In October last year, we managed to find time for a long-awaited vacation. On the advice of friends, I chose a warm place called the United Arab Emirates. The travel agency recommended the Marhaba Resort, which is located in Sharjah. I heard good reviews about this hotel, I decided to check it out myself!
The hotel is small but very cozy with a beautiful green area. All employees are Russian-speaking and very kind. I lived in a standard room, which had everything you need. Every day clean towels, soap, shampoo.
The food in the restaurant is very good! There was no such thing that I ate, but I still want to eat. Every day new dishes from different cuisines of the world (Russian, European, Caucasian, etc. ) And it's great that the chef accepts wishes from vacationers, what to cook for tomorrow. I have not seen this in other hotels!

On the territory there is a swimming pool, billiards, table hockey, tennis court... there is something to do in the evening. And those who prefer noisy evenings can rent a car (or take a taxi) and go to Dubai for shopping or to a club. Plus, it's a 15 minute drive. The hotel does not have its own beach, but I went to the beach for free in a nearby hotel. Where I was provided with a towel and a sunbed for free, and it was only 3 minutes to walk to it. It didn't cause me any particular inconvenience.
I especially want to note the staff and service at the hotel. Such a professional and kind approach to every vacationer that you don’t feel discomfort at all from being in an unfamiliar country and really don’t know anything. I always knew that Marhaba employees would definitely help me and prompt me in any matter. I really enjoyed my stay in the Emirates. Sea, sun, beach… what more do you need!
In general, I rested and looked at the Emirates for little money, lived in a good hotel and got a lot of impressions, although the Emirates is one of the richest countries in the world and holidays there are not cheap. (It's definitely not Egypt or Turkey). I want to thank the staff of the Marhaba hotel for the high level of service.
