Negombo colombo distance. Negombo is a major resort town in Sri Lanka. Weather, tourist seasons in Negombo

In March, the tourist season is already ending, but the rest in Goa at this time of the year is still wonderful! Of course, the air begins to warm up, but still not as hot as, say, in April or May. If you avoid direct sunlight between 11 am and 3 pm, the weather is still fine. The evenings are cool and pleasant. The average daily high in March is between 32°C and 33°C, while the average night temperature is between 21°C and 24°C. March is also a very dry month, so it is unlikely that there will be sudden rain. Spend your March evening relaxing by the pool at a private villa in Goa.

There are fewer tourists in March, so almost everything gets cheaper. The beaches are relatively empty and you will have more privacy as a result. Also the streets and beaches of Goa are becoming much cleaner.

Most shacks (beach cafes), bars, pubs and restaurants are still open. The best villas in Goa are located close to the main attractions. In restaurants and bars there are no longer such crazy queues as in winter, most likely you will be able to find a table without prior reservation. The Arabian Sea is much cleaner. March is a dry month. Very little rain and no storm clouds. Also you can still swim without fear of big waves.

Pros and cons of holidays in Goa in March

Top 5 reasons to visit Goa in March

holi festival— the festival of the beginning of summer and colors. There is also the Shigmo festival, which is Goa's unique version of Holi. Both are very funny.

What to do in March

Long, quiet walks along the beach. In March, there are much fewer people, so the beaches will be relatively empty and clean. March is the time for exams in India, there will also be fewer children on the streets. You will be able to enjoy walking along the beaches to appreciate nature. Nobody will disturb you. And for this, there are many beaches in North and South Goa.

Water sports. There is very little rainfall in March. The sea is calm, therefore, this is the ideal time of year for water sports. March is not as hot as April or May, so you can spend a lot of time in the water or on the beach. Enjoy scuba diving or snorkeling close to Grand Island. Parasailing and boat trips are available. Enjoy kayaking or even take a river cruise.

Camping. If the temperature rises, you can always escape to hike through the forests and hills. Visit waterfalls and learn to identify trees. Take a dip in the cool waters of the rivers. This is the perfect getaway from the heat in March. Stay overnight in a tent and enjoy a barbecue.

Visit the Forts. There are quite a few ancient forts in and around Goa such as Chapora Fort, Aguada Fort, Koryuem Fort or Teracol Fort. You will enjoy breathtaking views from these places.

Old Goa (former state capital). There are many interesting sights in Old Goa from the time of Portuguese rule that you will want to visit. For example, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Basilica de Baume Jesus, the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, the Church of Saint Cajetan and the Church of Saint Francis of Assisi.

Museums. History buffs can do a lot in Goa. View Bronze statues and Hindu relics at the Archaeological Museum of Old Goa. There is also the Naval Aviation Museum, where you can see exhibits showing the evolution of the Indian Navy. Or visit also the Menese Braganza Institute.

March checklist in Goa - bring plenty of breathable and lightweight clothing so you don't get so hot in March. This month is more likely to rain than in February, so you might want to bring an umbrella with you as well. Don't forget suntan lotion, hats and sunglasses. And of course, don't forget your swimwear.

Festivals

• Holi - The festival of colors, Holi, is celebrated on a large scale throughout India, and even more so in Goa. Everyone takes part in the fun, throws colors and enjoys the festival. Holi is celebrated in Goa even more vividly than in the whole country, as day and night parties are held with music and dance in hotels, restaurants and shacks.
• Shigmo Festival - Also referred to as Shigmotsav, this is Goa's answer to Holi, but much more colorful in many ways. People play with colors, dress in bright traditional clothes. Parades are held in Vasco, Panjim, Margao, Mapusa and other cities of the state. There are also cultural performances including Goan folk dances such as Modni, Mando, Fugdi and others.
• Kalas Utsav - This festival celebrating the advent of the month of Falgun is held every year at the Morjai temple in Morjim. Various social and cultural events are held throughout the month.

mango season

By the end of March, the mango season, the national fruit of India, begins. Strange as it may seem to some, for many tourists the opportunity to taste the "real mango" is a strong argument when choosing a holiday season.

Mango in Goa: Alfonso variety

holi festival

In March, India hosts the famous Holi spring festival, one of the largest Hindu festivals in the country. In Goa, this festival is called Shigmo. Colorful, even in the most literal sense, the tradition of flooding each other with colors produces a lot of fun situations on the streets and increases the general degree of mood.

Hotels

Taj Exotica Hotel

March is no longer considered the high tourist season in Goa, so all hotels, resorts and villas are getting cheaper. You have huge chances for attractive discounts. In fact, sometimes you can get a room with a 20% to 30% discount off December or January prices. But they still offer the same luxury and convenience. Rates may be lower if you book on arrival. It is better, however, to book in advance for the weekend as there is still a strong influx of tourists from Mumbai, Bangalore and other parts of India. Demand for numbers picks up a bit after school and college exams end, around the middle or end of March.

Rent a villa in Goa

March is a great time of the year to spend a vacation in Goa in a private luxury villa. Villas in Goa will cost a little less in March than in the winter months of the year. But the cost of accommodation will depend on the location. As a rule, villas near the water will cost more. Many villas have a private pool where you can take a dip on a hot day. You will have complete privacy as the whole villa will be at your complete disposal for the duration of your stay and you will not have to share the pool with people you don't know.

Many of the villas are modern builds, while others may be traditional Portuguese heritage buildings that have been restored and modernized. All of them are secluded and luxurious - a private pool, large rooms with comfortable beds, a balcony, modern bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, security, parking, DVD player, coffee maker, juicer and much more. Many rooms are equipped with a bathroom.

There are hundreds of villas on our website in March. Check each one. See the location, amenities and luxuries. Enjoy lower prices. However, the price in March will depend on your arrival date and length of stay. Weekends may be more expensive, but will still be cheaper than the peak tourist season.

All of the following is purely personal impressions and thoughts and may not at all coincide with the opinions of other travelers.

Why Sri Lanka? I feel the need to explore different places, countries, continents and people inhabiting them. I regularly return to places I like. I collect countries - this is the 54th.

As a matter of principle, I don’t take tours if I understand that I can organize everything myself and most likely cheaper and better.

So, I originally planned Thailand (I was there a hundred times, but I really wanted the sea - I got tired after a couple of stressful months at work) - however, when I saw the cost of tickets, I thought, maybe something new. Goa, Bali - there were, Madagascar - well, I don’t know ... but I liked Sri Lanka.

2 0

I got tickets for Emirates. The transfer was in Dubai - at night, from 00 to 2.30 .. but arrival at 8.00 and not at 4 in the morning like fly Dubai .. and departure back at 9 in the morning and not at three in the morning .. Well, it’s 4 rubles more expensive - this is not essential . The ticket cost 45 rubles with all the redeemed legrooms .. probably if you take it for six months it will be cheaper. I took for a month. I'll tell you a good one at the Emirates Business Lounge in Dubai, although Sharik has better service and food.

There is no schedule. The program is conditional. Negombo and Unawatuna are the main places where I will hang out, and I booked hotels here. Booked tedious and long. I read reviews and was in shock - with an increase in stardom, enthusiasm decreased and negativity increased, while prices from stardom grew straight to the sky.

Therefore, even in the presence of financial opportunities, I ruled out the 5s ... immediately. And I felt more free!

Sri Lanka is very similar to India .. Local, more trained by the British, of which, by the way, there are a huge number. Later I read that all the Indians were brought in at one time by the same British, because the locals were distinguished by enviable laziness and did not like to work in principle, although the Indians are not very agile either.

Upon arrival, I thought - what a fine fellow I am that I made an electronic visa (1500 rubles - 3 hours), the queue at the airport for a visa is huge.

At the exit, I famously bargained with a local tour office and took a car from them to the hotel for a symbolic $15. I used the same car with a driver for the next two days.

By the way, oddly enough, but the best exchange rate is at the airport, but I realized this already in the city.

Negombo.

Reviews about the country in bulk - therefore, it’s not a hunt to ship superfluous. I got up All Sutes Hotel 4 *. Eighteen thousand rubles for 3 nights. Booking on Hotels.com - seemed cheaper, I had two free nights, which I used (and paid 6,000 r - beauty).

1 0

The hotel is very decent, clean, closer even to 5 *. Kettle, bathrobes, slippers, refrigerator - everything, a beautiful view of the ocean. Friendly staff, good breakfast, good wifi. Nice clean pool. Of the minuses - they cook to order so-so, but there is even a hookah for $ 10 - nothing at all. .

0 0

But the beach looks depressing, dirty - plastic, glass, no sunbeds or umbrellas for you, there are few people. The ocean, if there is no wave, is not bad, but after 17.00 I was afraid to enter - it seemed that the wave was hefty powerful.

Walking along the street in the evening, I saw restaurants full of Europeans - they keep prices for them there - decent (by local standards), but they cook lousy in my opinion. Souvenirs - like in Goa, elephants and Buddhas ... well, some other terrible leather bags.

Yes, it's cleaner here than in Goa, that's a fact. But people sometimes rest right on the pavement.

Negombo is most often used as a place to adapt after a flight and as a base for trips to Kandy, Sigiriya, Dante's Peak. Much closer from here. This does not apply to group tours - these usually take a bus and take six hours to Unawatuna Beach, or seven to Melissa. And then they are taken to the same Sigiriya on an excursion, but with an overnight stay - well, it's just tin. And I gathered in the morning in Kandy.

Kandy.

This town is very popular, there is a temple of the Tooth of Buddha there and you should see it - well, definitely!

We drove there for three hours - it's a hundred kilometers. The landscape is of the same type - palm trees, palm trees, mountains - palm trees. The car together with the driver cost $ 100 and at 9 am we left.

After two hours of driving along narrow roads and heavy traffic, we stopped at Pinnewala, a town where elephants are led through the streets to the local river and then they are bathed!

Two hours of show .. from 10 to 12. Then even in the Nursery it's not particularly interesting. But, surprising is the fact that without a ticket for swimming (and this is a simple street with access to the river) you can’t get through.

0 0

The ticket costs 2500 rupees (920 r). But the spectacle is very, very exciting, Although I'm in Bali - on elephants and rode and swam. I note that there are several nurseries there, there is also a place where crippled animals are kept - it’s not a fact that it’s a fascinating sight to watch crippled elephants.

On the way we stopped at a fruit market, but there was no mango. The locals will not ripen until April, well, papaya, pineapple, breadfruit and everything else is available.

1 0

I understand the prices are special - tourist prices, because there were no local buyers, but minibuses with tourists were constantly slowing down.

Well, my driver, of course, brought me to some kind of spice plantation .... razvodilovo of course. But I bought something for $ 50, I'll experiment. (I bought an ointment for hair removal (I'm bald, I was wondering) with which I got an allergic reaction later, and they advertised so beautifully)

I did not like Kandy itself - hectic, dirty, noisy. In fact, after the elephant nursery, you can safely turn around. Unless you're a Buddhist of course.

Another religious plane did not seem attractive to me, but if I arrived, I naturally went to the Temple of the Tooth Relic, but was not imbued.

0 0

And I missed the lake next to the temple - well, a lake and a lake, nothing special. I have already looked at so much - in Goa I didn’t advance beyond the night market .... and now I feel in Goa - I’ll be back 100%, but here it’s not a fact yet

After visiting the local Christian temple nearby, you can fall out of the city for lunch and my carrier-bred brought me to the "super ^ buffet with some kind of cosmic prices, and it feels like I paid for myself, the carrier and another guy (probably the carrier's brother.) By the way, the driver was fed for free.

On his part, there were two more attempts to tease - but I didn’t fall for one at all ... a factory for the production of masks and elephants, and I stopped by for a tea tasting, but why not drink tea. ^Golden^ tea - 500 gr cost truly magically - $ 33 - I was surprised, do they really take it. In Unawatuna, by the way, this tea was sold for the same $35 but for 100g. So, they gave me tea to drink, so that is simpler - so I went, and the consultant was upset. Well, there are a lot of scammers here ... at every step they are literally trying to process a tourist and sell something, but who else to take money from. The price for locals and foreigners is unimaginably different ... in an elephant sanctuary, for example, even cash desks in different places - so that tourists do not go nuts. We also note that the price tag for our own and foreigners is different.

We returned dark.

I am surprised at weirdos - that I rent cars here and talk about it as a feat. Here I read one, for 3 weeks he paid $ 2,100 (I paid many times less in the States) and he also steered. Yes, for 1500 a local driver would take a minibus and pray for you, or maybe cheaper. The traffic is very complex - it's not even Moscow, there are many nuances - in the form of exits to the oncoming lane, etc. Notels.com offered me a Honda for $330 for 9 days, but I never matured.

Unawatunna.

From Negombo, you can get to Unawatuna Beach by a paid highway for two and a half hours or by a regular road for 5-6 hours. Naturally, we went on a paid one, even if it was more expensive. The car cost me $90 that day. My same breeder, who received instructions to follow the route clearly - looked pleased, no wonder - I found out that it was possible to fly for $ 70 .. So the first toll road cost 300 local rubles, then there was a long connection with the second road through the city, because the highway not connect, and the second cost 1100 dirhams.

The hotel, located four kilometers from the main village, upon arrival caused some bewilderment, although I seemed to read reviews, but at that moment time was running out for me and prices were growing by leaps and bounds.

0 0

These bookings know that if you come in once, it makes no sense to make it cheaper, but it will always be more expensive. By the way - you can easily accommodate in place, there is a choice.

No, in general, if you look at it, I lived in India and in much extreme conditions ... I didn’t really like it here - aged furniture and a lack of sockets. In Negombo, I really lived in a 4-ke .. and moved a bitch to a three-ruble note. Nearby there was a good hotel, but there were no places. Anyway.

Amanda Beach Hotel - 31,000 for 6 nights with breakfast. At first I thought; I probably should have gone to a more populated hotel - only 7 people lived here, of which I saw 3, including two Russians from Yaroslavl. The Internet is not so hot (but the same in Goa), the tablet is barely connected.

I think I got shorter .. no pool, no shops nearby, no restaurants. Good place for lovers. But the breakfasts are not bad - the condo works, there is hot water and there are no mosquitoes. And then I appreciated this place, quiet, calm, they cook to order perfectly.

So - the first thing I saw when I entered the sea ... no, I tried to enter, this is a wave twice as high as me (and it seems to be small from the shore) - and threw me ashore and scratched my knees and immediately understood, thanks for that - alive!.

0 0

Well, don't back down... The second and third attempts were more successful - I dived, missed the wave - well, we got to know each other - Unawatunna.

The village itself is four kilometers away, a tuk-tuk took for 200 rupees ($ 1.5), the hotel manager really sold it for 500, but I'm sure that the locals pay about 100.

In the Tartuga restaurant on Unawatuna beach, it seemed generally good. I can’t say that the prices in restaurants are straining anymore ... the locals are also sitting, I don’t think that they have a special price list.

But the service is slow, they smile but really do everything slowly - they can carry the menu for 30 minutes, so I always took the menu myself. The food is of average quality, although they can easily spoil the fish.

Irritated by some moments: well, for example - I ordered tea in one cafe - they brought half a mug, I ask the water ran out? No, it's worth that much. I say pour water ... .. no, pay extra for water - however. Well, I got up and left, let him drink, he pays. .

The behavior of foreigners is interesting - a couple with two children (Danes) sits next to each other and both smoke cigarettes and extinguish the bulls in the sand under the table. I called the waiter - bring them an ashtray, and they asked the waiter to move me away with the hookah - like children. I had to send... Russians, in order to smoke - get up and go to smoke aside .... here's the culture of education for you.

Unawatunna.

Today in the morning it finally turned out that it was impossible to swim near the hotel - in the morning a wave with a house and reefs stick out. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to a normal beach.

1 0

1 0

But the beach is great. The lagoon is 100 meters by 20 meters, closed by reefs and there are no waves at all, the deepest depth is 150 cm. For children - a paradise, and for adults it's super - you swim like in a pool of sea water.

0 0

Even with a mask it’s good - there are more fish than on Jang Beach (a very popular beach). And yet, swimming or approaching the edge of the reef ridge (and the depth is chest-deep), you watch a blue wave on the horizon that menacingly rises from the ocean - and then it breaks on the reefs and billions of bubbles forming a bubbling foam rush towards you and create the illusion of a jacuzzi. Fantastic.

1 0

And if you want extreme sports, jump in a wave - please go a little to the right, where the wave rises under 2.5 meters and is ready to demolish you. It’s good that there is a double sandy rift and you can also jump quite safely.

0 0

Turtles again - they swim there, almost daily - but you can watch them just on the rifts .. There are not very many people in the lagoon, sunbeds are rented for 500r, there is no music - just the sound of the waves. There are 3-4 restaurants, average weighted prices. Lyapota. The beach is called Dalawella Beach. Hotels near Sri Gemunu Beach / Sayra Beach.

But to the main beach of Unawatuna - you can’t walk along the coast in principle, and why.

Galle - Fort .

Visited Galle Fort today.

0 0

Yesterday's tuk-tuk driver took me to the fort, showed me the main places (I didn't have to go at all). I don’t particularly like fortifications - well, this one is so-so. Of course, it would be necessary to restore it a little, but why? In general, it's kind of weak. There are no shops here, restaurants too, a market with local goods and a couple of museums.

0 0

On the way back - we dropped into a fruit shop - it turned out that the prices in the city were lower.

The tuk tuk driver offered dozens of entertainment options along the way - I stopped at several marine ... fishing, whales in Merissa, turtles in Hikkaduwa, and possibly Yala (reserve and jeep safaris). There were strong doubts about Yala, because it takes 4 hours to go one way, well, I don’t know. I read the reviews in the afternoon, listened to the boring and bleak story of the Yaroslavl people (they went to a similar reserve - closer, got tired, didn’t really see anything besides two elephants and a buffalo) and came to the conclusion that I’ll go to Tanzania there and see the wild world of animals, and buffaloes and I saw an elephant in the zoo.

Unawatuna. Fishing.

Tuk-tuker - organized fishing at my request. I invited neighbors from Yaroslavl and at 6 am we went to the boat. This process is unchanged in any country of the world - boat..sea..rod..wave. There is only one question, will it bite there, where they will bring it.

0 0

Local sail from the coast for 2-3 km. Well, something was pecking, they caught about 20 pieces, different ones. One Yaroslavl got sick - and for him it was a real test, and he will probably not forget him. The trip cost $80.

I was surprised by the behavior of the neighbors when paying (although I had encountered this before) two men paid $ 40 for fishing, with the words - is it normal? Well, 80 for three is by no means 40, and at least 25 for a person. Well, I said nothing, okay, I think, sort of called. A couple of days later, history repeated itself. The three of us take a tuk tuk to Jang Beach. How much do you usually pay? I ask. - There are three of us, probably it will be more expensive?

Four hundred answer, but they give 200 when calculating.

You guys are smart, I say, you can immediately see that you are friends with mathematics, engineers probably; - another 100 from you (I cooked 150 myself) - but they gave only fifty dollars. I didn't go anywhere else with them.

Unawatuna.

Today on our beach, I swam with two huge turtles, well, under a meter of shell .... big. Moreover, in principle, the depth was a meter and a half. Cool. I even stroked one, and it seemed to explode into the depths - well, not manual, however.

It turns out off the coast of Sri Lanka there are five species of sea turtles out of seven. Surprisingly, the turtle matures for fertilization after 30 years, and then it returns to where it hatched. They write to the beach of Hikkaduwa that they are tame and you can feed them, but judging by the pictures - they are fed by such a crowd - that it’s not a desire to go already, much less sawing there for 45 minutes ..

0 0

There is also a place for Sigiriya and Dante Peak, but, as I wrote, they are closer to Colombo and in the depths of the island - the road will take 5-6 hours to the Peak - plus a rise of 3-4 hours, plus a descent and back - two days minimum. Neighbors from Yaroslavl went to Sigiriya one day in a car with a driver and a guide - heroes. We left at 4 am and the tour company charged them 360 bucks for this tour (60 for the guide, incl.).

And I specifically found out that a private driver, for example, will charge $ 150 for this. The road is 5 hours, I don’t know what kind of pleasure it is - there are not particularly autobahns here.

I turned down Melissa and whale watching. And again I read the reviews, out of 20, two saw the tails of whales on the horizon, but everyone vomited, for a long time and painfully. And many write they didn’t see nichrome, but they liked it !!! What did people like - puke???

I understand that this is not an oceanarium, that wild animals, you can’t organize them specially for display, well, I don’t know, I need more guarantees ... By the way, a walk costs $ 50-70.

Unawatuna. Jung beach.

There is such a place in these places, in the area of ​​the Japanese pagoda (although this is an ordinary Buddhist stupa). You go uphill for a while... and then a winding path from above leads you through the jungle - straight to the shallows.. I did not observe snakes, monkeys or other living creatures. So - below the lagoon, no waves, sand, some homemade and free sunbeds under the palm trees.

I went to a local massage - a tuk man lured me. Well, this is pure profanity. Do not fall for this provocation - for $ 25 they just rubbed it with oil.

Tuk tuk workers, as you understand, here replace both guides and travel agencies. They will agree, book, change the bucks, take them to the alcohol market, and so on. Indispensable. They are sociable, cooing in local English (mostly understandable), carrying some letters of recommendation from tourists and they are very friendly, but they pretend to be naive simpletons. My evening takes me to the hotel, and everyone complains about how difficult it is to raise two children, that they earn little, etc. (average salary on the coast $150-$200). I somehow deaf. So - he brought it and pointing to the rear wheels, he says something about the repair - then he dumps it - give them a thousand bucks - I really need it. Lovely people - no fuss, as they say.

I went to the spice shop. Not where the guides drag you, but where the locals buy. Well, I’ll say this - prices are cheaper than in Russia in online stores. The choice is decent. With tea, I think it’s more difficult - you won’t understand what they mix in bags there. I bought a couple of kilos for 50 bucks, I hope the tuk man did not let me down.

I went to the alcohol market, looked, asked. Wine mainly New Zealand, Australia, Africa, India. Local wines are not produced. Price up to 2500 rupees ($16). Rum from 1800 (don't know which one).

Negombo.

Before the morning flight, I decided to get up for the night in Negombo - for the flight was at 10 am (Yaroslavl residents had a flight at 3 am, so the bus took them from the hotel at seven in the evening - this is how the agencies work).

Taking a local carrier guy in love with cars, I flew to Negombo in 2 hours and $ 65. The same kiwitaxi asked for 90. The boy - Samir (+94724217441) works hard, dangles to the airport 2 times a day. Two years and two months without days off. The car is ^Toyota Plus^ on lease and you have to pay 2300 bucks a month. Their cars are terribly expensive ... This Toyota costs $ 40,000, my Merc cost so much.

In Negombo, I stayed at the Hotel Pledge 3 *, for 6,400 rubles / night. The place is not luxury - you have to walk 10 minutes to the hiking trails, but the hotel is not bad, I lived in a room of 60 meters - large and stupid (with some kind of trouble with the lighting, I didn’t figure out where it turns on), the pool at the hotel. The restaurant could be called good, but they confuse orders - for example, they brought something completely different from what I ordered. And breakfast, after sitting for 25 minutes, did not wait, they only managed to bring coffee - but they paid $ 13, very disproportionate. I liked the first hotel much more - there is still a view and access to the sea and around more fun, and generally better by an order of magnitude.

As a result of a 10 day stay - I liked everything, except for the service, because they act as they see fit, you as a guest absolutely do not care, an hour, an hour and a half - you wait and do not spoil their karma, as they say ... confused the order - do not care .. undercooked, overcooked, oversalted - don't care, ..forgot, didn't bring it, shortchanged - don't care. No one will ever apologize - just a stupid happy smile counting on indulgence. Food prices are sliding towards European ones, hotels are decent - they are expensive for the most part, in guesthouses I think a complete hello (in the bad sense of the word, but ours stay there), the ocean is good - if you know the location of beaches, waves and currents, about restaurants already wrote. (choose those checked for quality and service - in TripAdvisor). Well, in general, probably no worse than Goa - fruits are only catastrophically small - probably depends on the season. The main difference is that the ocean is much more serious - there are many reefs and a high wave, but there is an opportunity to wander around various sights - if you can’t sit still and if you need them. As a result, for some reason, it turns out that they are not particularly needed, these sights are very nondescript. Well, it's still a long way to go, that's a fact. But while writing, I thought, I’ll definitely be back, I liked something.

Another moment - they all - KNOW PUTIN - And they are just bastard from him and in different places they told me that he - the president is their favorite, can he steer a couple of terms there?

There is still a peculiarity with the weather - in winter (May-October) - in the described places it rains and it is very stormy, but on the other hand, in the northeast there is peace and quiet - the wave is very small, warm, there is no rain .... surprisingly, however, the service there is weak developed.

Caution and attention should be paid to reviews about hotels, beaches - they write a lot, often beautifully and enthusiastically, but people with little experience write that they were mostly only in Egypt.

Good luck with your travels, stay safe
