Ах эти сказачные Дубаи ! Ah, fabulous Dubai!

I want to start the story from the airport. The airport is very big. And they don’t talk about this in the passion fruit travel agency and don’t suggest how to quickly go through all the registrations, in this travel agency there is little to say! (We arrived at 18.30 and left the airport at 21.40) and we only stood in line once for registration. Another nuance, for those who are the first time, you first need to send (scan ice) (retinal scan), and then passport control, and then baggage control, and then a travel agent will meet you. Regarding the number, I argued with the Ukrainian travel agent Passion Fruit for a long time, no reactions. It is difficult for them to say that construction sites are everywhere and the category of the room does not depend on whether the construction site is visible or not, the question is for a friend, what else will you see besides the construction site ! ! But believe me, the view from the window will in any case be good and interesting at the Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort 5 * hotel, no matter which side the building is on. I’ll tell you a little about the excursions, so we took only two excursions - a trip to the Indian Ocean and the city of Abu Dhabi with a visit to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. I will say this about the trip to the Indian Ocean, the trip is tedious and not interesting, and if the guide is not very good, then you can console yourself only by looking out of the bus window into the outback of the Arab Emirates. We got a guide that was not very good, when asked what we were passing, his answer was constantly such a “building”, in general, if you want to spend the whole day in the heat and in the ocean on a boat that is pumping, then this is your trip. The second excursion is very different, and the guide, surprisingly, not only talked a lot and interestingly about the places where we were, he also talked with everyone and told about the indigenous population of the Arab Emirates, about their economy, about Muslim girls and boys, about their traditions, in general, the tour went unnoticed, enthusiastically and very pleasantly, and many thanks to the guide Vladimir. And I also want to say about the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, you just need to visit here ! ! She is very beautiful, in my understanding, even perfect, breathtaking.
Dubai itself is very beautiful, and the Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort 5 * hotel also adorns the coastline of the Fujairah region. I'm not a travel agent, I'm just a demanding tourist. I can not compare this hotel with other hotels in the United Arab Emirates, as it was the first time, but I can say with confidence that the hotel meets its class and monitors its reputation. Indeed, this hotel has Russian-speaking staff. There is a deposit service program, but on request, although the deposit program, according to my observations, is more economical because it often excludes tips. More about the restaurants and bars on site, all the restaurants are very beautiful, I personally really liked the seafood restaurant. Hotel restaurants are not noticeably more expensive than, for example, restaurants in malls (I'm not talking about fast food). I won't talk about the rooms, but I'll post pictures. In conclusion, I’ll say that we thought for a long time where to go, and chose the United Arab Emirates, and we don’t regret it, despite all the requirements for tourists. Everyone chooses where he likes best, but we didn’t have time to visit as many places as possible, at least in Dubai. And we will return again : ), and to this hotel, because we liked it, and to the United Arab Emirates, since it is a very beautiful and attractive country.
