Concorde El Salam Front Area is a beachfront hotel built on the shores of the Red Sea. It is located in the resort area of Sharm el-Sheikh, although somewhat far from its old center. The hotel is part of the Concord El Salam complex, located by the sea. This is a five-star zone. Another hotel with a lower rank - Concorde El Salam Sport Hotel - is also part of this complex. It was built across the road from El Salam, away from the coast. Guests of Front Area can use all the services and services of Sport and walk around its territory, and vice versa. In addition, between the two halves of the complex very often there is a mini-bus, so very lazy guests can use it. This hotel has earned many praises from vacationers. Most of those who left reviews on various travel sites and forums wrote only positive comments about him. No wonder he entered the top ten most popular hotels in Sharm. This fame is well deserved. However, let's get to know the hotel in more detail.
Location
The Concorde El Salam Front Area Hotel is not very far from Ras Nazran Airport - just four kilometers away. Therefore, the transfer will be short-lived. And this is important for those tired of the five-hour flight (and even if from Moscow) tourists. At the same time, most of the rooms are turned with windows facing the sea, and take-off and landing aircraft are almost inaudible. And the hotel is twenty kilometers from the old center of Sharm. The area in which the hotel is located is called White Night Beach, or White Knights Beach. It is very close to the shopping and entertainment center and the main attraction of Sharm el Sheikh - Soho, where guests can walk on foot in the evenings. Opposite the Concorde El Salam Front, there are shops at reasonable prices. Only, of course, you need to bargain. So the location of the hotel, one might say, is just perfect.
Sharm El Sheikh, White Knights Beach
It is intended for tourists from Western Europe to relax, therefore it is considered more “polished”, and prices here “bite” more painfully than in Hurghada. But the service is better. Sharm el Sheikh, of course, is a relatively large resort area, but all of it can be reached by car in about forty minutes. It is conditionally divided into areas whose names coincide with the names of the bays. Each of them has its own charms and shortcomings, and here it all depends on how you imagine your holiday in Sharm. For example, Montaza is suitable for divers and lovers of peace, but there are no parties and nightlife. Nabq is not very good for children and winter holidays. The center of tourist pastime - Naama Bay - can not boast of good corals. But Sharks Bay is one of the most ideal areas of Sharm in every sense. It is located in a closed bay, it is warm in winter, very cold winds do not blow. Yes, and a lot of reefs. In this paradise oasis are the most expensive Sharm hotels, such as Savoy or Four Seasons. The location of Concorde El Salam Front Hotel - White Knight Bay, or White Knights Beach - is located in the Sharks area. This resort area is quite new, so the reefs here are not trampled and fish are not frightened.
Which travel companies cooperate with the hotel
Many travel and travel companies are in a hurry to reserve places here in advance. Especially in high season. Due to the frenzied popularity of Concorde El Salam holidaymakers, tours to this hotel are always sold out. Low prices - an average of approximately seventy thousand rubles for two for ten days - to relax in such an upscale hotel in Sharm are very attractive for those who want to soak up the Egyptian sun and swim in the Red Sea. Well-known companies (sharks in the tourism business) such as Coral Travel, Chiprip, Tui, Sanmar and others have long been working with the hotel.

The beach is multi-level, which creates the impression of special comfort coupled with relaxing music. Sun beds are very comfortable. Beach towels are issued - large, covering the entire mattress, and they can be changed several times a day. The reef near the hotel is very beautiful, and tourists leave an unforgettable experience. The underwater world near it is difficult to describe in words. And this is not just a reef, but entire labyrinths of corals - this is how tourists describe this place. But precisely because of its presence in the sea, you can enter only from the pontoon. However, young children can splash around in shallow water off the coast. Moreover, for them there is a special cleared path for entering the water. There is another pontoon, from which they ride on "bananas", pedal boats, parachutes.

Excursions and trips
As already mentioned, after dinner guests of the hotel can walk in Soho along the marble pavements - there in the evenings there is live music, a variety of show programs, luminous fountains, and fast Internet. Tourists staying at the hotel love sea excursions, especially the bathyscaphe and catamaran, as well as a trip to Tiran island, where you can dive with scuba diving. Among the most popular excursions from the Concorde El Salam Front Hotel are a sightseeing tour of the resort, which allows you to visit all the attractions of Sharm El Sheikh, and a trip to the famous Ras Mohammed Nature Reserve. From here it is not so far to get to the mountain of Moses, although the climb itself is very difficult. Three thousand four hundred steps from granite have to be overcome. But if you stand it, you will not regret it. You can still go to the mountain, where the monastery of St. Catherine is located - one of the oldest in the world. Or admire Nuweiba and its Colored Canyon. And if you managed to get a Sinai visa upon arrival, then you have a direct road to Israel and Jordan! You can also go to Cairo, Alexandria and Luxor from Sharm, but it is both expensive and long. Therefore, in order to wander through the pyramids and the capital of Egypt, it is better to go to Hurghada. Experienced tourists themselves recommend excursions to buy not in a hotel, but in Naama Bay - it will cost much cheaper, sometimes even twice.
Concorde El Salam Hotel Reviews
This, from the point of view of guests, is one of the best hotels in Egypt in this price category, and almost the most worthy of Sharma hotel. Despite the fact that the resort complex is close to the airport, due to its architectural features, the rumble of aircraft is not heard at all. Beautiful area with pools. Vacationers especially praise the reservoir, which has the effect of merging with the sea. The hotel is suitable for both romantic holidays and for families. Young people will not be bored here either - the animators will not. This is a wonderful hotel that meets the requirements of even the biggest travel choices. He gives an excellent, comfortable stay. The food is wonderful, and at least a week is needed to try all the dishes. Therefore, it is better to come here for a longer time. The hotel staff - especially as for Egypt - are unusually helpful, polite and absolutely honest. Everyone greets, smiles, tries to be helpful. Not only does nothing disappear from the rooms, but they also return forgotten bags with phones, money and all contents. Many tourists write with genuine surprise that workers refuse to tip. An excellent kids club, thanks to which you can leave your child in the care of specialists, and give yourself up to entertainment. Animators turn every evening show into a small performance, and their costumes for creativity can surpass the Brazilian carnival. This is a place where you just rest well, without bothering. Every day you spend will bring you pleasure. After all, the Concorde El Salam Front, as tourists assure, is just a real green oasis of happiness, where you forget about problems and plunge into the world of fairy tales and beauty. No wonder its name in translation means "consent." Hotel guests who come here not for the first time write that they are greeted with sincere joy, just like relatives.
