I thought for a very long time, chose the country for the first rest of the abroad. Our south did not even consider it, and for money it was much cheaper to relax abroad with a good service, quick flight. Nevertheless chose Hurghada. It was there, on the advice of his brother (he rested there with his family), all the conditions for an excellent pastime with children were created. The hotel chose 4 stars on the first coastline with their own sandy beach (almost all hotels have their own beach areas) and free sun loungers, umbrellas, mattresses and towels (the truth for the child we took an individual towel, as it is hygienically).
Passed to Hurghada, we looked into the porthole with curiosity and were settled by the beauty of the water of the Red Sea, water in places of bright turquoise color, just magically. Vegetation is not enough, only palm trees grow, beautiful shrubs with raspberry colors and sophisticated trees.
The resort of Hurghada himself is not noteworthy, the Arabs will join there. They are trying to drive their goods, we didn't really wander in souvenir shops, in one big store, they were purchased with souvenirs and we did a good discount, and my husband and I don't really like to bargain, as if they would like something. Textiles and bed linen were purchased in the store with a funny name "Karcash", it was also advised to us in the homeland, the prices are pleasant there, we also made a good discount (they say when you buy more than two things, then the discount is provided automatically).
Several times with the child went to the local McDonalds, to be honest, it's not like us, everything is very pepper and sharp. The child bought only ice cream and juice.
Since they rested with the Date, they forgot about discos and nightclubs, went to the hotel animation. The daughter was delighted with mini-disco, but for adult animation programs are not reaching the level of Turkish. Of course, the animators are trying to cheer the people during the day, to tear off the chaise lounge, the youth is still ready for these attempts, but more older people prefer a "seal pastime".
In general, we liked the rest in Hurghada, you don't need to run in search of food, food in the hotel plentiously, worshipet, play with the Date, we pumped up, they sang and flew away and flew home.
