Первый раз в ОАЭ First time in the UAE

I want to leave my review, although many usually write the same thing, suddenly someone will find my review useful. We rested in April 2012. A family of three. We flew from Kyiv, the flight lasted 4 hours and 50 minutes. We flew with Fly Dubai, we were fed normally on the plane, but for a separate payment (approximately $ 60 for a family in both directions to have a bite to eat) We flew in, went through the retina and other formalities for half an hour, waited 20 minutes for the rest of the tourists, and went to Ras al Haim. We were at the hotel about an hour later, we arrived late in the evening, settled quickly, our room was a standard chalet, a spacious normal room (no frills). Although at first there was only one double bed (and we were with a child of 9 years old), and the tour was taken with extra. bed, in general, on the trail. day we won another bed (for free) thanks to our tour. agent and guide Olga, because it was nevertheless provided for, but not indicated in the voucher for the settlement (Check the voucher for the settlement Natalie Tours often do not print the word EXB CHD) Cleaned normally, changed towels regularly, and soap accessories. The mini-bar is full, everything is absolutely free (EVEN WATER)!! ! (minus - very audible neighbors).
The territory is very large, green, well-groomed, beautiful. Great place for families with children! The beach is large, clean enough, there were enough sunbeds for everyone both by the pool and on the beach. The bay - well, so-so, honestly, we are not happy, constant tides, ebbs, algae.
About the food, we only took breakfast, the breakfasts are very good (quite a variety, as for breakfast) I don't think that at home someone serves their own more for breakfast! You won't leave hungry, there is plenty to choose from. For lunch we went to Al Hamra Mall, as everyone writes by taxi there 13 dihr, back 8 dihr. On the second floor there is a cafe-pizzeria, there from 12-00 to 15-00, lunches are 35 AED per person, a child is 20 AED, a buffet, a wide variety of dishes, there is first and second course, vegetables with fruits and dessert. Take as much as you can fit. Very tasty freshly squeezed juices there (for additional payment). We really enjoyed having lunch there.

For dinner, we took various fruits, juices (they even have insanely delicious juices in bottles) ready-made food (there are salads, meat, hamburgers) on the ground floor in the supermarket. Here they took water and a half liters of water 1.5 dichr. ; In the hotel, in the min-bar, there is a half-liter bottle of 5 dr. (I. e. , everything in the min-bar is VERY expensive)
Excursions, we took Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In Dubai, we took from Natalie Tours, with a rise to the Burj Khalifa, and dinner on the ship. I really liked everything, but everything happened very quickly (at a gallop across Europe))), we didn’t have time to see a lot.
We went to Abu Dhabi with Fadi, we also liked it very much, he told everything interestingly, showed me, this country was very impressed in general.
We left early in the morning, we were offered a dry breakfast, and indeed very dry muffins and tea)))
In general, our conclusion, as a beach holiday, is NOT super, and a little expensive !! ! The hotel is not bad for this money, we knew where we were going, and we did not expect golden mansions! And so, to see all this beauty and luxury, it really deserves attention, Well, probably, if we are in the UAE next time, then most likely we will choose a vacation in Dubai!
