First, a few important points to pay attention to when visiting Dubai.
First, when crossing the border, for a visa, which can be simply printed on a computer, you should take a picture of the retina of the eye and get a print on this paper, i. e. At first, you do not go to passport control, but to the employees who put stamps, and only then, to control.
Secondly, at the Al Qasar hotel they will charge you a deposit amount, approximately 440 dinars per day, I don’t know if it depends on the class of the room or not, it’s better to give a deposit not in cash, because. the balance will be returned only in local currency, and by card. The balance is returned in a month, to your card. However, there is where to spend this amount here. There are many restaurants, as they say in the advertising booklet 40, of course you can walk and look. Where to go on my own - my eyes run wide, I will describe those in which I was, in order to be able to navigate.
Thirdly, the electrical sockets are not Russian, there was one adapter in our room, it was enough for me, if someone needs it, they will most likely give it at the reception or take it with you.
Fourthly, I read a negative review about the "quality" of the villas, many probably saw this review, that the repair was bad, the doors were peeled, etc. The doors were not peeled off! Joke. In fact, the room in the villa is stylized, like the rest of the hotel, under the Arab housing. Everything is very authentic, at the same time, comfortable, a huge bathroom, from minor remarks, in the bathroom itself there is a tap in the middle, but this is so, by the way. The room is excellent, without the "rococo-baroque", in which our tourists see "luxury". Constant compliments, fruits, cleaning in the morning and evening. No complaints! Okay.
The beach, really white sand, long coastline, a paradise for families with children - I don’t want to splash around. Diving, etc. - no. There are all sorts of “shells” for marine, almost wrote, naval sports holidays, but laziness reigns on the beach. And here's why: on the shore, three types of sunbeds: a tent, canvas umbrellas (first line), palm umbrellas - further. Come to the beach to the employee, he covers you with a bed with mattresses and a pillow with a towel, and gives you a towel for the body. Although, as elsewhere, vacationers try to take places quickly in the morning, the tents are already occupied at 8:00 by % 70.
There are really a lot of lifeguards on the beach, and on towers, and on boats, and on kayaks, almost all of them are Indonesians. In the morning they are trained - they swim and run along the coast.
On the beach (twice a day≈ ) they treat you with watermelon and ice cream, wear cucumbers over your eyes and cool towels (free of charge), ordering everything else, for example, water (25 derhams) - for a fee.
The atmosphere is extremely relaxing - that's why most people lie lazily, when the beach is full - they don't even swim, although I emphasize once again that the beach is calm, clean, safe and tidy, and the view from the shore is 5 plus. In short, those who just want to swim - also "swim - I don't want to. " But the relaxation is amazing.
Restaurants: Al Hambra - a pleasant Spanish restaurant, a compliment - a large bread - potato tortilla with pieces of meat and sauce. Tasty. For two, ≈.500, at the next table sat a lot of Englishmen, they completely managed with compliments and wine. I must say right away that the prices for wines are not weak. Medoc (France) - 550 dinars (≈ $152), Chardonnay Torres Spain 340dinars (≈ $152), there are California and New Zealand wines from 100dinars, glasses from 30.
Wharf An English restaurant. An interesting place with live music: the guitarist sang popular melodies in the style of ballads. Regarding dishes and drinks: a large wine list, a standard beer set; classic cocktails. Food - English cuisine restaurant, I almost wrote high, we took from the unusual: duck liver parfait (! ) with arugula and cranberries, if without a "sweet" component - not bad, Wharf's specialty - fish "thin dog" in batter + excellent baked potatoes, called "chips" and excellent mashed peas - I assure you - no laughing - mashed peas, like potatoes, is a complex topic. So the puree was excellent. Dessert is not bad.
Noodle haus Chinese restaurant A small and lively Chinese restaurant serving (! ) Tsingtao beer. The people are pulled up to 20:00 and tourists, and local Europeans, and Arabs. Until 20:00 it looks like a peaceful children's eatery. As for food. - Chinese or Chinese-like food is not bad, but Peking duck, I will say with knowledge of the matter, is magnificent, you can take a quarter or half of a duck. Delicious dessert, chocolate cake with pistachio ice cream, mango mousse. You can only eat dessert and even that will be fine.
Al bashar The restaurant is located by the pool, great view of the hotel. By the way, it's nice to have breakfast there. You can also have breakfast in the main building, in a huge hall. In "Al Bahar" buffet, there are Japanese, European and Arabic cuisine. I don't think it makes sense to eat non-Arab food here. Couscous (an amateur), but a lot of lamb dishes and excellent shawarma. Yes, a good wine list. But most importantly, here you can easily and without pretentiousness get acquainted with adapted Arabic cuisine.
Al muna hotel Al Salam, next to the Wharf. This restaurant has an excellent buffet, where, along with European, Japanese and Thai cuisine, you can get acquainted in detail with Arabic cuisine, but Arabs who do not live in Arabia. Great great couscous, a lot of vegetable dishes (Lebanon, Syria), simpler meat than in Al bashar, yes, and great desserts. The price of the buffet is 165 AED per person, without drinks.
Perchic The most beautifully located restaurant in a separate complex: on a high pier extending into the sea. Cuisine is recognized as the best in Dubai in 2010. Usually they write that this is a fish institution, in fact, more precisely, a fish molecular one. The prices are corresponding. According to my scale - good, in terms of quality and taste, the surroundings and interiors - undoubtedly five. About the dishes, I would recommend it myself: fish soups, of course, Halibut, flounder (turbo), excellent desserts. Yes, the restaurant has good compliments. In general: the atmosphere, interior and dishes are at their best, if you want to part with 10.000 rubles, and "join" - welcome!
Segreto Italian. Restaurant 2011 I can’t say anything special: in my opinion, there are no special masterpieces in food. But the place is nice.
And one more thing that opposes hearty food - Spa. Must go at least once: on a relaxing holiday - excellent massages. There are booklets in Russian. Prices from 450 to 690 dirhams, depending on the time of the massage (60 and 90 minutes).
