They flew on a burning tour from Kyiv. Tour operator Natalie Tur. Fly Dubai airline. The flight was delayed by 1 hour. The ticket price does not include food, but for reasonable money you can have a bite to eat. Aircraft and staff are good. We flew to Dubai in 4 hours and 45 minutes. Meeting party Alpha Tour. Since the hotel is close to the airport, we were taken to the hotel in 10 minutes by jeep. We were immediately seated on the 4th floor. I really liked the room. Everything needed for a comfortable stay was there. Since we had a tour without meals, we were very pleased with the presence of a kitchen, a kettle, a toaster, and the necessary utensils. Tea, coffee, sugar, cream and water were replenished every day. We have never regretted choosing a hotel and that we did not take food at the hotel. There are two supermarkets nearby, food prices are low, so there were no problems with food.
Since the hotel is urban type, the area is small. The pool is small but heated and clean. Once bought up, there was no more need and time.
There is a bus to the beach at 9.00 and 9.30. The queue is great. For two or even three flights they took everyone out. Back at 12.30 and 13.00. It takes about 10 minutes to drive. True, our former compatriots took the bus by storm, which was a little annoying. You can take a taxi for 18 dirhams. The beach is located on the territory of the large Al Mamzar Park. Entrance 5 dirhams. We went to the third beach. He is really the best, but further away, you have to take a walk. But it's worth it. It's cleaner and quieter, there are fewer people. The water was warm and clean.

At 17.00 they take the bus to Nasser Square and Deira City. Back at 21.30. We went a couple of times. They themselves went by subway, if they did not want to be tied in time.
Excursion to Abu Dhabi. took in Orient Voyage. There was a good Saami guide. We learned a lot of interesting and useful things about the country from him. I liked the trip. The White Mosque is a work of art, very beautiful. We also agreed privately on a sightseeing tour with an ascent to the Burj Khalifa. First we climbed the tower. This is definitely a must experience at least once in a lifetime. Then we were driven around the city, we saw all the sights. We were very pleased that we went individually, without any fuss we looked at everything and also learned a lot of interesting things. I was struck by the luxury and beauty of the buildings. How can you think of this and put it into practice? We also took a safari tour from the hotel guide, but we were unlucky, on that day it started to rain very heavily with a thunderstorm and the tour was canceled and the money was returned to us. We were a little upset, but then we decided that it was not fate and there would be a reason to come again. I would like to note the very good work of the hotel guide Katerina. Nice and very responsible girl.
We took the metro from Nahda station to Dubai Marina, and without leaving the metro we changed in the opposite direction and got off in the center at the Dubai Mall stop, but we were charged only as from our station to the center. So you can look at the city from above for almost free by taking the metro from Nahda station almost to the end of the red line in the direction of Dubai Marina and back and get off at Stadium station (one stop before Nahda). Picked up in one stop. We took a silver card, it is very convenient and there are no problems with replenishment at the terminal or at the checkout. You can look at the map in the subway everywhere and figure it out. It’s problematic to get to the metro only in the center, it’s not entirely clear, but you can still find it. It is better to first take the metro to the Dubai Mall and go in the direction to the Burj Khalifa for the people, and it will be clearer back. From the hotel by metro to the center with a change at Union station, it's a 25-minute ride.
We got to prepare for the holiday on December 2, the 41st anniversary of the unification of the Emirates. Lots of symbolism, lights, very beautiful. Unfortunately, the holiday itself was no longer caught, they flew away on that day.

We were taken back early three hours before check-in, but the flight was delayed at 1.20. In general, tired but satisfied, they returned home with a lot of impressions. It is a pity that there was not enough time to enjoy the beauty.
Output:
I liked the hotel, suitable for outdoor activities. The staff and service is good. Very calm environment in the hotel. Quiet, what you need to at least have a little rest at night, as they came late tired. You can not take food so as not to be tied in time. The presence of a metro station near the hotel helped to move around the city without any problems. To learn about the history of the country and the life of the people, it is better to take some sightseeing tour. A trip to Abu Dhabi helped us with this. We really liked the country. Emirates is an eternal holiday. It is surprising how such a development could have been reached in such a short time. It's just fantastic. Would like to return again. There was not enough time, it is necessary to fly not for a week. Can be in the same hotel.
