The Concorde El Salam Front Area Hotel is a beachfront hotel built on the very shores of the Red Sea. Located in the resort area of Sharm el-Sheikh, although somewhat far from its old center. The hotel is part of the complex "Concord El Salam", located by the sea. This is a five star zone. Another hotel, 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 the Front Area can use all the services and services of the Sport and walk around its territory, and vice versa. In addition, a mini-bus runs very often between the two halves of the complex, so very lazy guests can use it. This hotel has earned a lot of praise 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 glory is well deserved. However, let's get to know the hotel in more detail.
Location
The Concorde El Salam Front Area is not very far from the airportRas Nazran is only four kilometers away. Therefore, the transfer will be short. And this is important for tourists who are tired of a five-hour flight (and even if from Moscow). At the same time, most of the rooms have their windows turned towards the sea, and you can hardly hear the planes taking off and landing. And from the old center of Sharm, the hotel is twenty kilometers away. The area where 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 in the evenings. Opposite the Concorde El Salam Front, there are shops with reasonable prices. Only, of course, you need to bargain. So the location of the hotel can be said to be just perfect.
Sharm El Sheikh, White Knights Beach
It is intended for the rest of tourists from Western Europe, therefore it is considered more "polished", and the 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 you can drive all of it 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 disadvantages, and it all depends on how you imagine your holiday in Sharm. For example, Montaza is suitable for divers and lovers of tranquility, but there are no parties and nightlife here. Nabq is not very good for children and winter holidays. The focus of tourist pastime - Naama Bay - cannot boast of good corals. But Sharks Bay isone of the most ideal areas of Sharm in every sense. It is located in a closed bay, it is warm here in winter, very cold winds do not blow. Yes, there are a lot of reefs. In this heavenly oasis are the most expensive hotels in Sharm, such as the Savoy or Four Seasons. The location of the 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 untrodden and the fish are not afraid.

Concorde El Salam Hotel: reviews from travelers
This, from the point of view of the guests, is one of the best hotels in Egypt in this price category, and almost the most worthy hotel in Sharm. Despite the fact that the resort complex is located close to the airport, due to its architectural features, the drone of aircraft is not heard at all. Nice area with pools. Vacationers especially praise the reservoir, which has the effect of merging with the sea. The hotel is suitable for both romantic getaways and families. The youth will not be bored here either - the animators will not let them. This is an excellent hotel that meets the requirements of even the most demanding travelers. It provides an excellent, comfortable stay. The food is excellent, and it takes at least a week to try all the dishes. Therefore, it is better to come here for a longer time. The hotel staff - especially for Egypt - is extremely helpful, polite and completely honest. Everyone greets, smiles, tries to be helpful. Not only nothing is missing from the rooms, but forgotten bags with phones, money and all contents are returned. Many tourists write with sincere surprise that employees refuse tips. An excellent kids club, thanks to which you can leave your child in the care of specialists, and indulge in entertainment yourself. Animators turn every evening show intoa small performance, and their costumes can outdo the Brazilian carnival in terms of creativity. This is a place where you just have a good rest, without bothering with anything. Every day you spend will bring you pleasure. After all, Concorde El Salam Front, as tourists assure, is just a real green oasis of happiness, where you will forget about problems and immerse yourself in the world of fairy tales and beauty. No wonder its name in translation means "consent". Guests of the hotel, who come here not for the first time, write that they are greeted with sincere joy, just like relatives.
