Зимняя неделя в Дубаи Winter week in Dubai

I rested with my husband, before the trip I always look for information about the country, reviews (thanks to everyone for useful information), so I knew where I was going and what I expected. My expectations were justified. Upon arrival, out of ignorance, we queued up for a passport shopping mall, all of ours stood in a queue, there were a lot of people left in front of us 5 of ours began to be sent for a retinal scan, we went there and there the queues were just huge, they stood there and then again in the queue for passport control, as a result, we were taken to the airport 3 hours, did not get into duty free. So go straight to the retinal scan and then to passport control. We arrived at the hotel quickly. The hotel was settled quickly, solid 3, but the rooms are small, but we knew about it, we only spent the night at the hotel. But a good location to the metro 10 minutes on foot or 10 dirhams of a taxi (from the mall of the emirates, too, 10 on the counter turned out). We took breakfast because we returned late in the evening, the breakfasts were monotonous, but you could always choose, very tasty yogurt and fresh pastries, apples, oranges, fruits, once there were bananas. Of the shortcomings, they already wrote that there is no curtain in the shower room and the water constantly flows. We lived on the 5th floor, the cleaning was carried out late at 3-4 o'clock, the towels were always changed, the bed was changed 1 time. A bus went to the beach, we were there 1 time on the first day, the beach was paid 5dr entrance, sunbeds 15dr. Then we bought a bedding bag in Correfour (a supermarket in the mall of emirates) for 24 dr, which is very convenient. Only the weather let it down, it was cold and even a little rain. We went to Parus by taxi 15 dr. thus creating a cork in the circle. There is a beautiful embankment, a yacht club, a pedestrian zone worth a walk from the station. metro dubai marina to the waterfront. If you plan to travel around the city by metro (as we did), buy a silver card, it turns out to be more profitable, it costs 20dr 14 of which remains for travel, and replenish as needed. Of the malls, it is worth going to the Ibn Battuta Mall, the penultimate metro station, where each hall is made in its own style of Persia, India. . . those countries visited by IBn Battuta, and the prices there are lower and beautiful. Of the excursions were in Abu Dhabi very much, and a desert safari. In general, Dubai left very good impressions, like all the UAE, it is a completely different world, and the country is only 40 years old, I want to return again.
