I will immediately say that for the first time I visited Egypt 12 years ago, and since then, my love for this country is not reduced, but on the contrary - it grows in geometric progression. I was there in October, in mid-January and I plan in April.
Now in the hotel system a lot has changed in mind all known circumstances. Part of the hotels closed and came to the launch, sad, of course, the spectacle. This time we visited the most expensive area of Hurghada - Sakhl-Hashish. Luxury, and complete absence of people. But the decline in the tourist flow plays on the hand during shopping. For example, a high-quality towel made of natural fabric, the initial price of which is declared $ 15, you can buy for 5. Similarly, things and bags, souvenirs. The only thing that prices do not change are cosmetics. Since in Egypt, the fake of drugs is punishable by the death penalty, I always buy vitamins there, they are very high-quality.
Also greatly declined prices for excursions. If earlier the trip from Hurghada to Luxor cost $ 100, now we can go there for 60. And my girlfriend we went on a tour of the quad bikes. I liked it very much! Saturated, the organizers do not drive into the neck, but allow you to enjoy and experience adrenaline happiness to the fullest. First, instructing, then a trip to the Bedouin village (11 kilometers in one direction). There you can ride camels, to buy souvenirs made in the very village (primitive, but souvenir shops - this is known, the mandatory program of each excursion. Bottles-carries with the name from colored sand, all sorts of ointment, wands for cleaning the teeth "Misvak", Bruglets in the style of "primitive", etc.). Further in the program - Buggy. Such super machines, old, but for the desert ride - the most kayf. And all this is included in the cost of the program, nor for cars, nor for riding camels is not needed. Further in the program - smoking hookah, dinner and evening entertainment show. And all this pleasure cost $ 35. 35 dollars for 22 kilometers in the desert, it is very cool!
In October, the weather was pleased with heat, and in January in the evening it was cold, something about plus ten. Happy warmth, but windy. The sea was also cold, I bathed, you can say, forcibly, and only twice. On the beach lay under the spilling. But in general, the rest passed five with a plus. And all because in Egypt you are always glad, even if you are not at all, but a little tea, earnings, but now the inhabitants of the country felt that such a decrease in the flow of tourists, and are ready to meet everyone. By the way, what I also drew attention - now the Arabs have become less intrusive than before. Well, the main thing is that I want to say - to be positive, not to look for the shortcomings, but to enjoy every moment, rest will always be unforgettable. Checked for yourself!
