Egypt: tips or memo to tourists
A memo to a tourist or advice on Egypt, call it what you want, I am writing first of all for myself, so as not to forget. Others may also come in handy. I will try not to repeat the main thing, everywhere it is already written. I will write what I personally remember. You can also read about peculiarities of Egypt.
Tips
Before going there, read about hotels, take time. There are a lot of reviews, for example, here tophotels.ru This is especially true for those who travel to 3-4 stars, everything is very different.
In the same place, in reviews of hotels in Egypt, you can find out the real distance to the beach. To some, this is oh, how important. From the cheap I can recommend the one we were in (Cleopatra Tsokos 3 *).
Be sure to take with you a normal mask through which water does not flow, which is generally comfortable. Otherwise, on the spot, masks for $ 5 - you will suffer, but rub the gums with a tube. If there is no mask, then why go to the beach in Egypt?
Take slippers for walking on corals (it is better not to walk, of course, they are alive), ordinary sports sandals will do, which almost everyone has.
Buy excursions in Egypt not in a hotel, as it is really cheaper on the street, and in most cases they are no different, then you will go on the same bus. We did so and are happy. I even covered an advertising booklet with the cost of excursions in Egypt.
Take a little change with you, it will come in handy on the first day. When the receptionist gave us a number, 4 hours earlier than the set time, he didn’t want to leave the room until he gave him 5 bucks (the next bill was already 100). And if it weren't, I don't even know what to do, only if I give rubles.
Transport there is cheap, you can go to many places on your own and on your own schedule. Do not sit all the time on the beach, the country cannot be recognized like that, at least take a train on the excursion. You can go for a walk in the desert, you can go to a wild beach, you can drive to a neighboring town.
