Before traveling to the UAE, I read a lot of reviews. so she had an idea. where I'm going. At the airport we went through all the controls very quickly. 20 minutes. and then 2 hours sitting and waiting. when will we be taken to our hotel. In terminal 2 of the airport in the arrivals compartment, the duty free shop is very small. but the choice of alcohol and sweets is ordinary. If you like to drink a glass in the evening. then you have to buy alcohol there. You can't buy it anywhere else in the UAE (except restaurants and bars). There are no restaurants in Sharjah. no bars. no nightclubs. Buy a drink - no way. On excursions, drinks were at cosmic prices. For example. 30 grams of capital vodka costs 30 dirhams (about 300 rubles).
We arrived at the hotel late in the evening. greeted warmly. posted right away. I advise you to take rooms in the far building. since there the rooms are large. and there is less noise from the road. The rooms are big. clean. Shampoos, toothbrushes with paste and shaving accessories were changed every day. but there are no tea and coffee sets. You need to take a room on the 2nd floor. as the drain is very loud on the 1st floor.
The appearance of the hotel is very sad. but he is on the second line. and that's a big plus. The road is easy to cross. she's not very tense. We witnessed such a picture: tourists from an expensive city hotel were sitting at 13:00 in the very heat on the street near the Beach Hotel and were waiting for their bus. who was supposed to take them to the hotel. But he was not and was not... A sad picture.

City beach is 5-8 minutes walk. behind the Lou Lou hotel. The beach is very big. Pretty clean. we are not better in Russia. Beach towels can be taken at the reception every day clean. You could go to the beach of a nearby hotel for 20 dirhams. We went once. it's very tight in there. close to each other. Although there are sun loungers and loungers. But then they decided. which is more convenient for us on the city beach. One minus - on Fridays, a lot of locals rest on the beach. Pakistanis and others stare. which is not very pleasant. And the rest - everything is fine.
From the hotel every day for free by bus carry to Dubai Nasr Square. in the evening at 21:00 bring back. From the neighboring hotel, they also carry every day to Dubai to the Deira City center. To the Outleck Mall.
Also, Sharjah malls are transported by bus for free. For example. in the Sahara mall. Mega mall.
We went to Dubai every day in the evenings. We visited the Dubai Marina area on our own. rode the subway. went to the shops.
We took a lot of excursions: Dubai is modern. Abu Dhabi. Safari. Fantastic Arabian ship. Oman fishing. Everything is very interesting.
The duty-free shop in the departure compartment is large. You can buy everything there: alcohol. candies. cigarettes. Appliances. souvenirs. gold. stitches and more. One lady bought three packs of washing powder in front of me, which surprised me very much.
All in all. didn't regret anything. rest was satisfied. The hotel corresponds to its category in terms of stars and price. But still, if we compare two hotels: Summer Land and All Seef. which are nearby and have the same price category. then outwardly All Seef looks more presentable and solid.
If anyone has questions. write. I will answer with pleasure.
