Hey! We liked! Before leaving, I read these reviews - of course, I was shocked, but I think it will be like this!! ! I'll start in order:

ARRIVAL at the airport:
Immediately spread the Bedouin for one $, for putting the suitcase in the trunk, well, okay, then they are Bedouins !!!

ARRIVAL at the hotel:
No one asked us for any money for a room! - We lived in a great room with a sea view! Immediately brought things and told us how to use the safe (free in the room)! The room had one bottle of min. water - everything else in the bar - for a fee.
The bed and towels were changed every day, regardless of whether you put a dollar or not! Everything is clean and tidy!!!

NUTRITION:
Good! We always had vegetables (St. tomatoes and cucumbers) and greens! From fruits - tangerines, oranges, apples, guava and melon (only in fruit salads). A lot of meat dishes - chicken, lamb, fish - both grilled and with different troubles . . In my opinion, this is very good !!!

There was enough food for everyone - there were even french fries, so even McDonald's lovers were lucky .. ! Lots of sweets, not counting jellies and various puddings!! ! I don’t know - there were no dissatisfied people in the hotel, but not counting the Russians - more on that later ...

TOURS:
We visited Cairo (pyramids), Jordan and Jerusalem.
CAIRO: around $80 per person, cheaper per child!
Do not be fooled by the Bedouins - even the police, who guard the pyramids, breed. Say that you do not understand them or just do frost! BUT! the main thing! All guides get kickbacks from shops - so don't buy from the shops he leads - Example: souvenir "cat" - near the pyramids can be bought for 5-7 dollars, and in the store - 30-50 dollars. Cool? I have matured myself!

And aroma oils! How promptly our "worn out" young ladies in the store tell - they "do" our tourists so beautifully !! ! But, whoever took it for expensive - they say it helps !! ! Don't know! Papyrus - from $ 10 and more, although our friends bought for 3-5 dollars, in short, see for yourself!
Before entering the museum - cameras and cameras can be safely handed over to the storage room and also edged weapons too : )

JORDAN: $220 per person.
It will be necessary to sail on the ferry - it's cool, but it's cold (they give blankets) !! ! The beauty! All their souvenirs are more expensive, but you have to bargain!
There is something to see. The city of Petra is located in the rocks and .. , well, in general it is beautiful! And don’t be fooled by carts, horses and camels - you still have to walk most of the time, and you won’t see all the beauty !!!

JERUSALEM: $180 per person.
This is beauty! Walk around all the holy places, swim in the Dead Sea...SUPER!
The main thing is to cross the border! Answer all questions clearly, no jokes, but only YES or NO! YES, there is also a divorce - they go to the store and say: "Buy here! " Example: We bought a set - 4 bottles (water, oil, earth and peace) and a cross for $ 8 near the entrance to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher - $ 1 and the same 33all and ...In short, guides for kickbacks also work there!
Coffee, tea and cappuccino - all for 6 dollars. BUT! be sure to bring a towel, shower gel and slippers.
This is what I described everything briefly - emotions overwhelm !!!


Simply, before you go to Taba, ask yourself the question - WHY? Israel and Jordan? Then this is the right choice! And if hawala and Hang in the hotel? - then it's not a court!
This resort is new and everything is under development! There are very few entertaining moments, but we didn’t go for this - we went to see the Wonders of the World! And we are happy!!!

Tips: Be sure to choose a good tour. operator - we went through "Van to go" and also took excursions through them - they and the new operator "Sloboda" have the best conditions, "Tez Tour" is a little more expensive, but also not bad! , and Pegasus, they say, sucks!
Before the trip, learn a couple of phrases in English - you won't regret it - it will be easier everywhere!
