A wonderful stay at the Intercontinental Taba Hotel I recommend to anyone who wants to relax, get away from the hustle and bustle, do not need noisy entertainment and want to visit Israel (a tour from Turtes cost $ 190 to the border 30 minutes by bus) I would recommend a 2-day tour. hectic and a little tedious, because you cross more than one border. For example, on Egyptian Street, on the way back, 5 buses with tourists were gathered, all were driven to a stuffy room, where one stamp maker was sitting in the booth, until the people of Kiev raised a commotion. Next in line were Russians from the Hilton (5 minutes walk from the border), for $ 30. they traveled to Israel by regular buses, with great advantages in independence, again, the Russians have a visa-free regime. In any case, the trip was a success, Jerusalem is a city you want to return to.
We got a short tour, the guide, of course, took to his shop, gave discounts of a certain color (our green) divorced many. Boris Borisv, aka (according to tourism colleagues) Misha Mikhailov, Alexei Aleshin, etc. , for some reason always says that he comes from a small mining town in Estonia, boasts of Israeli education (photo "Guide" posted) 80% The time allotted for the tour, our "Guide" suggested and rubbed, where to buy the most correct candles, almost kosher, and then he sold them with Greek priests for 3 dollars. (there are 1 without trade everywhere) in the Christmas Temple. Then they did not hesitate to spread the money with the priests in their pockets. After a successful trade, one of the priests "celebrated" our stay in the Holy Places with a beer, a snack of chocolate, hiding in a car, and now fasting. . . Everyone praises the guide Rita, if possible, only to her on a tour
About the hotel.

Settled according to certificates, if there are many vacancies, you can negotiate with a sea view. Cleaning without tips is normal. Tipping was sometimes given, all requirements were met by the cleaner, who brought bathrobes and slippers. The restaurant serves quickly enough, Russian is spoken in some ways, and English is as bad as we are, so it is easy to find a common language. The territory is flourishing, well-groomed. On the territory of the salt lake, swimming pools, one heated. The pampered ones will not like the entrance to the sea, we were happy to massage our feet on a narrow strip of non-round stones. Be sure to take a mask, fish and fish, hedgehogs, corals will not be bored on the beach. The Sofitel has a pontoon, 300 meters away, walking along the sea is a pleasure, you can walk on a concrete path. There is a Russian-speaking girl at the reception, but I will understand the rest of you. There is golf, tennis and exercise machines.
Sobriety from the fairy tale came in his native Borispol, nice, favorite little things were stolen from the bags. . .
