Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort I've heard this very positive opinion about hostels before from many EU young people.I've been to Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort, located near the Red Sea. The hotel is considered posh for an Egyptian hotel. Since we’ve got 70 percent discount we opted for it. Most visitors were citizens of Western Europe, but several folks were from ex-soviet countries like Kazakhstan and Russia. 9 flags were outside the hotel, which meant what nationalities had arrived at the hotel. I met guys from Switzerland, Poles, Brits and a couple of incredibly drunk young girls from Czech Republic. The place itself is divers' Mecca, since rich flora and fauna attract more and more tourists to the Red sea teeming with fish, colored with all hues and tinges of the rainbow. The Red Sea provides you with excellent opportunity to swim around in crystal clear water with dolphins and turtles around you. However, there is an obvious downside of the hotel. Nightlife is practically non-existent. After midnight discos, bars and restaurants are closed down. Tourists, who are mostly 40-something, flock to their rooms. Even though you might want to dance until 2 am the only two options available are: staring at the night sky and listening to both pounding surf and music beat from nearby Brayka hotel where people dance until sunrise. I forgot to mention excellent cuisine in all four hotel’s restaurants. I still had an excellent opportunity to meet many people, though. Which I did. I’ve never stayed at a hostel, but I’m looking forward to traveling around the world, therefore I will have had this experience soon.
