The story

In Egypt we had never been, and confident that there would be 4 of us, we chose the relaxing Marsa Alam. We stayed at the Sentido Oriental Dream, a 5-star opened a few months earlier. The resort is nice, but while it might be considered a 5-star by Egyptian standards, in Italy we'd call it a 4-star overall. The rooms are nice and spacious, the sea clear and crystal-clear, the food good (Italian chef) but the service awful. Fantastic climate: a constant 30 degrees made pleasant by the wind. Great entertainment: simple and "homely". We had fun and relaxed. IN ANY CASE, RECOMMENDED.
