The hotel is not for a long stay, I say right away. Quite worn and old. A couple of years ago I was more impressed than now. No repairs have been made since then. The rooms are very different. We were first given a room with a small window, barely interrogated to change it to a normal one! After the replacement, they gave a chic, spacious room with a panoramic window and a view of the lagoon.

We were first given a room with a small window, barely interrogated to change it to a normal one! After the replacement, they gave a chic, spacious room with a panoramic window and a view of the lagoon. Everything was in the room. Cleaning, if you can call it that, was daily. In fact, this is just a change of towels, an addition of tea / coffee, etc. and 0.5 water per person. Sand is everywhere, it is very fine in the UAE and sticky. It is a long walk to the city beach, there is a shuttle. In the beach area on the second line, we ate in the Russian-Tatar restaurant Kazan, we know it and love it, we should have settled closer to it. The hotel food is very monotonous, poor and not worth the money! From the rest of the impressions are mixed. had fun as best they could to forget about the hotel negativity.

I went to Sharjah for work, booked a room in Aryana, many other hotels were busy due to the holidays. There was a bit of a wait for check in, but that wasn't a problem for me. The hotel has fast, free wi-fi, what you need for work. I had a double room overlooking the Al Kasbah area. All amenities and services were there.

I only had time to have breakfast at the hotel. The hotel restaurant had a buffet with various side dishes, eggs, fruits, muesli, hearty, delicious. Basically, I had lunch and dinner in various restaurants, in one of them - the restaurant "Kazan" there was a business lunch. This restaurant is located at the Al Seef Hotel (10 minutes by car from Aryana) where I had a meeting. The menu is varied, the dishes are all cooked with high quality, kebabs and ribs are juicy and tasty. The maintenance staff does a great job.
The location of the hotel suited me, there are many shops around, I rented a car, the hotel has its own private parking (free).
The beach is about 10 minutes walk, I have not been there often, but the beach is clean, the sea is warm. In the mornings I went to the pool, it is indoor here, with a gorgeous view there is also a gym.
At the end of my trip, I visited a mountain and desert Safari. Riding along dry riverbeds, visiting a Bedouin village, swimming in the cleanest lakes and oriental dances from beauties is unforgettable. My colleague lived in the Summer Land Hotel (5 minutes walk from the Kazan restaurant), and he advised me the company that is located in this hotel, and I bought excursions from her. Decent travel company, interesting and responsible guides.

We rested with my father in November 2016 in Sharjah, Aryana Hotel 4 *. My father is no longer a young boy, so I really wanted him to rest in body and soul, to be able to enjoy the atmosphere of the UAE, this is his first trip abroad. I started planning the trip in advance, I wanted to give him such a gift for his birthday. I took my choice of hotel very seriously. The main criterion was the location of the hotel, I still wanted not in the middle of nowhere, but closer to the center. The distance to the sea was important for me, as we traveled not only in order to swim in the pool all week. The sea was not far from the hotel, the beaches are clean, umbrellas, sunbeds everything was, but minus - paid umbrellas and sunbeds. Since it is hard for my father to walk a lot, the hotel provides a free shuttle to the sea. We ate for slaughter, for a week of rest I gained 3 kg, which shocked me, but it's worth it. Various options for dishes, all delicious, lots of fruit. We went on a sightseeing tour in Dubai. I advise everyone.

We left Kyiv on January 24 for the UAE. The tour offered Ariana in Sharjah 4 *, a very good hotel. The hotel is not the first freshness, the furniture is a bit shabby, they cleaned it in the afternoon. Wi-fi in the room, they took the password at the reception. The Internet worked well, there was no Russian channel on TV.

The hotel is not the first freshness, the furniture is a bit shabby, they cleaned it in the afternoon. Wi-fi in the room, they took the password at the reception. The Internet worked well, there was no Russian channel on TV.
In the reviews, they were afraid that Russians and Ukrainians would be accommodated in room 13 from our arrival, 15 people, no one was accommodated there.
The hotel is located near the Eye of the Emirates Wheel. Nearby is a colored fountain in Shaoji, at 20.00 and 21.00 there is a laser show. To the left of the hotel is a carefor supermarket where you can buy groceries, milk, salads, delicious chicken. The hotels took breakfast. quite normal, oatmeal every day and some dishes of Arabic cuisine, fruits, muesli. On the 6th floor there is a small swimming pool and a gym. There is a bus to the beach, there were paid and free. Paid 30 derhams, somewhere around 60 hryvnia per person. Well, sunbeds, towels, sunbeds. Nothing for free. . .
we went to Dubai on our own (thanks to Dmitry Solovin’s review, sorry if I spelled my last name wrong)): a taxi to the Sahara pier is 10 derhams, then we went through the grid and again a taxi, but already Dubai to the Stadium metro, and then by metro. The metro is very simple. figure it out. Sharjah went on foot and took a taxi.
The maximum on the counter was 15 derhams. The tour pleased us, especially Natasha, who took care of us in Sharjah. Clever, beautiful.
In general, I liked Sharjah the most, but you need to see Dubai, especially the fountain.
I hope the review helps. Have a nice holiday

All Russian speakers are first placed in rooms with number 13 at the end. The window in it is small and is located between the two walls of the hotel. You feel like you're locked in a crypt. After contacting the hotel manager with a complaint, they did not move immediately, referring to the lack of rooms, but only after a few days.

After contacting the hotel manager with a complaint, they did not move immediately, referring to the lack of rooms, but only after a few days. At the end of the holiday, they discovered the loss of a winter hat and winter shoes. But these are still flowers. Two young women with a small daughter settled in the hotel with us, so they lost all their winter shoes. And in Novosibirsk - 20. They called the police, representatives of the Tez tour, but it all ended to no avail. It is still not clear who needed winter clothes in the UAE? Everything else, in principle, I liked it.

We stayed at this hotel from 28.11. by 4.12. Departure from ROSTOV, operator Tez tour. The cost for two, plus a child, was 26.000, excluding visas. Quite ridiculous money for this hotel. Night flight, a little tiring. Border crossing, retinal scanning - promptly, without delay. It all took about an hour.

We stayed at this hotel from 28.11. by 4.12. Departure from ROSTOV, operator Tez tour. The cost for two, plus a child, was 26.000, excluding visas. Quite ridiculous money for this hotel. Night flight, a little tiring. Border crossing, retinal scanning - promptly, without delay. It all took about an hour. Transfer - no problem. We arrived at 10:00 and waited for check-in until 13:30. Rooms standard 22 sq. m. Spacious. Plumbing is new. We got a room with a partial view of the bay. Room 2408. The view from the room is mesmerizing. There is a kettle in the room, all accessories. No deposit is taken. Everything is working properly.
There was a problem: Connecting the kettle - an adapter is needed. The girl at the reception solved it in five minutes. Just with
ask for: adapter. did not have to wait. I recommend to solve all questions about the hotel with a Russian-speaking boy named: Beck. A positive person will help in everything. Yes, and representatives of Teza all helped with information on the city, on settling.
The hotel is very well located, near the promenade, cafes. we only took breakfast, because the plans did not include being attached to the hotel. Breakfasts are decent. There were always watermelons, melons, canned pineapples, pancakes, meat, cheeses, scrambled eggs. The only negative: to drink tea, coffee, you need to call the waiter. But this does not spoil the overall picture of the hotel.
The beach is ten minutes from the hotel. There is paid and free. We have visited both. Transfer at 9.00. First they bring it to the free-clean, without sunbeds, deck chairs. The cost of paid 20 dirhams. Here is a complete set: shower, sun loungers, pool. Paid at the hotel.
Not far from the beach there is an aquarium, ten minutes walk, on the right side of the road. very worthy. We were on holidays, so admission was free. A delight for the kids, and adults are also curious. You can get to the beach by taxi: the cost is 10 dirhams. I don’t advise you to get there yourself: with the apparent proximity of the beach, go on foot for half an hour for sure.
I do not recommend taking tours with operators. You can see everything on your own even in Sharjah or Dubai. The prices are too high. And it makes sense to pay for what you can see yourself.
From the hotel at 16.00 there is a bus to Dubai to Deira City. Back at 21.00. We sit in the subway, it is better to take a card for the whole day, its cost is 16 dir. , and we look at everything ourselves. Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa, Emirates Towers, all on the same branch. but to climb the Burj Khalifa, you need to book tickets a few days in advance. There is a website, everything is easy and simple. Upon arrival, we change the electronic printout for tickets. With this option, the cost of lifting 100 dir. BUT you can immediately without reservation, at the place, the cost is 400 dir. You decide. The top view is mesmerizing.
I advise you to visit the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in ABU DHABI. We took this tour on a free beach for 50 bucks. The guys are not intrusive, pleasant to talk to. All Russian speakers. TESA is more expensive. The price includes lunch. The mosque must be seen with your own eyes. It's hard to describe this.
In Sharjah, you can and should see the singing fountains that are located in the bay. They are accompanied by a laser light show. The whole history of the country before your eyes in 20 minutes. The beginning of the holidays was at 20.00.
You can go to the market: trains for magnets, silk, etc. it's better to take a taxi here. A bit far: we paid 13 dir from the hotel. There is a break from 14 to 16.
The result of the trip: the rest was a success. The hotel deserves a four. Not pompous, but quite decent.
Departure 4.12. 2012 at 22.40. Transfer 19.20 no complaints.
What upset me when flying home: the behavior of a group of people on board, like a tagil, steers. Thought it was a relic of the past!
SUCCESSFUL REST ALL.

In just 41 years, you can build a fairy tale... the desert will come to life with beautiful oases and rise with the most extraordinary skyscrapers, magnificent lagoons, breakwaters of extraordinary size....so that you would be amazed and RETURN again and again...
So the trip itself
Number of days : 5 days, 4 nights
Emirate: Sharjah
Hotel: Ariana 4*
ARRIVAL: We arrived at Dubai airport on Friday 30th, on this day it was raining with thunderstorms in the Emirates, we landed a little circled over the airport))) PARTICULARLY NERVOUS read prayers))) My husband and I calmly looked out the window)) beauty is indescribable, everything burns in even lines, as if they are all drawing under the ruler)))) and under the compass))) LIGHTNING sparkled with them and the EMIRATES)
AIRPORT: to say that it is big is to say nothing))) you can hire a small car with your luggage will be delivered faster, tapes like treadmills if your legs are tired, or running with a suitcase in the old proven Ukrainian way)))
MEETING side: from Ukraine they scared us with horror stories that the meeting side could be different, that is, some kind of their home. But the horror stories were not confirmed TEZ TOUR met us and provided the transfer. The main thing is not to miss people with signs. as soon as you leave the building you need to turn your head to the left there and there will be a million people with signs, and if you fly like we are through TEZ TOUR then there will be no problems.
!! ! At the girl on the plane, I saw something that my agent was talking about with some tour operators THE TRUTH, THE COMPANY OF THE MEETING PARTY IS DIFFERENT!! ! The company of the meeting party itself is in its documents (I don’t remember the name) and I didn’t remember the tour operator either... so it’s better immediately ask the agent about WHO WILL MEET YOU, BECAUSE NO ONE WILL BE CARRYING WITH YOU ON ARRIVAL. THAT WOULD NOT THEN RUN ALL OVER THE AIRPORT as some did...
TRANSFER: Well, everything is clear here. Cool bus with air conditioning, drive to the hotel no more than 15 minutes. Very quickly we got to Sharjah. REMEMBERING TURKEY and 3.5 hours to UTOPIA IN ALANYA!!! ! this transfer was lightning fast. . . did not have time to consider.......... everyone has already arrived.
HOTEL: ARIANA HOTEL 4* Sharjah.
PROS: the hotel is VERY conveniently located in the Al Kasbah lagoon, a great place for evening walks along the canal where you can ride an abra boat, a park area. EYE OF THE EMIRATES (Eye of the Emirates) the Ferris wheel, according to ours, is visible directly from the window, the cabins in it are air-conditioned... a miracle. In the evening there are a lot of cafes and attractions, along the waterfront and children's towns and wonderful shops.
HOW TO ORIENTATE: EXIT THE HOTEL TURN YOUR HEAD TO THE RIGHT THE EYE OF THE EMIRATES you will see, move straight towards it. in front of you will be a fancy building in oriental style, it is long. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT A HOTEL, but no, this is a separating wall in which there are cafes and shops on the other side.
NUMBER: we got a room on the 17th floor, knowing the numbers on the Internet, I was scared!! ! THERE IS NO WINDOW IN OUR ROOM!! ! after 3 minutes, my husband found him (something like) small, like in Savdepov's bathroom, so that you understand the size. We reluctantly laid out things ( BUT I could not stand it and went to the reception. POLITELY asked to change the room and without problems and money received a room with one bed and a HUGE window on the 18th floor. A room with a view of the lagoon and the EYE OF THE EMIRATES! ))))
FOOD: this is not TURKEY, I emphasize !! ! who lived in Turkish fives like UTOPIA WORLD will understand me. I can’t say if you will be full, I’ll just list the menu....decide for yourself
WE ONLY HAVE BREAKFASTS It makes no sense to take dinner, you can not return from excursions yet.
BREAKFAST: milk, muesli, egg (boiled, fried), oatmeal porridge, beans, vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers), chopped onions, croissants (confiture for them), Arabic flatbreads for them, sauces, fried sausages, tea, coffee, assorted juices from automatic machines. You can dry yourself a toast or bake a PENCAKE and pour over syrup (VERY TASTY) you just need to go to the machine and press OK for 2 pancakes, it looks like pancakes)
CLEANING OF THE ROOM: every day, toiletries are replenished.
POOL: there is in the middle of the hotel, we were not able to say anything. The LOBBY is very decent, beautiful! Internet is working. Both in the room and in the lobby for free!!!!
ANOTHER MAIN PLUS: the day before departure, a fax is brought to the room when you are in the lobby. The fax contains your number, surname and time. CONVENIENT. IF THE DEPARTURE IS FOR HOURS SO 7 AND YOU WANT ANOTHER SWIMMING THIS DAY, YOU CAN JUST ASK NOT TO CHECK OUT UNTIL 13.30 - 14.00 MAXIMUM - politely!! ! - YOU WILL BE ALLOWED AND WILL NOT TAKE EXTRA PAYMENTS!!! ! after that, you can leave your things near the reception and once again take a walk along the Al Kasbah lagoon, which we did.
TIPS: They don't insist but are very happy.
MINUSES: IMMEDIATELY I WILL SAY THE HOTEL IS NOT FOR THE FASTEST. IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE WHO SEE JOINTS on the wallpaper, or errors in the plaster - YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO HERE. ALL HOTELS ARE BUILT AT A RECORD RATE. . . the quality of interior work suffers. THE ROOM WAS CLEAN, the window opened, which is important... the bedding is white and crisp. ALL TOILET ACCESSORIES. BUT THE HOTEL IS BUDGET.
BUS TO THE BEACH: there is but only one, if you want to be in time, hurry up exactly at 9:00 I UNDERSTAND NOT AT 9:0.9:02 but exactly at 9:00 it leaves. The DRIVER leaves strictly on the clock. So you have to be punctual. Carry to choose from or to the municipal beach 10 minutes. ride free entrance, towels with you, or on the beach of the CARLTON hotel for a fee, sunbeds and towels are included in the price. PICK UP STRICTLY ON TIME 13:00. TAXI LATE.
BUS in DUBAI: remember to be punctual 16:00 to 21:00. BRING to the Deira area near the metro. Then you are the master of your time.
METRO: buy a card for 20 dirhams ($ 5), of which 14 are on your account ($ 3.80), very convenient. All stations are numbered enough to remember the number. At the entrance, fit the card and look at the account, it is convenient to replenish it immediately or when the money runs out.
EXCURSIONS: we have not been on any paid excursions.
ALL BY YOURSELF ON BUSES AND TAXI
WHAT WE CAN SEE:
-ABU DHABI (Sheikh Zayed White Mosque, Ferrari World - the largest indoor park in the world)
- DUBAI (BURJ KHALIFA, Dubai mall, aquarium, water zoo, elite area JUMEIRU, were right at the entrance to the BURJ AL ARAB (SAILBOAT) hotel, took a ride on the metro, evening Dubai)
- FUJAIRAH (KORFAKAN beach, mountains, ocean, university)
- SHARJAH (fountain, Al QASBA lagoon, promenade, EYE OF THE EMIRATES)
EMIRATES is a fairy tale. A SEA OF IMPRESSIONS from the fish curiously swimming up to your feet, the incredible beauty and purity of the water, starfish, skyscrapers, entertainment and the enormous working capacity of the visiting population. FOR US, THIS IS A REST, for them the opportunity to earn a living for their families, for the indigenous people this is an occasion to show that WE ARE A COUNTRY WHICH WAS OUT OF THE WORLD IN 41 YEARS... because the illiterate Arabs who came out of the desert, who can’t write, not count, moved from camels to the most expensive cars in the world.... Arabs whom the country pays for education and medicine anywhere in the world, Arabs who wear white, revere Allah and hide the faces of their women. DEEPLY HONOR THEIR COUNTRY AND ARE PROUD OF IT.
The UAE is a fairy tale that has come true!!!
GO and you won't regret it! GOOD HOLIDAY TO YOU!!! !
So the trip itself
Number of days : 5 days, 4 nights
Emirate: Sharjah

ALL HOTELS ARE BUILT AT A RECORD RATE. . . the quality of interior work suffers. THE ROOM WAS CLEAN, the window opened, which is important... the bedding is white and crisp. ALL TOILET ACCESSORIES. BUT THE HOTEL IS BUDGET.
BUS TO THE BEACH: there is but only one, if you want to be in time, hurry up exactly at 9:00 I UNDERSTAND NOT AT 9:0.9:02 but exactly at 9:00 it leaves. The DRIVER leaves strictly on the clock. So you have to be punctual. Carry to choose from or to the municipal beach 10 minutes. ride free entrance, towels with you, or on the beach of the CARLTON hotel for a fee, sunbeds and towels are included in the price. PICK UP STRICTLY ON TIME 13:00. TAXI LATE.
BUS in DUBAI: remember to be punctual 16:00 to 21:00. BRING to the Deira area near the metro. Then you are the master of your time.
METRO: buy a card for 20 dirhams ($ 5), of which 14 are on your account ($ 3.80), very convenient. All stations are numbered enough to remember the number. At the entrance, fit the card and look at the account, it is convenient to replenish it immediately or when the money runs out.
EXCURSIONS: we have not been on any paid excursions.
ALL BY YOURSELF ON BUSES AND TAXI
WHAT WE CAN SEE:
-ABU DHABI (Sheikh Zayed White Mosque, Ferrari World - the largest indoor park in the world)
- DUBAI (BURJ KHALIFA, Dubai mall, aquarium, water zoo, elite area JUMEIRU, were right at the entrance to the BURJ AL ARAB (SAILBOAT) hotel, took a ride on the metro, evening Dubai)
- FUJAIRAH (KORFAKAN beach, mountains, ocean, university)
- SHARJAH (fountain, Al QASBA lagoon, promenade, EYE OF THE EMIRATES)
EMIRATES is a fairy tale. A SEA OF IMPRESSIONS from the fish curiously swimming up to your feet, the incredible beauty and purity of the water, starfish, skyscrapers, entertainment and the enormous working capacity of the visiting population. FOR US, THIS IS A REST, for them the opportunity to earn a living for their families, for the indigenous people this is an occasion to show that WE ARE A COUNTRY WHICH WAS OUT OF THE WORLD IN 41 YEARS... because the illiterate Arabs who came out of the desert, who can’t write, not count, moved from camels to the most expensive cars in the world.... Arabs whom the country pays for education and medicine anywhere in the world, Arabs who wear white, revere Allah and hide the faces of their women. DEEPLY HONOR THEIR COUNTRY AND ARE PROUD OF IT.
The UAE is a fairy tale that has come true!!!
GO and you won't regret it! GOOD HOLIDAY TO YOU!!! !
