We took a tour for 10 days BB, a tour for two cost $ 1300 + $ 150 visas + meals in Dibba $ 40-50 per day.
We followed the price of the tour and the temperature, it is most profitable after Ramadan from 1.09 to 20.09, after which it becomes very expensive, the heat is acceptable, it was well tolerated near the ocean...
The difference in the time zone with us is +1, the rate is 3.61-3.71 to $, it’s better to change at the bank at the airport, the rate at the hotel is 10% lower, there’s nowhere to change in Dibba, you can pay in $ everywhere, but it’s more economical in local currency. Weekends Friday and Saturday, lunch break from 13 to 16, in Dibba all shops are closed, banks, even Lu-Lu (on Friday), the metro does not work in Dubai (got on Friday)...
Sunrise at 6, sunset at 7, the sun shines well until 5, you can swim in the pool until 8, it never gets cold, because the temperature at night was +33 and during the day +41, water +30. The ocean is satisfied. There are no snow-white beaches and turquoise water here. Very high humidity, for everyone who has a photo-video I warn you, too much difference in temperature between the room and the street, will leave condensation in the equipment, the first photos are all in fog, a sharp drop can cause a lot of fogging and can leave stains inside.
Since my husband and I have enough 2 meals a day - enough dinner in Dibba (taxi 15 dirhams) in Al Naman (strike on the second syllable, as it turned out, the restaurant is called that and not Ol Nouman) and snacks that were successfully taken out from breakfast (yogurts , buns, butter, fruits + sausage from Ukraine, there is tea, coffee in the room). Dibba herself is very similar to Hurghada, only here you feel much safer, no one grabs you and shouts "hey Natasha, do you remember me? come with me...."
The central part of the village is dotted with shops on the first floors for the local population, tourists are extremely rare, the central park, only for men, at night they play there, communicate, there is only one name from the park, just a lawn with benches... In the Al Naman restaurant there are two small hall, in the evening shared for tourists and the local population, in the afternoon in the hall for tourists, Arabs often eat with families, the so-called family room. There are a lot of cafes nearby, with Indian cuisine, pizzerias, cafeterias, don’t count on luxury - this is compensated by low prices, it’s nice to eat seafood soup for $ 2.5, lamb ribs for $ 10 or a portion of shrimp 15 cm in size for $ 10, fresh for $ 1.5 $, Al Naman has it all. . .
There is no VAT and income tax in this country, so if you want to buy household appliances, telephones, photo and video equipment, you need ships, prices are 20-30% lower than ours, if you go to Dubai, there are whole streets of such good, in the Trade centers (molls) everything is a little more expensive ($100-200).
There are shops not far from the restaurant, 5-10 minutes walk, the largest is Lu-Lu, there is no point in taking a taxi, the minimum fare is $ 3 (10 dirhams). Groceries on the first floor, clothing and appliances on the second. On the ground floor, they took juices, quite good in plastic, shelf life 3 weeks, canned tuna for snacks, cheap nuts, especially pine nuts, the price per kg is $ 34, we have $ 60, delicious puddings, cheap olive oil, for lovers of the unusual there is camel milk, a specific smell, for those who ate camel meat, they will understand me... they don’t have sausages, ham, sausages, they have a lot of frozen semi-finished products that we didn’t need... all non-alcoholic beer. On the second floor, everything from 0 months to adults, lovers of children's things, there is something to do here, made in India, Pakistan... it is advisable to look at the composition, in addition to your favorite cotton, there is a lot of polyester... adult shoes and clothes wish the best, a lot of artificial and little quality things, something is cheaper, but something is just like ours, there are no branded things, so don’t count on it, a lot of fabrics, a whole department, very beautiful, scarves or shawls at an affordable price of $ 4, but a good one to look for. A large department of towels and bedding, I also want to notice a lot of polyester, buy bedding carefully, many sets with 2 sheets - no duvet covers, the price for a lorry is $20, for a double bed $50, this department reminded Yusk a little... The choice of equipment is primitive....there is a department of suitcases, if you didn’t buy it before departure, don’t be upset, it’s cheap and cheerful here, large rag ones for $45, large ones with plastic that bends $60, plastic that doesn’t bend $90. Payment can be made in any currency or by card.
I liked the hotel itself, the rooms are spacious, there are probably flaws everywhere, it’s just important for someone, but for me they didn’t matter, someone was not happy that you couldn’t drink your drinks on the beach in the evening, someone because the food is monotonous, It's not a problem for me. The evenings are calm, the bars periodically have live music, but in order to sit and listen, you need to order something, the prices are a little expensive for me, beer and hookah for $ 10, don’t be fooled by the word “fresh”, they are made from powder. Just like many wrote about fresh for breakfast. . . fresh tends to exfoliate after a couple of minutes, which does not happen with hotel "fresh". Such "fresh" can be bought in Dibba in grocery stores, there is a liquid concentrate, there is a powder in large jars. Breakfasts are classic scrambled eggs, fried bacon, mushrooms, potatoes, eggs, yogurts, breakfast cereals with milk, delicious pancakes with sauces (vanilla and chocolate, fruit), "fresh", tea, coffee, sweets, fruits - fresh pineapples were very pleased, have always been. There were always places in the restaurant, however, as well as sunbeds on the beach and near the pool. The hotel has 500 people, the feeling was for 100-150 people. There weren’t too many little kids, they didn’t bother me at all, they were always near the children’s pool under a large canopy, where everyone who wanted to try out the fountains with a massage effect, powerful water pressure replaced the paid massage of the back, neck, buttocks and stomach. . . For lovers of saunas and baths, everything here is free, but divided into M F, a free jacuzzi and water in the cooler are also pleasing. By the way, if there are problems with water, then you can kind of say at the reception that they didn’t bring water to you today, and they will bring it to you.
For those who want to dance in a nearby hotel there is a disco.
In the evening after sunset (near the right breakwater there is a descent for boats), crabs crawl out, they can be caught, this requires patience, they are very shy, you can drive them near the hotel, they attack funny, defend themselves and run sideways.
Dubai
We went to Dubai 2 times. As for free buses, they are there, but no matter how long you arrive, you can use them only 1 time. It’s worth signing up right away, they say that there are no places, they put you in reserve, be sure to come, the bus is small, but everyone who signed up was taken away (they gave 2 buses and a car). The first time we went on a paid tour $ 100 per person. (Local taxis want 600 dirhams in two directions, if you know what you want to see and where to go, feel free to go four of us for the whole day) The tour included dinner, departure at 2 arrival at 1 am, you arrive in Dubai at 4, just the heat subsides , very comfortable... As for the Burj Khalifa (160 floors), the guide costs $ 50, there is a preliminary reservation on your own, you can pay by credit card through their website then $ 30, if you just come without a ticket, then the ascent to the observation deck will cost $ 100, so you need to take care of this in advance. Singing fountains, a worthwhile spectacle start from 7 o'clock, so you won't see the free bus. The Dubai Mall struck me with its size, aquarium, all the shops are very stylized, there is something to see, the prices are expensive, compared to other Malls, you should go to it just to look, you should not get carried away with shopping there. There is a grocery store, who needs it, pharmacies. If you take a free bus, calculate the time it took us half an hour to get out of the Mall, back faster than 15-20 minutes. Everywhere there are many information centers, brochures in Russian, Russian-speaking staff, touch guides and maps. There are a lot of fast foods on the top floor, a meal for one $ 15.
The second time we went on a free bus, went to the Wild Wadi water park, $ 60, the exchange rate is not profitable, it is better to have local currency. At the entrance, they check bags for food - they take everything away, give it away at the exit, it’s expensive to eat there, water $ 3, Pepsi $ 5, food $ 20 for one. Towels are not provided so bring your own. Boxes for things paid a big $ 10, we were four, we took 1 box. I expected more from the water park, but in principle they were satisfied, a lot of people. We were 4 hours, barely enough time to drive everywhere. There are not many slides, the most terrible kamikaze is a free fall, and the most exciting pipe with funnels, a mattress for four. All paths are watered, so it's not hot on the feet. Separate smoking areas. Very cool slides for children, a whole complex. Taxi from Dubai Mall to Wild Wadi $ 10, the metro went for four the same way, you also need to take a taxi from the metro $ 3.
Dubai has its own rules about modest clothing, do not drink alcohol, smoke only in permitted places, do not chew gum, you can go to jail for insulting. You won't see the police, they walk around in civilian clothes. The local population is a million, 4 million emigrants, they all work as laborers, locals in government services, locals do not work physically. All hotel staff, taxi drivers - they are all immigrants, many Indians, Thais, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis. They are all afraid of the police, so if something goes wrong, you can threaten us, we did not have such situations. All are very friendly.
