So you’ve booked or are looking to book Neverland (Jungle Aqua Park/Alf Leila Wa Leila) Well here are my views/tips on all of the commonly asked questions I’ve seen asked online before going to Egypt.
If your on your way to Hurghada or travelling in the next few days check out my last article Hurghada first things to do when you land!
Is it safe to travel to Egypt?
Yes, Egypt is a perfectly safe place of the world to visit and I felt extremely safe here every hotel has lots of security. Also with lots of police checkpoints on the roads
Although this is just a general view it’s always worth checking out the FCDO Website before you travel for up to date advice.
Visas
This was covered in “Hurghada first things to do when you land!” so head to that article for a more in-depth explanation.
Buy at the airport for 25$/£25/€25 in cash, E-visas more hassle than their worth.
What Activities are there at Neverland, and how much do they cost?
At the hotel there is a ridiculous amount of things for the kids to do, and nearly all of them are free! I’ll split them into 2 categories below.
Free activities
VR arcade – Open from around 7 pm every night this is truly an awesome area for kids to have fun.
Amusement Park/Fair Ground Midway – We spent nearly every evening here as there are about 12 rides for the children and adults also! The beauty of it is there is a bar nearby and a stage with some entertainment also
Ice Rink – Pretty self-explanatory located at the front of midway to the left looking from the amusement park. Remember to bring socks.
PS5 room – Located basically directly below reception take the stairs down and into the corner.
Neverland Dinner Show – As the name suggests it is a dinner show at the Neverland Amphitheatre, you can book this once per stay. I would suggest booking soon after arrival as there is usually a 4-5 day wait for tickets.
4-person bikes – These are very popular and you get 30 minutes free although they don’t record times so if you go for longer your not going to be charged the bike station is located near the ice rink, you can do laps of the entire complex.
Paid Activities
Pool Tables – Located all the way to the left of the main restaurant strip
Water Zorbing – Located in the pool outside of the main restaurant strip in the evenings. Cost $5
Mini drift karts – located just on the opposite side of the pool outside the main strip of restaurants. Cost 5$
No doubt, I would have missed out so much on this so feel free to drop a comment below with details and i’ll get it added!
Do I need to bring towels?
You do not need to bring any towels with you on holiday, the rooms have plenty of towels for showering. Plus they will swap for clean towels every day.
When you check in, you will be given a towel card for each person. Dotted around the complex are towel boxes where you can exchange these for Pool/Beach towels, and can be exchanged as much as you like for clean towels.
Is shower gel etc provided in the room or do we have to bring our own?
They provide shower gel on the wall which they fill up when needed and they also provide small bottles of shampoo and conditioner. They also provide hand soap and if needed shower cap, toothbrush and comb.
What alcoholic drinks are at Neverland?
There is Beer, Red/White/Rose wine plus a full menu of cocktails in picture below, they’ll also make pretty much whatever you want if you ask them.
Where is the best place to book excursions/day trips?
Experience the enchantment of Egypt with must-do excursions beyond the usual tourist spots. A top-rated adventure is the Orange Bay boat trip in Hurghada, available on GetYourGuide. It includes two snorkelling stops and lunch, promising a memorable day at sea. For a direct booking to this favourite Hurghada trip, just click here.
What’s the best hotel transfer?
The most cost-effective and efficient way to arrange your transfer is with the website Hoppa you can get a return private transfer from the airport for around £20/$20/€20.
Can you order Uber to Jungle Aqua Park?
Uber services are available for pick-up at the hotel’s front entrance, but you must meet the driver there. For drop-offs, Ubers can enter the hotel to take you to reception provided that your wristbands are shown to the gate’s security.
What are the different room types?
At Neverland there are 3 different room types each one is detailed below
Standard Room
These rooms are usually located in the Alf Leila part of the complex, located between P and U on the map at the bottom of this post.
Bungalows with pool/garden view
These are the most popular rooms and are located all over the map below shown by the orange roofs, the most popular feature being the sliding doors to separate the 2 sleeping areas.
Family Suite
These are located in the Water Valley area (O on the map at the bottom of post) of the resort and consist of 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and a lounge area there is a video below to show you how incredible these suites are.
Whats the Aqua Park like?
The main reason we all book here right? Is for the Aqua park hoping for hours of relaxation while the children are off having a blast. Or for the big kids (We’ve all got a little bit in us!) who want to get in on the thrills as well. Well this is Egypt’s biggest waterpark included for guests right on your doorstep
The waterpark at the Neverland resort comprises two primary sections: the water valley area and the jungle aqua park area, along with additional smaller areas. It caters to all age groups, though certain slides have height and weight restrictions. Despite these limitations, there is ample opportunity for everyone to enjoy themselves.
Are mosquitos at Neverland Jungle Aqua Park?
We arrived armed & prepared with an abundance of mosquito repellents, antihistamines, creams and more. We were ready for battle! However, we found that for the first part of our trip, we were left alone by the little critters.
The temperature reached 34c for a few days. We found these were the evenings they came out to feast, mainly on our feet and lower legs. The temperature lowered again and we were left alone.
We had purchased some camel milk cream from the pharmacy which also helped soothe the itching (also great for sunburn) and have also heard from other guests that Off spray which you can buy from the on site pharmacy and Spinneys at Senzo mall also works a treat.
All in all, I wouldn’t say it’s awful for mosquitoes as many guests survived their whole trip without a single bite but it never hurts to arrive prepared!
