I also remembered what could be useful for vacationers in this hotel.
Internet:
There is no wifi in this hotel. I had high hopes for communication in Skype (Skype is in the smartphone), but unfortunately they did not come true. There are three computers at the reception, you can use the Internet for free, but again they do not have Skype. A power cord was brought into the room, so you can also use the Internet in the room, but most likely for a fee. So take a laptop for skype.
A television:
The TV in the room is good, but nothing to watch. In addition to local channels, there are a couple of English-language news channels and one French-language news channel. There are no music channels - probably local censorship does not allow, because. girls' clothes are often, to put it mildly, short. So, you can forget about the TV for the rest.
Currency exchange:
Leave the hotel, turn left and after 150 meters on the other side of the road there is a bank branch.
The shops:
Exit the hotel, turn left and after 40 meters on this side of the road there is a grocery market with a good selection and prices. There is also a similar market on the other side of the road behind the bank branch.
Buying souvenirs:
Relatively close to the hotel there is the Fort Museum (by taxi there is a minimum salary of -10 AED), which I recommend visiting, and a little behind it there is a market with souvenirs and a pier for small motor boats that cost 1 AED. transport people to the other side of the bay. Souvenirs can be bought both near the pier and in shops on the other side of the bay. I didn’t really compare prices, but we found magnets on the other side of the bay at half the price than on this side on the pier.
Shopping:
We did not do shopping, the purpose of the trip was exclusively educational - recreational. On the other side of the bay there is a gold market, fur coats are offered at every turn. A bunch of boutiques where prices are lower than in boutiques in malls. Watch stores with original watches and good fakes are nearby (most likely they have one owner). Shopping maniacs have a place to roam.
Alcohol:
There are no liquor stores. In the nearby food market, non-alcoholic beer Bavaria is available. So those who want to drink need to stock up in advance at Duty Free at Dubai Airport. Whiskey Grants, Teacher's - $ 18 a liter. They say that alcohol is expensive in large hotels, but we didn’t want to go there.
Well, I'll add some photos.
