I decided to write a review about my first trip to this magical country. . . Emirates - it's just a fairy tale. now I understand why people who once went to the UAE dream of returning there again. . . About the hotel6 since we were in this country for the first time, there is nothing to compare with. We arrived at the hotel at 11 pm, asked for a room on the top floor. we were given a room on the 38th floor, 3801. We went into the room and were "stunned". he is just awesome! Compare with Egypt and Turkey does not make sense! The room is almost 130 sq. m. , living room, dining area, desk, two bathrooms, two bedrooms, two balconies, kitchen.... The kitchen has a fridge, microwave and crockery. In general, on the first day, we even somehow got confused in our room. We went with a friend and two children, 8 years old and 5 years old. so in this room we didn’t really bother with noisy children’s games, because they have their own room with a TV and they mostly played there when we were in the room. We also really liked the breakfasts. We always came out full, and sometimes we didn’t really want to have lunch after a hearty breakfast! ))) There is a swimming pool on the 8th floor, the water there is just great, warmest. . there is also a playground for children, there is free Wi-Fi in the pool. By the way, the restaurant where we had breakfast is also there on the 8th floor. The only negative is that there are practically no shops or cafes near the hotel. Maybe there is, but not within walking distance. But this did not particularly bother us, because we always went to the center. Sea: we went by taxi, 7-10 minutes drive to a free beach near Parus. On the first day we went to a paid beach, it is located further away. But we didn't really like it there. There are a lot of people, closer to the sea, places with sun loungers were already occupied. And since the mf rested with children, it was convenient for us to be located in close proximity to the sea. Therefore, we bought a beach umbrella, and already went to the beach to Sail. The water is just amazing, and what a gorgeous view. . . next to the sail.... Mmmmmmmmm.....We went on two excursions: a survey of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. I really liked it, because for the first time, it was interesting to listen to guides about cities, about the country, about history. During a tour of Dubai, we visited the falcon museum, the UAE History Museum, drove to the gold market, swept along the Creek River, visited the Dubai Mall, got to the fountain show. All in all, the tour was very rich. We also went to Abu Dhabi, visited the Ferrari Park, then visited the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, drove along the waterfront of Abu Dhabi. in general, I also really liked it! I won't talk about shopping! Let me just say: GREAT! I have never visited so many stores in such a short period of time. . . and frankly speaking, after returning home, while shopping centers somehow don’t pull me! )))) Once they took a ride on the subway, it’s cool too. Convenience by the way the location of the hotel is that the metro stop is five steps away from it. But on the subway as it only once swept, mostly by taxi. Being at home, we booked tickets for the Burj Khalifa in advance via the Internet. This is great!! ! Nothing compares to the experience! Very nice view from the 125th floor. The tower is really huge! Summing up my review, I can say that Dubai is a beautiful city! and I'm looking forward to going back there again....
