нормальный отель normal hotel

I’m talking about a trip to this beautiful country, I want people to know how great it is there and not look for information all over the net (as I did)))). We flew from Odessa, flew for about 4 hours, fed and poured wine on the way. The airport in Dubai is just huge, but everything is logical, there are signs, the time is an hour ahead (Kiev), you stand in line for a retinal scan (the procedure is quick, the device is sent to the eye and that's it), then you get into a dutik - you buy what you need ( took beer and rum) and out. I’m writing about alcohol right away - it’s not there in stores, it seems only in beach hotels, but we had an economy vacation and it wasn’t in our 2 *. Therefore, only with yourself. You can drink in your hotel room. We made screwdrivers in a bottle of cola (Pepsi) and walked along the beach and around the city. There were no problems, since we did not advertise our addictions and did not fall across the streets))))). about smoking - smoking only on the street and preferably near the trash cans, they have fines for garbage, you can’t smoke indoors, in the evening we just chose restaurants with tables on the street, you can smoke there. I describe these moments in such detail, since I myself was very worried about how it would all be, having read that everything is forbidden for them, nothing like that, you can, just be careful)))). So, your host meets you on the street, puts you in the car and sends you to the hotel. We lived in San Marco 2 *, for this category of hotel I am very pleased with the service, they fed breakfast and lunch (buffet) food a lot and quite tasty. They speak Russian at the reception, the Aladdin agency works in the hotel lobby - excursions are cheaper than those of the host, the hotel itself is also Russian-speaking. It was very convenient, because to my shame with English. everything is very bad)))) Room with air conditioning, refrigerator, TV set. Of course, it was not the best for us without a balcony and the windows overlooked a nook, where half of the hotel air conditioners are, plus a hotel near the airport, planes are yelling, but it was uncomfortable only the first night, then they got used to it. And when I went to swear, without question they said the number would be changed, the next day or the next day (as soon as I got free), but we had already decomposed and we were too lazy to move))))). The only thing is, if you are not going to use paid drinks in the refrigerator (that is, all), tell me, let them take it right away, they still downloaded 3 days from us for water that we didn’t drink, but since you leave your passports at the hotel before departure, time for there was no debriefing, they paid and took their passports. They took free buses every day to the beach. Free jumeirah - you lie down, and all the skyscrapers are behind you, and paid Al Mamzar (entrance 5 d) (1 d - 2.2 UAH, or $ 1 - 3.66 d). On al mamzar you go through a beautiful park. And there and there is very cool. Sunbeds cost 15 d, an umbrella 10 d. The bus also takes you back, or you can take a taxi yourself, with which there are no problems at all. Landing costs 3d, then for each km 0.5d. We took a business card with the location of our hotel at the reception and just gave it to taxi drivers, since not everyone knew where our hotel was. By location, it is a 15-minute walk to the union metro station (by taxi 10 d). The metro is an excellent solution to transport problems - there are only 2 branches, and we used only the red one, all the sights are located on it. It costs depending on the distance, you say where you need to - they say how much, it’s cheaper to take it back and forth (for 2 days), but this is not always convenient. You can take a golden car - this is the first car, it’s cool to see everything from it)))), the metro without a driver. A golden wagon costs 2p more than a regular wagon. For example, we traveled from the union to the burj-khalifa (the tallest building in the world), there is also a Dubai Mall nearby (a shopping center with an aquarium, a terrarium, an underwater tunnel). cost - 14 d for two back and forth in the usual, in gold it cost us 14 only there. About excursions. We went to a panoramic view of Dubai ($ 25 per person) - I advise you, because you can see the whole city at a gallop across Europe, they will take you to a palm island, a dubai mall, a ski pier, a museum, in short you will have an idea about the city, and decide for yourself where you need to go again. As for me, this is the Dubai Mall - there are singing fountains - this is something, I was delighted, they work from 18.00 to 22.00, every 30 minutes, the show is 5 minutes. I still can’t get over it so much, there is an aquarium, a waterfall, a tunnel with sharks (in the pier itself). Aquarium + terrarium + tunnel – 50 days per person. And yet, if you want to go up to the Burj Khalifa observation deck, I advise you to buy tickets there at the observation deck, they are sold if you stand facing the main entrance to the Dubai Mall - the leftmost entrance, there will be signs - top ticket burg halifa, something like this) )) and moreover!!! ! if you buy today and the next day - 400 d, if the day after tomorrow - 100, as for me, the difference is tangible and we saved)))), since time allowed. An unforgettable sight from the height of 124 floors, the landscape around is breathtaking. We also went to the Indian Ocean (the emirate of Fujairah), we also liked it, you pass 4 emirates (the trip is about 2.5 hours) and you can see how the benefits of civilization have not yet reached the rest)))), look at the country, they take you to the hotel, they feed you, and you sunbathe on the beach, there is a coral reef, but I didn’t swim to it, because you can’t climb it, it became too lazy))), on the way we stopped at the carpet market, there is also a fruit market. The cost is $55 per person. We did not attend more excursions - there was not enough time. We went to the fish market ourselves, there is also a spice market and a gold market nearby, we bought king prawns, we fried them near the market for 8 days. 1 kg cost $ 13, they didn’t want to give in))))), they also sold lobster for 45 d, but somehow we didn’t dare, the shrimp are super fresh, very tasty, the guy also advised us to fresh and fish restaurant, located near Shelton hotels, I won’t say more precisely (((((, so you choose a fish for yourself and the same shrimp, and they immediately fry them for you - very tasty, and the cost is also good. We are for a huge fish - a clamp or something - and a portion of just huge shrimp paid about 400 UAH (185 d), and give 2 more salads, cakes, water. They didn’t eat everything, they took it with them)))). they had a day off and everything was closed, so I was left without riches)))). Smoked a hookah - also nothing, but I'm not a fan. Here I seem to have described the main points, I hope it helped someone)))). In general, I am very pleased with the trip, they brought a lot of positive impressions, the country is beautiful, and it is very pleasant that at least some kind of government takes care of its people. )))
