The coastline of Ras-um-el-Sid Bay, along which there are many hotels, including Viva Sharm (Egypt), smoothly descends to a depth of almost twenty meters. This creates for divers the most comfortable conditions to observe the diverse life of local marine life. In some areas, the bottom drastically descends to a greater depth, therefore, when swimming in a bay, one must constantly remember the observance of caution.

Near Ras-um-el-Sid there is a real wall of gorgon corals. And in numerous grottoes and caves there are various marine inhabitants.

Smaller hotels are located mainly in the depths of the peninsula. This is the second and third line. Viva Sharm Hotel 3 is no exception. The reviews of tourists indicate that even the absence of a private beach does not affect the fact that tourists can safely and comfortably swim in the sea. Here you can use the city bathing areas, which are no less comfortable.

Reviews

The hotels located on the territory of Ras-um-el-Sid Bay differ not only remoteness from the sea and starry. They also have different prices. Many of those Russians who come to rest in Sharm el-Sheikh in the class of "economy", stop exactly on three-star versions. Viva Sharm Hotel 3 * is not an exception. Reviews about it, left by our compatriots, show that vacationers are completely satisfied with not only democratic prices, but also a good location.

Many thank their tour operators for a beautiful holiday. Good clean and comfortable rooms, decent food, fun animation, swimming pools ... This is not a complete list of all the advantages of this hotel. Near one of the pools is constantly playing music and working animators, which will not let you get bored. Organized in the evenings interesting show programs for a long time to remember the Russians.

Egypt among tour operators is considered a resort state, in which the judging of hotels is not at all by their stardom. This approach also applies to Viva Sharm Hotel, which, despite its low category, has recently become very popular among Russians. It is designed for vacationers who do not make any special claims. Located on the outskirts of Sharma, it has one big plus: here you can calmly and leisurely relax and couples, and even the elderly.

Many good words our compatriots talk about the work of the staff - conscientious and unobtrusive. Always friendly maids and a receptionist of the registry, helping tourists, were rated by Russians for the highest rating. However, the hotel's shortcomings found their place in the reviews. Firstly, it is the remoteness of the main promenade of the resort - Naami Bay, as well as a small area. But this is not particularly true for those who come to Egypt to enjoy the sea and dive.
