flight Kyiv-Dubai approximately 4 and a half hours.
Control: on the retina there will definitely be a queue separately for those with children. Children do not shine in the eye! I remind you that children are those who have a children's passport or are inscribed in your passport. Those. if your child is under 18, feel free to go to that queue. Separate line for women (if desired).
The Teztur greeter will hand you over to the Toyota driver. about 20 hours drive to the hotel.

Gentlemen attention!! ! I ordered a standard, but the day before departure I received documents for a wild boar, they assured me that the wild boar is the standard here. so this is the standard chalet. The junior suite differs from the usual chalet in that you will have tea/coffee/kettle. The boar, as it has been described many times before me, has a bamboo house, in which there are the same benefits of civilization as in the standard. We were three adults and I understood that we would not fit in an ordinary chalet, based on its dimensions.
So the wild boar is different!! ! If you were put in a shack of 12-15 meters with a total area, ask for a replacement at the reception, they changed us on the very first morning and gave us a big boar, it was possible to dance in it. By the way, the air conditioner didn't work. Small boars - near the pool.
The water in the pools was not heated with us, it was not very comfortable. The water in the bay is 22-24 degrees, but unfortunately, due to the insidious, cold wind, it seems to be much less. For example, I lay without leaving the very shore, and if you do not stick out various parts of the body, then you don’t even want to go out. Gentlemen VERY insidious SUN AND WIND!! ! You will be cool, and by dinner you will suddenly discover with surprise that the parts of the body not smeared with anti-tanning cream look like boiled lobster. Do not forget to take panthenol, it was very useful to me.
Nobody will demand a tip from you, there are no oily eyes and an outstretched hand, as we are used to seeing in the resorts we know. Neither at the reception, nor the porter, nor when cleaning. You don’t even need to thank the driver who brought you from the tour. Well, that is, you realized that tips, if they are not included in the bill, are not a mandatory attribute of completing your communication with the staff.
Linen is changed every day without reminders. They may forget to change or put enough towels. Throwing out an ashtray that is not in the room will be your only concern.
Nutrition:
We took only breakfasts, because as I was told in the thesis, the supplement for 1 dinner per person is about $ 23. For 23 dollars * 3.6 (approximately 3.7) = 83 dirhams, the three of you will go to Alhamra Mall. This amount will already include freshly squeezed juices. Whatever and from whatever.

Breakfast is a poor standard, I won’t be dishonest if I say that the Albatross Egyptian four fed me much better. BUT gentlemen, you will not be hungry. Fried eggs, eggs, cheeses, salads - the richer, the more happy. We took eggs, sandwiches, tea bags from lunch. At lunch, we just had a snack at a table near our room. BOILING WATER will be brought to you by a girl from the bar, cups too. We bought sugar and coffee in the Alhamra supermarket. We already went there for dinner and, as it was written a little higher, you will go for 80-90 dirhams together.
Travel to Alhamra 13 dirhams, back 8 (back - no need to turn).
ALL TAXI WORK ON THE METER.
Currency exchange - second floor to the left. Large selection of different cuisines - second floor, right TO THE END. Downstairs on the ground floor (approximately in the middle) - a burger, like McDonald's, only there is more choice. Supermarket on the ground floor to the left.
Excursions.
To say that I am "wild" delighted with the Teztur guide Irina is simply to say nothing. I was shocked.
We asked to go to the reception desk to talk about changing the room, she STUPIDLY waved us off and SAID that all boars are standard. Fortunately, my son speaks English, the problem was solved by ourselves.
Further, they asked where to eat in Alhamramoll, so she said that there was NO WHERE to eat there. It’s good that the tourists sitting next to us confirm that they went there for dinner the day before. Further and further, the impression was that we have a different Russian language with Irina, each has its own... further, they began to ask about excursions, they began to stuff us with information where, what is cheaper to buy....Good gentlemen, I have to rest I came, not to buy clothes and shove equipment home. The question of buying something revived Irina, but the question of a simple sightseeing tour was either sluggishly ignored or flew off Irina's ears as not particularly necessary information. We took all the excursions from Fadi, an educated, cultured young man who doesn't stuff you with shopping info junk, speaks excellent Russian.

If you don’t want to listen to Irina’s sour whispers, then you can find Fadi by asking to call the receptionist from the reception (it’s free, he will dial it and give you the phone) or Russian girls working with him are sitting to the left of the reception. But let the girls forgive me, it's better to find out everything from him personally, because they are a little stupid (or forgetful). He incidentally and all excursions are cheaper than the thesis. You can also ask him any question about the structure / history / norms of life / social life, etc. on excursions. local population.
We took Dubai, Wildwadi Water Park and the Indian Ocean.
Alcohol: We took two bottles of martini with us, bought in our Auchan (100 UAH). In Dubai Dutifree is cheaper, about 85 UAH. In the store that is at the hotel (I went out before the post, turned left along the sand, went out again onto the asphalt path and went straight ahead, the store had no signs) there was really a very large selection. We bought beer there, quite decent, brandy, rum. But, gentlemen, there are rumors that it is a good quality fake for Europe. Indian. You decide. I've been drinking, no problem. There are also cigarettes.
You can also buy cigarettes at the supermarket.
Last: minibar.
Gentlemen, throw out (lay out) all their stuffing next to the refrigerator, you can buy all this in any mall, in the market, but 5-7 times cheaper. Nuts, sweets for children, chocolates - everything will not be half the price, but much. For example, we laid out everything, the Filipino cleaners simply did not want to take it away (clean up), so during the eviction, they put these chocolates back....Can you imagine the state of the chocolates? Take care of yourself and children.
I still had quite positive emotions, everything worked out, there was nothing that sharply overshadowed my vacation.
Enjoy your holiday, if you have any questions, write, I will answer.
