Vacation
We traveled from 05/19/12 to 05/29/12. The flight with a connection in Dubai and a transfer from the airport to the hotel took more than 13 hours! We flew FlyDubai - a budget airline with paid meals, drinks and entertainment. The hotel is located on a spit between the river and the ocean. Every time you go to the city, you have to take a small boat. They go quite often, so there is no inconvenience in this regard.
A mid-range hotel, about like an inexpensive five in Egypt.
The food is also good, just a little spicy.
Every day we went to the city for fruits, seafood, etc.
Everywhere you need to bargain, we dropped prices at least twice.
In general, we liked everything. But there are still so many interesting places in the world that we are unlikely to ever come here.
