The first day. Checked in the night before. It was already dark, but, passing by a neighboring construction site, something bad crept into my soul.
9 am. We sleep with an open balcony, but we came to the sea - it takes 7 days to breathe in the breeze, iodine, and what else they breathe on the coast))) We woke up from the creak of working construction equipment. Rocks are thrown along the pier. Husband's question "Maybe they don't bring them down all day? ". Hmm... If we were in Spain or Italy, then of course we would bring down 3 hours a day, because there is either a siesta or lunch, then it is already dark - who in the dark brings down stones. Not here, they work.
Beach. 500 meters. Lots of space, enough for everyone. But it’s somehow suspicious that everyone is bridged in the middle. Here it is. On the left - the construction site is heavily hammering piles or yards, something metallic. To the right are stones. I read somewhere that they are quietly building in the Emirates. Do not believe, as elsewhere.
Waiting for the wind from the sea)))
Evening of the first day. They built them all day long. The winds from the sea waited - the red flag was hung out. Storm, tomorrow +20 and windy.
Second day.
Storm again today, sunny but strong north wind - brrrr. Very northern people sunbathe, and I even froze in a blouse. Let's go to the mall in Dubai.
I didn’t like the observation deck of Burj Khalifa, the part from which you can see the palm island, Atlantis and Burj Dubai is glazed from bottom to top with dirty glass, and it’s almost impossible to take a good picture of it. I did not think that the number of tickets per day for viewing is so limited that if you have not booked in advance, then they will offer a visit for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Urgent - 400 AED. And this is for a minute more than 100 ye. Well, I guess there are crowds. Whatever. There are dozens of times more queues for the Eiffel Tower. And this is pure speculation. Of course, how many millions did they invest to build IT?
Day three. Sunny, the wind is not so northerly and strong. In a leeward place you can sunbathe. Basically, everything is by the pool, on the beach, vacationers have built barricades of sunbeds. A tractor carries sand to the beach. They brought a camel to work, rides children and adults.
There are no camel races at this time of the year, and a laser show at a desert hotel on Fridays.
Day four. The service at the hotel is good: 2 times a day they change towels in the room and make a marafet. In general, they are afraid if you tense up once again. Passing by the bar, the husband asked for ice in order to drink a cocktail from the rum he had brought with him in the room. They poured a glass of ice on him, but asked him to call the room service next time, otherwise they would be reprimanded. The next time room service carried ice for 20 minutes. And the pipes were on fire.
The food is like everywhere else. From the unusual earlier for breakfast: carrot, cucumber fresh; gazpacho. Desserts based on yogurt and cream prepared in front of you. A wide selection of teas, you can brew yourself in a teapot, and if you are too lazy, the waiter will do it for you.
The staff is polite and helpful.
Day five. Sunny, windless, beautiful waves and great mood. But... Part of the beach was blocked and tractors are leveling / heaping / pulling out the sand. Beach renovation. They are buzzing.
Day six and seven. It's good to jump on the waves. The beach here is one of the most beautiful I have ever visited: the beach is wide, white fine clean sand, warm water of the Persian Gulf, waves with white lambs, but without fear that corals are under your feet. And what amazing sunsets! Golden pink with orange halo and water trail. Charm! The surf threw out small crabs and they buried themselves ridiculously in the wet sand.
On the day of departure, we checked out according to schedule, at 12. At 16, we have a transfer to the airport. We were allowed to leave our things in the luggage room and freshen up before the road in the wellness center.
There is an Indian party on the beach, either they have a national holiday, or just a day off. Everyone is in lilac and dancing folk dances under a local DJ))
Conclusions: Nevertheless, the weather in March is not very beachy. It is hot in the sun, cold in the shade in the wind.
The hotel is good in all respects, service-food-sea. Entertainment - bowling, bars with live music. Gym, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi - free of charge.
Perhaps the minus of the hotel is the distance from Dubai. Somewhere 45 minutes by car to shopping centers. There is a free shuttle bus from the hotel, which carries on schedule 3 times a day, the travel time from the hotel to the extreme point of the Emirates Mall is almost 2 hours. On the way, he stops at Deira, Sharjah, Gold Souk, Dubai Mall and Emirates Mall.
Deposit upon arrival - 300 ye, it is also given upon check-out, pay for everything in local currency or by credit card.
I don't know why, but in the hotel 90% are families with small children and the same 99% are Russian-speaking tourists. Russian speaking staff is in the main dining room, towels and a waiter in an Indian restaurant.
What in my opinion is good for children is a sandy beach where you can rummage, build pyramids and so on, a swimming pool - a paddling pool, a children's room, a nanny. No - children's menu, high chairs, animations. By the way, no one really bathed children in the sea, either because of the waves, or because of the wind. And in the cold wind, few people left their child in the sand to play.
R. S. Construction and "rolling" of stones continued throughout the week of our holiday.
