Booked a hotel online. For 7 days in a double room with sea view and breakfast I gave 2174 dirhams: 1260 + 7x2x45 + 15% local taxes.
A good simple hotel on the beach, located in the Al Khan area of the Emirate of Sharjah. The wait staff are mostly Indians, all speak English. The 3-storey building of the hotel has the shape of the letter "P", in the courtyard there is a large swimming pool (about 20 by 10 m, depth - from 0.9 to 3 m), the water is not heated, there is also a small paddling pool with warm water. The beach is small, but very close (from the door of the room to the sea - 1 min. ). In the basement of the hotel there is a rocking chair and a small sauna - all free of charge, until 13:30 the hall is open for women, from 13:30 to 18:00 - for men. Towels for the hall / pool / beach are given free of charge, beach-boys in red jackets are on duty at the pool / beach, they bring sunbeds and mattresses upon request, and also act as lifeguards. The beach is sandy, the sea is clean, at low tide, when the water recedes from the shore by about 50-60 m, it is very beautiful, especially at sunset.
If you stand facing the sea, to the right of the Beach Hotel beach, behind the fence, there is a wild beach about 300 m wide, to the left - the beaches of the Grand Beach Hotel, Sharjah Carlton Hotel.
The beach has a massage room (1 session of Thai massage - $30) and rental of jet skis ($30 for 20 min. )
The room was small, but not cramped, with a balcony, air conditioning, LCD TV with satellite TV (incl. 3 Russian channels) and USB input, refrigerator, telephone, hair dryer, bathroom, bidet. For additional The fee in the room can be accessed via Wi-Fi, and you can also access the Internet from the computer at the reception for 10 dirhams per hour.
Breakfast - buffet, normal food, but no frills, the menu practically did not change: oatmeal, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages, cold cuts, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, 4 types of cheese, 2 types of yogurt, butter, jams, buns, toast, brown rice, fried potatoes, grilled tomatoes, various cereals, milk, tea, coffee, some kind of juice (didn't try), water. Dessert - dates, watermelon. Breakfast cost 45 dirhams per person.
, they also have simpler breakfasts: continental and English - 30 and 40 dirhams, if I'm not mistaken.
The local currency is the dirham (AED), the exchange rate against the dollar is 3.65-3.66 AED for 1 USD (this is the normal rate of city exchangers). Dollars can be changed at the airport upon arrival (rate - 3.60), at the reception in the hotel (rate - 3.55). It turns out that 1 dirham is about 8.5 rubles.
Dinner at the hotel costs 75 dirhams. You can order from the menu, there are several good options to choose from: hot + salad for 40 dirhams, tea costs 12 dirhams. You can have lunch in a cafe by the pool - there is the same menu + there are cheaper dishes - you can keep within 40 dirhams per person. Opposite the hotel (a little to the left) there is a KAZAN restaurant with a Russian menu, not very cheap again, but they cook tastier than in the hotel (I recommend pasta with seafood) dinner will cost about 40-50 AED per person.
Free shuttle buses run from the hotel to downtown Sharjah and Deira City Center Dubai.
The Deira shopping center is something like the Mega shopping center in Moscow, there is also a Carrefour store - a French chain of hypermarkets a la Auchan. It is convenient to buy products there. The last flight from Deira shopping center to the hotel leaves at 21.00. The Dubai Metro station is located next to the shopping center.
It is convenient to travel around Dubai and Sharjah by taxi, all taxis are metered. The minimum cost of the trip is 10 dirhams. A taxi from Dubai Airport to the Beach Hotel (or vice versa) will cost about 70 dirhams. The same will cost a taxi from the hotel to the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa (the largest shopping complex in Dubai and the highest skyscraper, they are located nearby, by the way, the skyscraper is visible even from the hotel's beach). Taxi drivers charge an additional 20 dirhams for entering or passing through the emirate of Sharjah, i. e. , for example, 50 dirhams will run up the meter from the airport to the hotel, and pay another 20 for entering Sharjah, total - 70.
In Dubai, I recommend buying a sightseeing tour on a double-decker bus.
The ticket costs AED 220, valid for 24 hours, includes a tour of two routes (with an audio guide in Russian), free admission to 2 museums, a boat cruise on the Dubai Creek, 1 free crossing of the bay, a walking tour of one of the markets, and a number of discounts in Dubai restaurants and shops. Tickets are sold at the entrance to the Deira City Center, where the bus from the hotel will bring you. It is very convenient that you can get off at any stop of this bus, and then get on the next one (buses run at intervals of 20 minutes from 9 a. m. to 7 p. m. , there are also night sightseeing tours)
Summary
A good economical option for a holiday by the sea. If you book a hotel on your own, I recommend taking a room with a sea view (on the 2/3 floor) and breakfast. More than 20 thousand rubles. 7 days in DBL BB is not worth paying.
Have a good rest!
