When choosing a holiday destination, many Russian tourists try to find a place where they would have less often had to meet compatriots. Such a dislike of Russians for Russian tourists is explained quite simply - many Russians on vacation discard all the rules and conventions that they adhere to at home. For this reason, you can often forget about a relaxing holiday in the neighborhood.

The most popular destination in Egypt is Sharm el-Sheikh. This is the country's largest resort - but here you can find quiet (in terms of the absence of compatriots from Russia and the CIS countries) places and hotels.

The easiest hotel search algorithm is to select all the hotels you are interested in, and then punch through the search engine for Russian-language reviews. If there are none, congratulations, you have found a good accommodation option. All the same can be said about Hurghada - the second largest resort in Egypt.

It is worth considering that usually package tours involve accommodation in mid-level hotels, and there surely will be with you a large number of holidaymakers from Russia who prefer to relax on package deals such as "last minute" or "all inclusive". Therefore, those wishing to take a break from the Russian language can be advised to plan their vacation yourself - fly a regular flight to a point away from the place of arrival of the charters and book a hotel with lots of good reviews from Europeans and without reviews in Russian.

If you want to find a whole resort, where there would be no contact with compatriots - you can recommend the wonderful resort Taba Hayts.
