The UAE is a country of everything-everything-everything-the very-most!! ! A lot of vivid impressions and unforgettable views. Of course, lovers of pastoral landscapes will have nothing to do here (although it’s worth a look for a change), and fans of megacities will enjoy stunning modern architecture from the best architects (I just don’t want to call them differently) from all over the planet.
And the hotel. . . The hotel leaves much to be desired. The fact that it requires immediate repair is an indisputable fact. Although you wonder: how could they "kill" him so much in just 6 years ! ? In the bungalow, there is a persistent smell of dampness, old, old furniture, peeling walls on the terraces. For a surcharge of $400, we were offered rooms in skyscrapers (by the way, in Ukraine, the same surcharge was $1.000! ). The views from the windows are simply amazing: the artificial islands of the Palm Jumeirah - right at your feet, on the right - known to everyone and everyone "Sail", in the evenings beckons with its lights "Atlantis".
The location of the hotel is the main plus: 10 minutes - to the metro station, 5 minutes - to the promenade (embankment), private beach. But for all this you get in addition: smoky rooms with mold in the bathrooms (I looked at seven rooms in two buildings), muddy windows, insipid breakfast in a shabby restaurant (and even with a queue at the entrance), not quite well-groomed territory .

I'm not one of those tourists who on vacation look for dust in hard-to-reach places, but in "Khabtoor" everything was somehow too untidy, especially considering the cost of the trip.
Despite the fact that the hotel did not impress, the country impressed: the mosque in Abu Dhabi, and "Ferrari World", and water parks, and malls, and Burj Khalifa, and... , and... , and... All -Everything-Everything!! ! This is a country that you need to see with your own eyes, because you can talk about it endlessly!! !
