Where is the hotel located

Six kilometers separate the town of El Quseir from Flamenco Beach Resort 4 *. Marsa-Alam is closer to the hotel than Hurghada, so if you can choose the airport of landing in Egypt, you should give preference to the first. From it to the hotel sixty-five kilometers. Those tourists who rested in Sharm, say that in El Quseir all the entertainment - on the territory of hotels. The population lives in its measured agrocultural rhythm, despite the comparative proximity of Hurghada and Marsa-Alam. The only thing that you can count on a tourist outside the hotel is to smoke a hookah in the local teahouse and drink some aromatic coffee. But in Al Quseir there are also its sights. This is the majestic mosque of Al-Farran, the impregnable fortress of Sultan Selim (the same son of the great Roksolana) and the tomb of the Sufi sheikh Said al-Shazli. In ancient times on this coast of the Red Sea the port rustled, from which there were only ruins. Nearby there is a mine, where gold mining was in full swing in the seventh century.

Flamenco Beach Resort 4 *: reviews

The national composition of the guests at the hotel is mainly German, French and Italian. There are almost no Russians. This fact was very much liked by many of our tourists. But there were those who felt the language barrier. Knowledge of English saves! Kitchen in restaurants was focused mainly on Italians: a lot of pasta and other typical dishes of the Apennine peninsula. Very tasty ice cream, but Flamenco Beach Resort, feedback about this warn, works on the system "Three free meals." Therefore, all snacks and cocktails with alcohol cost money. There were no complaints about food. Everything is very tasty, fresh and quality. There is no need to line up before opening a restaurant or at six in the morning to borrow a sunbed.
