Egypt Travel Blog: 10 DAYS Egypt Explorer - Felucca Cruise & Red Sea

Today was the first time in a long time that I had nothing to do – for 2 days in a row. I woke up at a relaxed pace and it felt good knowing I had all day ahead of me without any agenda.

I headed to the dining section for breakfast. I met some of our tour mates there and we had breakfast together. One guy went snorkeling in the Mediterranean and we would hear about his experience later. After coffee, we all split up and I decided to tour the whole resort and take videos.

I saw lots of Russians at the resort. As a matter of fact, lots of Russians live in Egypt and in Hurghada the concentration is even higher. They own townhouses and condos facing the Red Sea and you see them wherever you go in town. I have seen Russian TV channels wherever we went.

The landscaping of the resort was amazing. Caves combined with swimming pools, gardens, rocks, plants – think of a beach resort with suites likes caves and furniture and decorations made of wood and rock.

I went to the front entrance of the resort and walked around a little bit. I saw a small shopping complex selling gifts and other items tourists usually buy.

On the other side of the main road, there was nothing but desert. But I did see a few windmills. I could see some beach residents a little far away passing the shopping complex, but decided not to walk too far as it was too hot.

I wanted to visit Hurghada’s downtown, which I heard was half an hour or less by taxi. There were lots of restaurants, bars and nightclubs like any ideal resort town, but I didn’t want to go alone and didn’t find anyone else. So I decided to spend some time at the resort instead.
