I dreamed of visiting Dubai for a long time, and now my husband gave me a luxurious gift for March 8 - a trip to this wonderful country. We organized the trip ourselves, without a travel agency, we planned a sightseeing vacation, as we flew for 3 days. To be honest, we returned with a feeling of slight depression and envy, because we certainly expected to see a well-organized country, but we saw a real miracle. As for the trip: we flew with Fly Dubai, whose representatives made us individual visas. Everything was clear and well organized. Since we wanted to see as much as possible in three days, we decided to book a hotel in the Deira area, whose name was Comfort Inn. In principle, we liked everything in this hotel: we lived on the 3rd floor, there was no noise, everything was quiet and calm, the room was cleaned every day, although we positioned the hotel only as a place to relax at night, so we were not in it all day It was. True, when paying on the last day, it turned out that in addition to taxes, the hotel also takes money for cleaning rooms (an additional 10 percent), it seems to me that you need to somehow inform customers about this in advance, although maybe we ourselves did not carefully study the conditions of the reservation. I also note that we did not eat at the hotel, we bought yogurts for breakfast in the supermarket opposite the hotel, and had lunch and dinner in different cafes. We didn’t really like Obzorka because of the stupid stops like the falconry center or the carpet selling center, but we are simply delighted with the safari. Snowboarding on the dunes, the safari itself, quad biking and delicious donuts in the Bedouin village will stay with us for a lifetime. We were also delighted with the excursion to Abu Dhabi for two reasons - the guide Luba, who incessantly told a lot of very interesting information, and the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. My husband and I have already traveled to 33 countries, but we have never seen such beauty. Shopping in the Emirates is also very, very good. Branded items are cheaper than in Kyiv, and of course the choice is huge. I also really liked to travel by taxi - fast and not very expensive. The only disadvantage of Dubai is that the city is not very suitable for walking, there are very long distances between attractions, although you can walk in the Dubai Marina and Madinat Jumeirah areas, and of course in the malls and near the Burj Khalifa. We ordered tickets to the Burj Khalifa on the Internet, very convenient, much cheaper than buying the same day, you come with an electronic ticket, exchange it for a regular one in the machine and go through - quickly and comfortably. In general, we want to return to the Emirates again - to go to the Ferrari park, and go to water parks, and spend more active shopping, and lie down on the beach.
