I was vacationing in Dubai with two children aged 4 and 12. I’ll say right away, don’t believe that children have nothing to do in Dubai.
Flytour travel agency sent us, met Royal Park. Everything went without any questions - quickly and clearly. In the morning we met with the guide. Kira answered all questions very quickly, clearly and distinctly. She handed out metro maps, for which special thanks. and even vice versa, she suggested where to go, and where you can go on your own.
The hotel is very clean. We settled quickly. True, our hopes for combined rooms did not materialize (it turns out this is a big problem). We were given two rooms side by side, through the wall.
The rooms are not big, everything is there. Kettle, tea, coffee, sugar. Every day replenished. Small refrigerator, TV with Russian channels.
Linen and towels were also changed every day. Even if the towels were taken to the beach or to the water park, there was always a clean set.

Rooftop pool with heated water, Sun loungers. Towels. If you wish, you can order food. Internet is free only wired. WiFi 20 AED per hour.
We only had breakfast, which we did not regret, because. rarely returned to the room before 23.00. We left at 8-9.
The buffet food, of course, is not like in 5 * in Turkey (it's still 3 *), But even our very fastidious children found something to eat every day. Flakes, cuts, sausages, eggs, pasta, toasts, croissants, etc. . d. So don't be scared.
From the hotel there is a transfer to the public beach, by appointment, but we took a taxi ~ 15 - 17 derhams (course 3.66). To Jumeirah Beach Park 25 - 27 derhams. Entrance 5 derhams. We didn’t really like it there, although the park itself is beautiful.
We always dined somewhere in the city. If we didn’t have dinner, then on the way to the supermarket we bought something for dinner. Prices are comparable to prices in Odessa supermarkets, and lower for fruits. Dairy products are more expensive.
The hotel is a 3-minute walk from the Emirates Mall - it's very convenient. The entrance to the metro is in the mall + a bunch of shops and fast food cafes.
ADVICE everyone buy the DUBAY ENTERTAINER book. This is a book with a bunch of discount coupons for entertainment and food (including in our hotel). You buy one ticket - the second one is free. In the restaurant you ordered one dish - the second one is free. Serious savings, especially if for four . Sold in the mall in the bookstore - costs 395 derhams.
Be sure to visit Abu Dhabi and the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. Words cannot express - you must see. It costs $ 80 for adults, $ 50 for children. Guide Vitaly was very interesting and told a lot.
We took a panoramic tour of Dubai with an ascent to the Burj Khalifa $ 90 for an adult, $ 70 for a child.
Fountains - this is indescribable neither photo nor video. From the hotel by metro. Sit at 32 stations, get off at 25. In the metro you buy a card for 20 derhams, on it 14 derhams. Travel to Dubai Mall 4.10. The metro is a separate attraction.
Be sure to visit the Dubai Museum. Entrance 3 Derhams.

Shopping is better in Ibn Batuta mall - 39 metro station. Isam mall is very beautiful - in the styles of different countries - China, India, Egypt.
It is beautiful and there is a place to take pictures - the Medinat Jumeirah hotel. Dubai Venice. Boat ride on the canals - 70 Derhams for adults and 40 for children.
You can talk endlessly about what you saw in Dubai. And leaving the country, the feeling does not leave you - how much I have not had time to see yet. If you have any questions, I will answer with pleasure.
