this relic. The walls of the terminal are full of inscriptions in a broad English language that a visa costs 15 evergreens and only less than one, a piece of paper with something "only for those leaving the Sinai zone" is modestly stitched up Exchange of bucks for a standard stamp of an Egyptian visa in Taba is organized much easier than in Sharm: at the exit from the "snake" organized by the handrails, behind which the nimble Arab makes this exchange. After watching this picture, I decide to immediately skip with the completed questionnaire to the border officers, which I easily succeed. . . On the questionnaire, on the reverse side, I wrote the cherished phrase (thanks to the advice from the Web) "Sinai only" The officer, looking through the passport in search of a stamp, raised his eyes in bewilderment, and here I am, showing excellent knowledge of English)))) duplicated several times " Sinai only". A second later the stamp was in the passport! By the way, the wife, who, by the way, did not dare to jump directly and approached the nimble Arab, the latter, after she uttered the same cherished phrase, sent it to the border guards without hindrance. So $30 saved for souvenirs. Immediately, in order not to return to this issue, we did not plan any excursions outside the Sinai zone (Taba Sharm), except for Jerusalem. It works to Israel and back. Everything is described in detail on the network, I will not sharpen it. The stamp on the photos is posted. And now to the hotel itself. A modest territory, 2 pools, which in the morning pool men were actively flooded with bleach. Correct filtering (I speak as a former specialist in this topic) is organized incorrectly, therefore, the water was, to put it mildly, not very good. . . (do not be fooled by its seeming blueness) but we are interested in the sea ? ? Rooms with old furniture, but spacious, they clean, they change something, but the sea is important to us ??? )))) On the territory there is a good lawn field, where battles took place in the evenings, I recommend it! In general, an active person had something to occupy himself with: table tennis, "American" are present, in the evenings there are some discos, etc.....all! Local drinks are poured from the heart, the beer is not bad, the rest is pure mm. . . better (as for me) gin and tonic (canned) + ice. The contingent of vacationers for 23 of our compatriots, but calm, without show-offs. After a couple of days, you almost say hello to everyone. . . The food is not bad, fruits and vegetables were present, ice cream at the pool is tasty and free))) And now the most important thing is the SEA !!! ! It's not bad. . . !! ! From time to time, the thought of exchanging Red for Black flashed through (the laurels of Khottabych haunted)))) from which I quickly got rid of: the picture of coral blockages on the shelves of the Sudak-Yalta bazaars and coral fish served in all gendelyks quickly cooled my ardor. . . )))) The beach is small, relatively clean. Sunset is beautiful, you can do it without special shoes, but you still need them.... To see more or less pretty corals, you need to go to the right from 200 meters to half a kilometer. On the edge of the beach is very scarce. . In general, in Sharm, of course, the underwater world is richer, at least where it has been before. We went to Israel with a local operator $ 100 (Pegas-175, Teztur-150) There are no differences, savings on the face. Receipts for the transport fee were issued on the way back (although no one asked them) You can not even respond to threats from representatives of tour operators, there is no use, but you will save your nerves. The border passed 1.5-2 hours there, 30 minutes back, at the Dead Sea, do not buy into the divorces of local guides and do not buy mud soap, etc.... It costs a lot of money, in other places it is much cheaper, and the dead water is washed off easily. . . Just a divorce, upon arrival in Bethlehem, a local shop with souvenirs, the same kits (water, oil, myrtle, candles, etc. ) are sold 2-3 times cheaper along the way from the Palestinians. In general: the impression of the hotel is not bad - a strong average. If you are interested in the gentle sea (it is recommended for parents with children because of a good and safe entry), good food and service, an excursion to Israel, a relaxing holiday, then you are here!! !
