We went on an excursion that was sold to us (!) as a sightseeing tour with a visit to a good fish restaurant. Visiting the fish restaurant was the main condition for us.
To our great surprise, the whole tour came down to shopping, which you didn't even bother to tell us about. We spent three hours at the "factory" of Nefertiti oils. First, there was a lengthy lecture by a well-trained specialist who knows his business. It was about the benefits of various Egyptian oils, which have simply magical power for the shattered health of vacationers. After that, those who wanted to live forever went to buy goods. In short, time is wasted, the mood is spoiled. Thank God, you didn't fall for advertising! Very intrusive and unpleasant.
The pharmacy is cool👍 the staff is competent and trained, they tell and sell professionally👍😂 I will share my experience, they left a lot of money in this pharmacy, in fact, they did not use it for the most part. The most top-end thing I recommend to take in this pharmacy is joint oil (it really works like nothing else from our ointments, even age-related parents appreciated it) and black cumin oil.
Marketing is well-structured.
They lure people in, make a presentation, and the prices? Prices later.
Everything is three times expensive!
We went on a free tour, sorry for the wasted time.
We flew to Sharm El Sheikh through the Fansan travel agency, and drove Nefertiti to the store for five hours. Then to the expensive bazaar.
Don't be fooled! Do not waste your time, which flies by on vacation and is not noticeable.
Svetlana, of course, is doing great, she tells everything beautifully, just like in the 90s.
But I have a question, if 3 kilograms of nuts produce a teaspoon of oil, where did they get such plantations from?
Yes, they ticked the box, more than that, of course, not with their foot.
Many THANKS to Svetlana, she showed me a little facial massage technique, the only thing I learned from the trip.
Not recommended!!!
We were on a sightseeing tour today. After visiting Nefertiti's Pharmacy with oils, an unpleasant aftertaste remained (I bought it in some kind of rush, because we drove over the ears well and the consultant at the pharmacy immediately sticks and does not go anywhere, I like to walk, read, think myself, but here time is limited of course and this consultant again ..)) I understand that everyone needs to earn money, but such cheating is unreasonable ((Of course, no one forces purchases to make, in general, their psyche and endurance need to be trained) It's better to study everything first!..I can't say for the quality yet, only for my mood 👎
In September, they took a survey. We visited this factory of Nefertiti oils and perfumes. We purchased black cumin oil (we have heard a lot about it) and oil perfumes (we received cream and soap as a gift). The product is excellent .The oil works with a bang!!! In January we are going to Egypt for a vacation again. I want to buy a couple more bottles. The perfume holds up perfectly. My husband even uses it in the car (the smell is persistent and awesome). My daughter didn't like the cream.I took off the star for the obsession of "white coats", but still it's expensive. I advise you to visit this place!!!
A popular cosmetics, oil and perfume store in the shopping area of Hurghada. I bought a couple of bottles of oils, the smell persists the next day, after applying to the skin. There is also a large selection of assortment, experts will show and tell you.
You can also pay for purchases in Russian rubles by transfer.
You will be taken to the toilet here on each tour. They will tell you how the miracle oils of this particular factory save millions of lives and how important it is to buy everything. The right to purchase remains with you, but why carry pumpkin oil, walnut oil and a number of other oils if there is an abundance of them in Russia?
The cameraman dragged me on a guided tour of a seafood restaurant.
As a result, the restaurant sucks completely! Don't see each other. Well, of course, they dragged along the expensive Nifertiti and another store with fixed expensive prices.
My friend gave me an excursion to the doctor.
So it doesn't hurt.
P.S. I still bought arugula oil. But a small one. I'll see the effect)
It tastes like one-in-one linseed.
We went on a guided sightseeing tour. But while visiting the mosque, we went to a pharmacy and bought some items. Upon returning to the bus, we heard the guide's claims that you were deceived, everything was bought expensively. But after visiting this institution, we realized that only the guide was cheating and was sitting on a percentage. It was very reminiscent of the herbolife sales method. All the oils in the store are 5-10 times more expensive than a pharmacy. Even in hotels they do not allow themselves to do this and it is possible to bargain. Russian russians took out loans, collected 500 bucks (sorry, but you're at home, it turns out on average this money in two months, plus you also have to pay a loan for a vacation and for oils, great Russian stupidity)))) very obsessive female consultants are beginning to convince that no, it is much more expensive everywhere. The funny thing is that they can't stand perfume Arabs and make scandals at the cash registers to get their interest. Deodorant crystals are 4 times more expensive than in Thai, and 2 times less. There is also an institution in the backyard, I think it's all for a reason. In general, before traveling abroad, study what is where and how much. And do not enrich Sberbank and the Russian *pharmacy* mafia.
Feedback on fresh tracks - I put two stars, one for how actively they are able to offer and sell, the second for the fact that there is water, payment by any means and sofas at the exit, where you can sit and wait until a tourist group of 45 people buys something that they probably won't use (I'm kidding)! I will note that I am a lover of all kinds of caring products, I am generally silent about perfumes, but no, it did not go, they took two teas out of respect and as a compliment (yellow and lemongrass). Very intrusive staff, entering the trading floor, the staff (manager) is attached to you and looks very askance if you don't want to buy (and we didn't want to), so our relationship didn't work out, we took our two teas and left ☺️ But it was fun - you feel like a tourist 😁09/24/24
We were on a sightseeing tour with a visit to this store. The prices are high. Even over the top. In Hurghada City, they bought oil for $ 6, they offer the same oil for $ 30. They strongly press on their ears that they have the original, and in their branch in another place there is a fake.
We were in the store during the tour
A drink made from coconut does not correspond to reality at all, I made it at home, it looks like a drink from a store.
Lemongrass tea similarly does not match the taste that was in the store itself
In general ) if you want to waste your money, welcome
And so beware
The store had a free tour, it is clear that the divorce of tourists for money immediately. A consultant works with everyone, the prices are cosmic, all these oils are sold in regular stores many times cheaper, I bought lemongrass in tea - it feels like it was dried in the time of the pharaohs, I threw it away. One of the interesting things is the essential crystals for inhalation, which will last for a long time. Of course, I also bought black cumin oil in a rush, but I realized for myself that it's easier to drink it in capsules - otherwise it's a terrible mess. The store is exclusively for the general development and understanding of the oil market, so that you can buy it elsewhere.
This oil can be bought 4 times cheaper. this company does not even produce oil itself, but simply buys it and puts up its label, while inflating the price. Company registration - Saratov.
White coats and badges to create the suggestibility of trust, it seems that you get into a super secret research laboratory. We fell for it, bravo! And when they returned, they "sobered up", as they say. Three to four times more expensive than anywhere else. And they are ready for this, they convince that only they have quality, others have fakes. And themselves? The black cumin oil I bought is yellow, not dark, and they said it was cold pressed.. And it's sad that Russians breed their own.
Everything is bad, starting from products with a huge markup, to staff in white coats who just want to sell something. A visit to the store as part of a sightseeing tour from Anex tour
We visited this store during a free sightseeing tour of Hurghada, we liked the store itself and the assortment, but as for the consultants who are attached to each family, it can't be called anything else than a seller with a bulldog grip, it's so intrusive that it even causes protest and I don't want to take anything,the prices, of course, are cosmic 500 ml of oil black cumin with a 50% discount cost $ 45, later we bought it in the store for $ 18, you can visit the store, but I do not recommend taking oil there because of the inflated cost
A wonderful store, being in Hurghada, I always visit this place and replenish my stocks of oils and creams, this year I also took aroma crystals for inhalation, a great thing, suitable even for refreshing an apartment!
Just visited this store today. Only an unpleasant impression remained. Prices are indicated somewhere, indicated somewhere, but it is necessary to divide by two. Somewhere it is not necessary to divide. It feels like the prices are being turned as they want. A consultant is assigned to each buyer, who simply does not allow a step to step. Very intrusive and rude behavior. To my question "Can I go alone and look at everything calmly myself?" I was answered "NO!" The prices are cosmic! At the presentation, I identified several positions for myself that I planned to purchase, but when I saw the price, I changed my mind. Even taking into account the fact that this is a resort and tourists, the prices are too much…
I was in this store on a guided tour. The oils are highly diluted, the quality is very low. Divorce for a fool. High-quality oils are sold only in pharmacies, because the state controls only pharmacies. And don't waste time and money here. In the photo, the oil from Nefertiti is visible even in color as a vegetable. And in another photo, the oil was bought in Russia, Tajik in color, it is clear what it should be. Well, there is a huge difference in taste.
I know there are a lot of negative reviews about this place, but! I bought joint oil for my parents, and it works!! No matter how much it costs (their prices are average, by the way), if it helps, you will buy it. The consultants are good, not intrusive, I will go to Hurghada again, I will definitely look in.
I did not immediately write a review, there were ambivalent feelings from visiting this place, I wanted to study the issue for an objective analysis.
I hope the information below will help determine whether it is worth dealing with this store.
Now I have adopted a negative attitude for myself.
1. The psychological aspect.
A visit to the store is provoked by your travel agent (guide), the host company in Egypt (in my case, Sun international), which creates a level of trust, although, in fact, it is a direct manipulation. The store / company is positioned as an official manufacturer of oils, in fact, the store presents products from different factories, glues its labels on the packaging.
2. Marketing ploy.
A primitive way to ignite consumer interest is "today all prices are only for you -50%!" The price tags indicate * it is completely clear to everyone * inflated amounts, unrealistic prices, but 50% is also a lot (more on this later).
3. The method of control.
Walking around the store alone and choosing what is necessary will not work - everyone is provided with a consultant who *according to the classics* agitates / stimulates purchases. In principle, why not, but in an honest business there should always be a choice, there is none here.
4. Brazen speculation.
If we talk about goods, the most recognizable oils (shea butter, argan oil, black cumin) are really original, of good quality, but they are produced at the Al-Jasmine factory from raw materials from the El Fayoum plantations. Moreover, there is not a word about Nefertiti on the website of this factory (https://aljasmine.com/about-us /), and on the Nefertiti website there are no photos of the production, only loud words about all kinds of certificates. So, from the original manufacturer of these products, the prices are significantly lower. For example, the most popular black cumin oil 200 ml can be purchased for $ 9.5, in the Nefertiti store with a 50% discount it is sold for $ 23.5. That is, the store's markup is more than 100%. This explains the *unprecedented generosity* from the store in the form of gifts and treats. Frenzied cheating, of course, takes place with dishonest sellers, the buyer has the right to find the best offer, but in this case I'm talking about using your credulity by the above-mentioned guide, assuring (in unison with the consultants) that good quality and cold-pressed oils cannot cost below the stated prices (further facts that this is not the case).
5. Questionable quality of some products.
I'll tell you about the ones that came across to me. The first is sandalwood oil. I bought it for my teenage daughter. In the bustle of the store and the persistence of the consultant, who lulls attention, I did not consider the packaging in the store. The hotel was very surprised that the bottle on one side says "sandalwood oil", and on the other side - "grape seed oil" (see photo). Moreover, the contents themselves do not smell of sandalwood or grape seeds. It is clear that this is a fake..
The second is a coconut drink (see photo). I am a vegan, so I always pay attention to this kind of goods. They gave it a try in the store - I liked the taste. The powder contains only coconut and rice flour. I was confused by the price of $ 8 per package (100-150 grams, not specified exactly), refused to buy. But at the exit, the consultant presented it to us (after all, the divorce was a success and I spent $ 200 in the store). We tried it at home: the taste is completely different and most of the powder turned out to be powdered sugar, which is not even indicated in the composition, which can really be dangerous, for example, for people with diabetes..
6. The alternative.
The guide does not say this, but excellent quality oils can be purchased at any pharmacy. In Egypt, counterfeiting of medicines is strictly punished, so you don't have to worry about the quality and composition. I ran into a pharmacy kiosk in a very tourist place of Luxor - Karnak. The choice is small, but I managed to purchase 125 ml black cumin oil for $ 5 (in Nefertiti, as I said above, 200 ml costs $ 23.5) and 125 ml argan oil for $ 3 (in Nefertiti 60 ml for $ 11). Moreover, the identity of the lids (see photo) and the design is surprising - everything confirms that Nefertiti simply glues stickers on bottles..
Conclusion: the only advantage I see in visiting the Nefertiti store is that you can buy several types of goods in one place. It is necessary to consider packages with a passion, not to take questionable ones and be ready to significantly overpay (at least twice). Of course, such deception, aimed at Russian-speaking tourists, who make up more than 50% of the total tourist flow in Egypt, is frustrating. I do not exclude that in the near future such a volume of fraud will attract the attention of law enforcement agencies.
I have read the reviews and I absolutely agree, the marketing is insanely intrusive, these white coats are also for instilling confidence ... I will buy oils in Moscow, at least I will be able to navigate by the reviews. Fortunately, there was WiFi and we decided to connect first and read the reviews, and then decide whether to buy or not. Shea butter smelled like grapefruit, xs of course, maybe my oil wasn't of super quality in Moscow, but it definitely didn't smell like that. The price tag is crazy. Only if there is nowhere to spend money and you want to buy souvenirs of dubious quality for a million
I've been there twice. The second time I came consciously, knowing in advance what I would choose
The service is completely unobtrusive, I am writing this contrary to the opinion of many. They simply explain the essence of what is happening to tourists and guests in a clear and popular way, sometimes to the narrow-minded, ill-mannered, and sometimes just stupid! The prices are normal, affordable, there are discounts and gifts. I've read a lot of negativity and I disagree categorically! No one gets into your pocket, does not speak Gypsy, and in general, do not suffer from megalomania! If you don't want to take anything, don't take it! Personally, I definitely buy the real one(!!!) black cumin oil, Bedouin tea, cosmetics, honey. Payment in local currency and rubles👍😃! I recommend it to everyone! And what is advised to take at a penny price in Russia, so, my dear, is a fake.
It's expensive, but there are cool things you can buy. For example, shea butter with mango is generally a bomb. And the rest can be bought on WB or Avito
I came from Egypt and opened the soap that I brought as a gift. It stinks worse than a household one:(it's scary even to use oil inside now....It's a fig who knows what might be inside. Don't buy anything there
A non-intrusive service. The supposedly discounted price corresponds to the price of an online store in Russia. The promotion from the tour operator is designed for a fool who is willing to spend money.
Don't get fooled. Coconut draught milk- water with syrup
I can't say anything about teas. But very large bundles. And fine grinding. Which means that the factory is very large
We were on a tour, they said to buy only here, and in the end they drove us away from the pharmacy, but we went in. It was much cheaper and the quality was the same. We could have saved 200-300 dollars
The city of Tchaikovsky Aquareal shopping center..perfume for oils and perfumes Nefertiti 100% natural is a very stable and high-quality perfume. Egypt and France
It's a good store, but it's kind of expensive. There are many different oils. Of course, I understand the quality of everything, but in Egypt they don't make medicines, so I don't see the point in overpaying. Because there are so many oils for sale in the pharmacy. But those who took in Nefertiti say the quality is very good.
We just returned from Hurghada and visited this place from the guide. Thanks for the feedback, I was convinced myself of the questionable quality and high prices of these products. They immediately said we only need tea and that's it. But the store's calling staff (allegedly a doctor) conducted an extremely intrusive consultation. The price for 500 ml of oil (any) is $ 45 (at the time of 07/13/2022). Tea 4 packs of karkade 8 $ (in a good gift box). Honey cost $ 8 1 jar or 3 jars + tea $ 20. If you do not stop the consultants, they will talk for a long time, convince and persuade, they react calmly when they refuse, but they throw phrases like "victims of the pharmaceutical industry, we even treat oncology with oils, etc." I do not advise
They were in July 2022. We bought a certain amount of products for trial. We haven't tried it yet - I can't say good or bad about the products. But...the oil from joint pain with the dispenser just poured out. And not through the dispenser, but through the lid. And we were assured that the packaging was excellent. I must say right away that we did not open it, we did not even try to open it.
As a result, the natural mint extract does not smell at all, as the probe in the store smelled. 5 minutes and faded away. It seemed that the products in the samples and the products sold differ in quality.
Black cumin oil, hair oil and shea butter cream have not yet been tested.
I bought black cumin oil, the guide helped, told me how to distinguish good oil from bad, treats all diseases, they gave only 800 instead of 1600. I'm putting one on because my wife has cancer, and I don't love her anymore.
Their oils are natural and good (they were tested) The creams are wonderful, the Crystals for colds are just super! Dry deziki are also good. The coffee is good, I've been using it all for 3 years. Ask for discounts
Recently we visited this store with a guide! Very expensive!!!!! They wind up 4 times!Buy oils in pharmacies, much cheaper!
Each customer is assigned a consultant who walks with you. The staff is disgusting!
Read only negative reviews, they are true!!!!
There is no time to go to this store!!!
Our guide from the hotel suggested that we go to Hurghada and visit the Butter factory for Free, but in fact we arrived at an ordinary store in Delhi, they put us in and started driving around the ears for how much this is the best cosmetics and perfumes ! The guides from Sanmar and Korol chatted with them for one thing!
Telling almost swore that these are the best moslems and will smell for 3 days, in the end we bought 4 bottles of 100ml
For 110 dollars, an hour later we arrived at the room and realized that there was no trace of the smell!
I will try to exchange it!
Ps ruined the whole impression of the country!
It would be possible to put -10 as much and would give. They sell products without specifying the COMPOSITION on the package!! Is that even possible? The coconut milk that is given for trial in the hall does not look at all like the milk that I actually bought there. Powdered sugar to taste! Coconut 0! Well, maybe 1%-consider it not deceived). In general, it's disgusting. And I will write a complaint to the tour operator that they are taking tourists to Razvodilovo.
The drugs purchased do not match the declared quality...There is one thing in the samples, you come home, another, a couple of psychologists, buy an elephant...
We had a rest with my wife, went to this store. My wife liked the cream very much, they took more perfume for themselves and my son, too, everything is fine.
It is a very tourist place, tourists are constantly brought here and bred for money, it is much cheaper to buy in other places, on the causer and on the charaton
