I asked this question on the forum and got a lot of replies:
(Israel visit stamp may serve as a visa denial.
In 2009 rested in Egypt and went on an excursion to Israel, where they put an entry and exit stamp on the border. Can there be problems when entering the UAE because of the stamp in the passport. )
I will say right away that there were no issues with a visa.
rest in San Marco Hotel 2* pleased me. The hotel is Russian-speaking, the price includes breakfast and lunch (buffet). The room is clean, the air conditioner works, bedding, towels, soap and shampoo in the shower are changed every day. There is a hair dryer and a TV in the room (3 programs in Russian, and they also have three plug sockets (American type, but there is an adapter in the room).

Every two days they drove to different beaches (free of charge), the beach was most liked free, the cleanliness is perfect, the sand is snow-white, along the beach there is a treadmill with a rubber coating. They walked around the city even at 10 pm, but there is no fear
Shops, including small shops are open until late.
Communication with sellers in shops (knowledge of English 0) on the fingers and with the help of a calculator (they write the price on the calculator, I write mine to them, it’s customary to bargain here, everything works out.
Yes, we talked with tourists who rested in 4 * hotels, the only plus is a huge hall, but the hotels are not "Russian-speaking".
All hotels, as well as San Marco, are located in the city, they are also taken to the beach by a bus on schedule. All buildings are built very tightly to each other, so I did not notice much difference between the hotels.
Briefly about the country. I am in shock, I am ashamed of Russia. The country in which water is obtained by desalination (this is not cheap) is all in flowers and trees, water is supplied under every bush, tree, flower, there are even artificial waterfalls. It all grows on the sand.
At night, the whole city glows and shines, all the highways are perfectly lit.
P. S. in January 2011 the country will celebrate its 40th anniversary, I advise you to visit this country.
that's all in a nutshell.
Igor, Belgorod, RUSSIA
