My wife and I were in the UAE at the SEASHELL INN HOTEL (BUR DUBAI) 3 * from 16.12. 2011 to 23.12. 2011.
A little about excursions
1) Safari in the desert. Cool excursion, but not suitable for those who are motion sick in transport. Take a jacket or cape with you as it will be cool in the desert in the evening.
2) A trip to the Indian Ocean through OMAN on a yacht. The trip to the yacht is no way at all. We drove around Oman for 10 minutes out of 2 hours. Small fishing village. Then the whole excursion on the yacht. Do not count on a snow-white beauty 40 meters long. Fishing on the yacht will be about 40 minutes with me, the tourists really caught fish, but three out of ten people caught a small one. Fishing on the donk is therefore not very interesting. In general excursion for those who just want to relax. There won't be many bright impressions.
3) Water park in the Atlantis hotel. It's a really cool place. Worthy to visit.
4) Visit on your own.
Burj Khalifa (ticket purchased a day or two before climbing the tower will cost less, if it is the same day it will be 4 times more expensive)
Fish market . It works from 16:00. three meter sharks and a bunch of small ones are impressive.
And the prices are very loyal, but bargain. We bought a three-kilogram shark for 50 dirhams and he asked for 100. But this does not work with lobsters and lobsters, they are practically not inferior. You can cook them there in the market, not bad enough. Cooked in a building near the market in the window 10 dirhams per kilogram. If you are offered by a seller or another person in the market to cook your catch. This means that he himself runs to this window or

A little about the hotel.
1) If you see in the description of the hotel that there is a swimming pool, you should know that this is not true. There is no pool in the hotel.
When asked the hotel guide about the presence of a swimming pool in the hotel, she evasively leaves him, saying that it was dry.
2) There is no safe in a standard room, but this is not a problem because there are free safe boxes at the reception. Access to them at any time.
3) The elevator works well. Didn't have to wait long.
4) The hotel is clean, well-groomed, but it is clear that it is not young.
5) Everything in the rooms is old, but this does not mean that it is broken or rotten. As in a well-maintained Soviet hotel. Cleaned every day and very carefully. There is one Russian channel ORT.
6) Mostly Indians live in the hotel. Percent 70% about 10% Russian. They say the Indians are dirty and yell a lot and loudly. I did not notice this because I saw them only at breakfast. By the way, the breakfast is quite decent, you won't go hungry.
7) a minibus or two takes you to the beach every morning, depending on the number of people. And back at lunchtime.
8) To the nearest metro station (AL Fahidi green line) 10-15 minutes on foot, whoever walks.
Exit the hotel, turn right and walk until you see an unusual semicircular building. This will be the subway. This is an important point if you like to wander around the city but don't have much money for a taxi. There are troika hotels right next to the metro. If you plan to move around a lot, it is better to immediately take a permanent magnetic card for everyone and put 70 dirhams on it for each. She can also pay on buses. In the UAE, metro fares are based on distance.
9) Nearby there are several small shops like Pyaterochka, and a more serious hypermarket called CARREFOUR is a 15-minute walk away. It is straight from the hotel 300-400 meters near the bus station or go around the hotel and turn left and you will see two large gray containers in the distance. Reach them and turn right after 200-300 meters there will be this hypermarket.
