Excursion 'paradise Island' From Hurghada.

In our modern world, the average Russian or Ukrainian citizen may not know where Chelyabinsk or Ostrog is located, but Egypt and its most popular resort - Hurghada - can show you with surprising accuracy. And this is in our cosmopolitan world, probably rightly - the borders are gradually disappearing, the distances are concealed by fast planes and distant countries and warm seas become closer both in flight hours and in the hearts of people.
Egypt in general and Hurghada in particular have indisputable advantages in winter recreation at sea: 4-5 hours of flight, democratic prices for hotels, warm sea and exotic atmosphere and a rather high quality of service. And if you add that the average price of a burning tour from Kiev to Hurghada can even be $ 300-400 per person even in a season, it becomes clear why compatriots prefer the Red Sea to their native Black in the Crimean or Caucasian regions.
But in this case, we are not interested in the economic aspect of comparing resorts, but rather on an interesting excursion program that the Hurghada region can offer us. And if we take a segment of inexpensive excursions within the limits of 20-30 dollars, the most "hit" will be a trip to Paradise Island.
What is this tour and to whom it is most intended? The answer to this question is quite simple: it is universal and is intended absolutely for everyone - from "small" to "great". However, it has its own peculiarities that distinguish it from any other.

The first feature will be that on this tour holidaymakers in Hurghada will have the opportunity to see a truly colorful coral reef, because in most of its hotels Hurghada or do not have a coral reef, or the reef is already "dead." This is very important, since a trip to the Red Sea without contemplating an unusual underwater world would be incomplete. By the way, you can not care about the presence of your mask, tube and fins - all this will be waiting for you on the boat and enter the cost of travel.
After the ship sails from the pier around 8 am, you will enjoy a sea walk for about 30 minutes - this is the time it will take a boat to cover a distance of 10-12 kilometers, where the zone of living corals begins. With a mask and snorkel, we can hang over the coral reef for about 1.5 hours, after which the ship will anchor off and head towards the Paradise Island.
In 5 minutes you will see a small, absolutely naked island framed by a snow-white beach and turquoise water. Landing on the island occurs with the help of small wooden motor boats that dive into the shallows between the ships and the shore.
For every tourist on the coast a small straw umbrella is reserved, which covers a rather large beach area and is more like a small bungalow. To rest under such an Egyptian wonder umbrella is just a pleasure - and not "burn" and the sun actively makes its way through the lattice of bamboo straw.
But the real "happiness" of the tourist in this excursion is a fairy beach, consisting of the tiniest white sand and emerald-turquoise water, the transparency of which allows you to clearly see the bottom to 10-15 meters. The only place where I saw such an amazing combination of water and sand is the Maldives - but these are other distances and quite different prices for vacation.

Another very nice addition to the tour is lunch, which is included in the price. The table is laid common for the whole group in the coastal authentic café, where the national dishes of Egyptian cuisine are successfully combined with Arab music and the surrounding color.
The tour ends around 17 -00, when the hot sun of Egypt slides smoothly to the horizon line. All are happy and satisfied watching the sunset from the ship so beloved for this incomplete day of the ship.
So, if you're lucky and you bought a burning tour from Kiev or another city to Egypt in the resort of Hurghada - remember this article and I'm sure that you will find an unusually pleasant and exciting adventure.
