Egypt, Sharm El-Sheikh, hotel "Otium Amphora": photo, reviews and hotel reviews

A little more than 40 years ago, a small fishing village in Shah's bay in Egypt was unknown to anyone until it was discovered that it was in a beautiful, ecologically clean place with a beautiful climate. So there was a resort place Sharm el-Sheikh, today popular in the whole tourist world.

For the championship of the best resort of Egypt , not only local attractions are struggling here, but also hotels located in the most picturesque areas. One of them, the hotel "Otium Amphora" 5 (Sharm El Sheikh), is located on the very shore of the Red Sea.

Resort

In fact, Sharm el-Sheikh is a huge tourist area, divided into several resort areas, each of which has its own "set" of attractions to attract customers.

• The Elder's Bay has not only hotels located in 3 rows along the sea, but also numerous restaurants, fitness clubs, shopping complexes and diving centers. Naama Bay (as the local population calls it) is the oldest district in this area. It is here that Otium is located (Hotel Amphora, Sharm El Sheikh). Reviews about this place are the most enthusiastic, as the hotel is in close proximity to the protected area. It is forbidden to moor vessels and fish, which makes this place the most environmentally friendly on the coast.
• Sharm el-Maya is proud of its sandy beach, the only one in the area. Tourists are waiting in this area of the eastern bazaar, small cafes and yachts at the pier.
• Ras Umm al-Sid is popular with divers, since in the eponymous bay there are real coral gardens.

The rest of the resort areas are younger, but they are quickly built up by new hotels and entertainment complexes.

Ecosystem of Sharm el-Sheikh

Due to its location, the resort enjoys a wonderful climate that allows it to meet guests year-round. In summer, the air warms up to + 40 degrees, and water - up to + 30. At the same time, the heat is transferred quite easily, due to the lack of moisture. Rains in these parts are extremely rare. Here they do everything for the well-being of holidaymakers, equipping the entire Sharm el-Sheikh with the best household appliances. Hotel Otium Amfora, for example, has air conditioning in every room.

In the winter there is no such heat, and the sea also favors bathing at +20 degrees (water temperature). The only inconvenience to those who usually freezes, can deliver winter nights, when the air temperature drops to +15 degrees. Nevertheless, during the New Year's tours the hotels here are filled as densely as in the summer.

Warm Red Sea pleases fans of the underwater world with its clear water and beautiful coral reefs. The Egyptian government strictly monitors its natural heritage, so in some places it is prohibited not only to catch, but also to feed fish, and the protected areas are strictly protected, which does not deter tourists, but, on the contrary, attracts.
