The first time we went to the UAE to see more decided to buy a ticket 2 + 5.2 days in Dubai at 4 * for breakfast and 5 days in Fujairah at 5 * AI. The UAE is usually impressed by economic development. Comparing with Egypt at a high level of service, prices are clearly high. But I like the climate and the sea in Egypt more.

The Carlton Tower Hotel is conveniently located 2 minutes' walk from the hotel. to Baniyas Square Metro (former Nasser Square). Here you can buy equipment and fur coats.

We spent a wonderful holiday here, very pleased with our choice. The room was provided immediately arrived at the hotel, the room was given a good, spacious and bright with a luxurious double bed)))) In the room of technology there is everything you need for comfort. I must say right away that we did not pay extra for the room. Very polite and helpful guys work at the reception, apparently they found out that we were newlyweds and fruits and all sorts of different sweets were waiting for us in the room)))) The food was good at the hotel, they even liked the breakfasts, there was a feast for dinner) At lunch we went to different cafes and restaurants, here you can find a cozy place and an inexpensive meal nearby. The beach itself is spacious, sandy, there was enough space for everyone, the water is excellent. In general, the holiday was great! I recommend everyone to visit this hotel!

So the vacation is over, and it's so nice to remember these summer days in the UAE, especially in the four-star CARLTON TOWER HOTEL.

The room is spacious with wooden furniture, there is everything for making a cup of coffee or tea in the morning, and there is also a minibar. As for the kitchen, I didn’t really like their dishes, so it saved me that they also practice Russian cuisine. And as I remember the outdoor pool , which is located at the very top of the hotel, did not miss a single day so as not to taste it, and sunbathed on comfortable chairs there. So thanks to Sunmar, because I needed to quickly book a tour through the online booking system and Sunmar helped me a lot. It turned out to be very convenient, especially when there is no time for long reflections. Now there is only a sea of impressions and a whole mountain of photographs. Well, I also could not do without shopping, because the hotel is located in the very center of the city, there is a shop on the shop, so there will be enough things for the whole year.

I have been to the UAE many times, and the choice of the hotel was treated with an understanding of what I needed. Carlton Tower is located in a very convenient location, Deira district, 2 minutes from Nasser Square, where the main shopping malls of Dubai are located. Also from the hotel in 5 minutes you can drive to the city center, well, or walk for about 20 minutes.

Service at the hotel is excellent, everything was done on demand. Good breakfasts and hearty dinners, especially the fish (I don’t know which one) in batter with sweet and sour sauce was very tasty.
From the hotel every day there is a free shuttle to the beach, or Jumeirah or Al Mamzar. I think Jumeirah is better.
The rooms were cleaned every day, there are no complaints about cleaning.
From excursions, I advise you to go to the new water park on the palm island, jeep safaris, night crab hunting. On Friday for the whole day (since nothing works on this day), you can go on an excursion to the Indian Ocean.

Our first trip to the UAE. When choosing a hotel, we proceeded from the cost, travel agency advice and reviews on various sites. We did not find any reviews for this hotel. We chose it because the hotel is located in the city center, there is a swimming pool, internet. This is one of the first hotels in Dubai, the oldest, one might say.

Our first trip to the UAE. When choosing a hotel, we proceeded from the cost, travel agency advice and reviews on various sites. We did not find any reviews for this hotel. We chose it because the hotel is located in the city center, there is a swimming pool, internet. This is one of the first hotels in Dubai, the oldest, one might say. The building has 12 floors. Our number was on the last one. Great view of the Creek. Minus the hotel - balconies only on the top floor. The room is basically normal, everything is neat, but you can see from the furniture that it is far from new, the air conditioning and TV worked well. They cleaned every day and very well - they changed linen and towels regularly, put shampoos, soap, shower gels in the bathroom - they didn’t forget. It turned out to visit several rooms on the lower floors - there is new furniture, air conditioning and TVs. We concluded: the renovation is done gradually, updating floor by floor. The food was great, we had breakfast. The food is varied: meat, fish, lots of vegetables, not to mention sweets. There were no problems with the appliances, only once I ran out of cups and the waiter immediately brought clean. In general, the staff was very friendly and service was good. We are very glad that we did not find any reviews before the trip. I have formed my own opinion. Positive. If you wish, you can find fault with everything, we enjoyed the rest and new emotions, and did not look for flaws in everything.

We got to Dubai via Abu Dhabi. We were picked up from Abu Dhabi Airport by an Air Astana bus and dropped off at Dubai Airport. The journey took two hours.

We got to Dubai via Abu Dhabi. We were picked up from Abu Dhabi Airport by an Air Astana bus and dropped off at Dubai Airport. The journey took two hours. There we were supposed to be met by representatives of the Royal Park company and taken to the Carlton Tower Hotel and provided with a guide. Nobody met us. Having wandered around the terminal of the Dubai airport, through a representative of another travel company, we found our meeting people, who had already forgotten about us, and met the next group of people arriving from Russia after us. If we knew that they would not meet us, it would be better to take a taxi to the hotel. All in all it was a 10 minute drive. Bottom line: We arrived at the hotel at 4 am on November 7th. Although we had it paid from the 6th from 14.00. The guide from Royal Park called only the next day and made an appointment for us at 15.00. But an hour before the meeting, having called back, she postponed the meeting to 20.00. Looking ahead, I will inform you that the tours offered by Royal Park are more expensive than those of other companies. And considering themselves monopolists, they simply become impudent with clients.
In a crowded place of tourists (usually a beach), agents of various travel agencies (our former compatriots) hand out colored brochures with excursions. The same is offered. Prices and buses offered by class and comfort may vary slightly. All of them are licensed and operate legally. Warnings that third-party services cannot be used are not true. The laws there are strict and no one works without a license. Therefore, we gave up on Royal Park and used the services of their competitors. Everything was OK.
Exchangers are available at every step and the course is the same everywhere. There is no deception. Do not waste time looking for a "favorable rate" like ours. It's just not there.
And now about the Carlton Tower Hotel 4*. The hotel was built in the 70s and was renovated in 2001. It does not pull on 4 stars, but we practically only spent the night in it. In the morning we were taken by a hotel bus to the paid beach of Al Mamzar Beach. Or Jumeirah Beach. They brought us in for lunch. After lunch excursions or shopping.
Liked the service staff. Always smiling and ready to fulfill your request immediately. They treat their customers like they are long-term acquaintances who are very welcome. The rooms are clean. Cleaning is thorough. The kitchen is good. Swimming pool with a magnificent view of the bay (channel)
When we left home, Air Astana representatives gathered us all in one place to take us to Abu Dhabi airport. There, while waiting for departure, all the tourists shared their opinions about their hotels. Everyone was not happy. At the same time, most lived in 5-star hotels. Someone was not always given the prescribed water, someone was credited with the received water (paid in excess of the norm), someone was credited with a bill. The problem is that none of them tried to object in their hotel. Someone was shy. Someone thought that because of these little things you should not swear. Someone simply could not speak English (in my opinion the main reason).
In our hotel in the first days, the free water was not brought to the room. We made a remark at the Reception. The second time they didn’t bring it - they made the suggestion louder. Without shouting, but persistently. We have been respected. They began to bring two bottles instead of one put.
Adviсe:
1. Knowledge of the language is desirable.
2. The first days do not carry large sums with you. You risk spending everything at once. Be like. Look. On the third day, we bought everything that we planned, three times cheaper than we were offered in the first days. Bargain. Smile. Don't leave with an offended face. This is a show that everyone will enjoy. Feel free to cut the price in half. Slowly yielding to each other, you will come to the true price.
3. Cheaper than ours - fur coats, gold, photo-television equipment, mobile phones, clothes for adults (if you bargain). In large markets (malls) everything is expensive. Go to simple shops. There, except for fashion, everything is the same, but cheaper. Where there are price tags, there is no bargaining.
4. There are a lot of all kinds of eateries and restaurants around any hotels. Eat there. Much cheaper than hotels. Get food and drinks with water at grocery stores for a simple in-room snack. Don't go to restaurants every day.
5. There are semi-underground restaurants for "Russians" where there is beer and alcohol. Keep in mind that it's super expensive there. A mug of simple beer, which in our cafes in Astana costs 400-600 tenge (3-4 dollars), is three to four times more expensive there. Buy cigarettes and alcohol in advance at Duty Free.

We rested at the Carlton Tower in February 2008. Cozy rooms (each floor has its own design), good service, helpful attentive staff, delicious and varied food and amazing desserts at lunch (tiramisu has never been tastier anywhere! ), breakfast is normal in general, it’s not necessary at times, sometimes the assortment was smaller , sometimes more, fruit salad is delicious at breakfast; the pool on the roof of the second floor (protruding) is large, you can swim normally, from the area near the pool there is a beautiful view of the Dubai Creek (this is their channel).

We rested at the Carlton Tower in February 2008. Cozy rooms (each floor has its own design), good service, helpful attentive staff, delicious and varied food and amazing desserts at lunch (tiramisu has never been tastier anywhere! ), breakfast is normal in general, it’s not necessary at times, sometimes the assortment was smaller , sometimes more, fruit salad is delicious at breakfast; the pool on the roof of the second floor (protruding) is large, you can swim normally, from the area near the pool there is a beautiful view of the Dubai Creek (this is their channel). The hotel bus takes you to and from the beach. Cons: strong audibility in the rooms, you can hear people talking in the next room or the phone rings, etc. We were first settled in a room on the second floor, above the nightclub, it was very noisy, and we moved to the 6th floor.
The contingent in the hotel is mostly foreigners, Russians (in the sense of all Russian speakers), probably 15 percent. Go to the Greek restaurant in this hotel, they beat plates for good luck and then dance, according to the Greek custom. People from other hotels also came there, they say it's cool.
The hotel has a very convenient location, right next to Dubai Creek and Nasser Square, there are many shops, including branded ones (although there are some with fakes! , we saw it ourselves), as well as fur coats. As the guides advised, it is better to buy fur coats and equipment on Nasser Square.
It’s better to shop in terms of clothes in malls, they are huge there, we went into the store at 11 am and left at 10 pm without having time to get around everything. Most of all I liked the Mall of the Emirates, which is adjacent to the Ski Dubai ski resort, you can watch the Arabs frolicking in the snow (mostly they are there) through the glass wall. Lots of cafes. From the hotel to get 12 dollars.
There were often problems with a taxi, it is very difficult to catch on the street, there are huge queues for taxis at the exit of the malls. It is better not to travel with private traders, they charge unrealistic prices. Some other taxi drivers do not like to travel short distances (for example, from a hotel in Deira City Center), they should probably offer an overcharge on top of the meter.
We were during the shopping festival, there are big discounts everywhere. We read in advertisements that the Emirates Mall has discounts all year round in every second boutique. You can buy cool branded items.
We shopped in the malls of Deira City Center (cool, 5 minutes drive from the hotel, by taxi 3 dollars in terms of dirhams), Bar Juman (also good, 10 minutes), Lamsey Plaza (10 minutes, democratic, many cafes), Wafi (in pyramids, pretentious, there is a cool Marks and Spencer store, 10 minutes).
From the excursions we went to Abu Dhabi, on a jeep safari (it’s not at all scary, just bring warm clothes with you, you can jackets, it’s very cold in the desert in the evening) and to the water park. All liked it!
7 days was not enough! With our love of shopping and their amazing stores-)
