We rested at the INTERCONTINENTAL TABA HEIGHTS 5 * hotel in July (11-25.2008.
The flight to Taba, instead of the declared LIC-tour departure at 8 am, upon receipt of documents the day before departure, the time was 1.40. In Boryspil, there are 700-900 people to go through passport control, which was frankly annoying. Very pleasant flight there on Douglas. Meeting the host without any complaints.
Accommodation in a hotel. If someone wants to change the room to a better one with a surcharge on the spot, then nothing will work. Settlement according to the room category in your travel certificate.
There was an incident with the air conditioner in the room - it worked at full capacity without adjustment. We solved the problem for a long time, took an engineer who told us for a long time that we need to use the temperature controller and "everything is ok! " Call if there are problems! Called 5 times at the reception - all to no avail! Until we decided to contact the Russian-speaking manager Tamara.
They themselves offered to change our room if the hotel cannot eliminate the cause of the regulator failure. As a result, we changed the room, it was partly with a sea view.
The rooms are nice, spacious with large balconies, everything is still new. Room cleaning is good. They left tips.
Nutrition. During the rest they didn’t get better, the food is different, but in two weeks I also managed to get bored. The service in the restaurant is excellent. Tipping helped establish contact with different teams of waiters. Used utensils were instantly removed, drinks were already on the table by the time we arrived at the table, with selected dishes, constantly asked if they needed to be repeated with drinks. All food is fresh.
SPECIAL NOTE, no one writes about this, it is recommended that men come to dinner in trousers, the attitude towards women is more loyal, if you took a couple of evening dresses, they will come in handy.
Since none of the tour operators warned us about this, some of ours only had sweatpants with them. My husband decided to try to come in Bermuda shorts - they turned him in, politely asking him to change clothes.
The sea is excellent, the beach is excellent, 3-4 meters to the neighbor. Temperature in June, in the morning, fresh wind, cool sea. By noon 13-14, the heat begins, hot air blows from the side of the mountains. Humidity is low, heat is tolerated normally.
We bought an excursion to Jerusalem from the LIC - tour, a significant savings of $ 200 per person.
The organization is good. Customs clearance is fast, if you do not register in Duty-free for an hour and do not get to the Egyptian customs for dinner, and then, do not wait for about an hour in a room with the air conditioner turned off.
Visiting Holy places with a stop for swimming in the Dead Sea. The program is good, but because of the heat, at the end, you get terribly tired.
All icons, candles can really be purchased cheaper directly on the streets of the Old Town, not in a shop where tourists are brought by guides. Then, with candles and icons in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, you illuminate everything that you have acquired in the most holy place for a Christian.
Departure from the hotel at 2:00. nights, back could be at the hotel at 19-3.20 00. When leaving back, I had to wait until everyone was getting ready, on the bus for 1.5 hours. As a result, we returned to the hotel by 21.
Rating 4 - due to the incident with the air conditioner, it spoiled our mood.
The flight back was announced at 13, in the end - they flew out at 19, because Boryspil was closed due to the arrival of guests to celebrate the 1.200th anniversary of the baptism of Kievan Rus. How did they fly - the question is, how could an airplane fly with collapsed, torn seat covers, which had clearly already exhausted its flight limit? Question to UAM airline! God bless you, we landed safely!
