This was my second visit to Egypt, my husband's was the sixth, so I think there is something to compare with... We arrived at three in the morning. We were the very first of the entire bus brought to the hotel (the journey took 5-7 minutes).
Since we were leaving on a last minute trip and we had only two days to pack, so there was no time to choose and we completely relied on our tour manager and did not lose.
It was my first abroad. Everyone told me: "You will come in complete delight. You will like everything!!! " And here's what really happened. When we arrived at the hotel, I immediately did not like the undeveloped area (rubble around).
