Любимые Эмираты! Dear Emirates!

I'll start in order: we flew from Donetsk (al arabiya), departure on time. We flew to Sharjah, quickly passed the retina and passport control and went to the meeting side of the Royal Park, the children were given a Kit Kat chocolate bar, the girls were given a rose. We waited 30 minutes for all the other tourists and went to the bus, but as it turned out, they were not going to go yet. During 1.10 we were waiting for 4 arriving flights. We got to the hotel in 30 minutes, we were lucky because we were one of the first to leave. Checked in quickly with no delays.

Room: was on the 3rd floor (no balcony), overlooked a side street. The only negative was that at night you could hear the garbage being taken out. And we liked the number. If you go with a child, then you need to take separate beds, the three of us were cramped to sleep. Everything worked properly. Plasma TV, but not a single Russian channel. If you need an adapter, tell the reception, they will bring it. To swim in the shower, you need to turn on the switch before entering the bathroom and after a couple of hours the water will heat up.

Internet worked well, but only picks up at the reception or in front of the hotel. On the day of arrival, a 1.5 liter bottle of water is provided.

Guide: from Royal Park, if I'm not mistaken, this misunderstanding was called Olga. A very unpleasant middle-aged person. This is our 3rd time in the UAE, but we have never seen such boorish guides. Usually excursions are strained in Turkey or Egypt, but apparently Turkey's policy has reached the UAE. When she found out that we were not going to buy excursions from her, she decided to make insulting remarks about how to relax. She was then approached by other tourists who were waiting for the bus to Fujairah, which was delayed. Here we were generally shocked by her upbringing, at first she ignored them, and then yelled that go to the room and there was nothing to pester with stupid questions.

Food: if it is possible to go without food, you can safely go, you will not regret it. We had breakfast, which turned out to be stupid.
I always write in reviews that no one will be left hungry, in any case, you can find something to eat, but I won’t say anything about food at Auris Hotel Apartments. There seems to be enough food, but we didn't want to eat any of it. It was much more interesting to go to the supermarket and buy what you want. We compared prices in nearby supermarkets, the cheapest one was on the corner behind Flora Grand.

Beach: we drove to Al Mamzar, I won’t write about it, because the Internet is already full of information. But the transfer to the beach is a different story. It seems to be there, but it turned out to be easier to take a taxi. Departure time is from 8.30-9.00 and 9.30-10.00, everything is mysteriously back at 13.00, then at 14.00. A couple of times it happened that there was no bus, and at 10.00, after going to the reception, a hired bus arrived. When the driver was asked what time we would go back, he said that he would call. The question is, how can you call 15 people who are in different parts of the beach. We never once got on the bus back to the hotel.

By the way, foreigners never waited for a transfer, they always left by taxi. A taxi costs 20 dirhams.

Safari: taken from Aladdin ($135) for three. Everything went perfectly. Picked up at 3:00 pm and returned at 9:30 pm. We had a lot of fun, the driver was super. True, they later explained to us that they rode us without extreme sports, because there was a child and a disabled girl in the car. But this was enough for us, in the middle of the ride the child was a little sick, but thanks to the professionalism of the driver everything worked out (I made stops on time). The child really enjoyed riding the ATV, the cost of 15 minutes is 50 dirhams, but no one watches the time.

Not without shopping, but I think it is not necessary to write about it, because everyone in the UAE acquires something. The only thing I can say about the shopping festival is that the discounts are not as big as they write about it. My husband and I were at the end of November, so for many things, the prices did not fall, but remained the same.
Or new collections have appeared, but like with discounts. But in November the weather is great. Although this time there was a full suitcase of things.

The return transfer to the airport arrived on time, flew out without delay too. Once again, we are delighted with the UAE. The child now dreams of going again, because not everyone had time to see it. We try not to pay attention to all sorts of unpleasant little things and relax with pleasure. Have a nice rest and good mood!
