Good afternoon. My wife and I were in the UAE for the first time (before that, only Egypt), I can say right away that Egypt, in terms of civilization and culture, is somewhere beyond Honduras compared to the UAE. Here all are polite, cultured and very tactful people (including guest workers), and there are 4.2 million of them there, and the local population is only 800 thousand. We arrived in the evening at 24.00, met (flying from Royal Park) with a sign , they gave my wife a rose and took us to the car, and only the two of us, no buses, etc. , were driven in a Toyota Venza. We got there very quickly, since their roads are excellent - to say nothing, everything is illuminated, there is not even a hint of holes, everything is fenced off so that camels and wild donkeys do not run out onto the road, we drove 120 km. for 45 minutes, the average speed of movement ranging from 130 to...... not limited. The next day, our guide called us, but after reading the reviews, we first met the guide Fadi, and it turned out not in vain, firstly, he speaks excellent Russian, English, Hungarian, Arabic, and secondly, his excursions are much more interesting and meaningful, in thirdly, his tours are much cheaper than other guides. And our excursions began: 1) Dubai - we drove his Toyota minivan, everything is super, you must see it; 2) Abu Dhabi - even more beautiful (especially the Ibn Zayed Mosque is something, these chandeliers are 12 million dollars each, a carpet that weighs tens of tons, which were sewn by 2000 women, 25 months, all made of white marble)); 3) The Indian Ocean is super, we had this excursion on the penultimate day before leaving and after the ocean We didn’t swim in our bay (to be honest, the beach is not very good in the water), in the ocean for three hours my wife and I were chasing huge turtles, the water is so pleasant and clean that we don’t want to go out at all. But all the stories are nothing - THIS SHOULD BE SEEN. Do not hesitate and come to this hotel. We drove around the bay on a jet ski - 400 UAH. half an hour (in the Crimea, for comparison, 3 minutes 150 UAH), and the devices here are super-fast. The food is normal - we only had breakfast, for lunch We ate fruit, and at 19.00 we went by taxi to Al-Hamra Mall ($ 5) we ate just super, here is one of the dishes, the most tender duck fillet baked with vegetables, with rice , spices and cola will cost you 150 UAH. - but the portions are just huge (see attached photo), and a taxi back to the hotel (2 dollars. ) But the most important thing is of course the FADI guide, he is just super, it feels like he was born as a guide, without him, of course, I think the reviews would not be the same, a couple from Mariupol came to the Indian Ocean with us with another guide, so they said that they didn’t like anything , but after our story about our excursions, they regretted that they had not read the reviews. By the way, He takes you to those places where you can’t go (for example, all excursions include photos only near the Atlantis hotel, and We were in the middle, in general, where We just didn’t go with FADI).
