How much money to take
We are going with my wife in mid-March to Dubai for a week. In palan, visit fountains, a reserve, a shopping center with an aquarium, possibly a water park, the rest of the time just to see the city, sunbathe. In this regard, a few questions:
1.how much money to take with you (shopping if only small souvenirs)?
2.is the san marco hotel suitable for this?
3. Will we be able to visit everything ourselves, or take excursions (who is better)?
4.how is the weather?

I was in San Marco two years ago. City hotel. Not far from Nasser Square and Abrazh Center (you can walk). Took breakfast and lunch. The food was enough, corresponds to its two stars. They were taken to the beaches by bus. We went to pay. I don't know about the weather in March. I myself am flying to the UAE on March 2. It used to be only in November. You can go to the fountains and the shopping center yourself, you can go on an excursion. Two years ago, the prices were for excursions, for example, a jeep safari $ 50. A sightseeing tour of Dubai was $ 30. Now I don’t know what the prices are. We bought souvenirs at Nasser Square, there was a big bazaar, like our Chinese markets. Everything was there. I'm flying to Ras Al Khaimah. Changed the Egyptian tour in connection with their revolution to the Emirates

an excursion to the hotel, Parus, then cost 100 bucks. I really enjoyed the jeep safari tour. San Marco, of course, is not a luxury hotel, but it is quite suitable for a budget holiday. My room was clean and tidy. The mosque was not heard. Rooms without balconies. From the reception you go straight to the street. Near all sorts of shopping streets, in the evening you can eat in eateries, it was quite tasty. Especially cool fries! Everyone! still remember!

San Marco is quite suitable for a budget holiday, there was a Russian-speaking guy at the reception, so everything was clear what and how and where. The staff was decent, just invisible. But everything was always neat. Nobody stole anything. In the Emirates, theft is very strict. You can also go to jail. The beaches are clean. There is no dirt.

The food at the hotel is also quite good. No poisoning, everything is edible. Of course, there is no huge variety, as in some Egyptian hotels. But everything is quality. And there is enough food.

For elementary souvenirs (magnets, small figurines, books, cards, postcards, and there is a large selection of them) - from 100 USD.
If you are only in Dubai, and will not travel to other emirates (60 USD - sightseeing bus, two lines (red and blue) + tickets to museums, visiting the water park 300-400 dirhams per person).
It is better to travel around the city by taxi, it is not very expensive for them (from Dubai Mall to Sail - 20 dirhams). Climb the Burj Khalifa - from 20 to 60 USD), drink coffee in a cafe overlooking the "singing fountains" (tea, coffee - 15-30 dirhams for each position).

Tell me, but still $ 1000 is enough or not for excursions, souvenirs and meals, provided that I take a ticket from a travel agency. Many go to buy rags... Accordingly, considering all these expenses, how much money should you take with you?

I know the weather there in March is normal, go to any site and look at the data. I know that now vouchers can be called within 40-50 thousand. I also know that in summer they generally have heat, the Arabs themselves leave for resorts, where it is more cool and affordable.

Well, then it's probably better to buy in China, you can find it cheaper there. Although the quality is excellent.

there are also different qualities. And there are Chinese ones too. We must look carefully. If you have already bought fur coats somewhere (for example, in Greece or China), it will be easier to navigate in quality. I did not buy fur coats in the Emirates. I just went with the girls who bought for themselves. I went to Greece, to Kastoria for fur coats.

Take dollars. I changed at a bank near the Abrazh Center. Ask at the reception where else you can change. Do not change at the hotel, it is more expensive there. In the bank near the Abrazh Center, we even exchanged rubles (!!!) for dollars. And so you can take the euro, no difference, there are no problems with the exchange.

We also visited the free beach once. The beach is like a beach. Only near the road, there are no umbrellas and palm trees to hide from the sun. And there were many swarthy nations.

I wonder if all these (Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain) unrest will reach the UAE. I understand the countries are all different, but 70% of the population in the UAE are foreign wage workers from Pakistan, India, etc.?

Foreign hired workers (Pakistani, Indians, Filipinos, etc.) in the UAE do not have UAE citizenship, and therefore do not have any rights. It is simply unthinkable for me that guest workers would start a rebellion in the Emirates. And there is no one else to strike. All other sheikhs.

Valerik 23, don’t worry so many Russians work in hotels, though they are already different from us, more sociable, they will tell you everything. Modern Dubai is $ 25 and you can buy a high-quality and Greek fur coat from the girls in hotels, they didn’t let us down, they bought a gorgeous beauty (mink coat) Thanks Nargis for the help.
