Experienced tourists, do you recommend traveling with a one-year-old child to this hotel in November?
We are planning a train with a baby to this hotel in November 2013. Tell me, is it comfortable to stay with a child in CityMax, is it convenient for us to get to the beach with a child. Will it be possible to visit the Zayed Mosque with such a small one, would it not be tactless if the baby bursts into tears in the mosque?

Citymax Bur Dubai is the most popular hotel to stay in Dubai for a reason. It has no drawbacks, except for the lack of its own beach and an extra bed in the room: a choice of bars and restaurants, pools, free transfer to the beach, close to the metro, shops, malls, Internet for free, Russian karaoke, Russian parties.
Are tourists allowed into the mosque?

Did you mean the mosque in Abu Dhabi? When it's time to visit tourists, the baby is not a hindrance. Another thing, dear to her is not very close.

chugai and TanjaYad thanks for the responses. Yes, I mean the mosque in Abu Dhabi. And how much is the road to the mosque? Tell me, is the weather comfortable for a child in November, or can you advise another, more favorable month?
аватар TanjaYad
We were at the end of November. We were very comfortable. It's not hot and the water is still warm. With a cub, maybe a couple of weeks earlier. We went to Abu Dhabi with a full day excursion. Many still go there on their own.

Ira, traveling with a baby to a NOT beach hotel is hard work for parents and a test of endurance for a child. From Dubai to Abu Dhabi about 180 km., It's 3 hours to go there and 3 hours back. Do you imagine this way with a baby? During the tour, you will carry the child on yourself. after 3 hours on the road, the child will be exhausted.

I will support Natasha - this is a purely urban hotel. Basically, people go there for shopping, because it is very cheap.
Tourists are allowed into the mosque, but my friends (tourists, Ukrainians) put on a hijab there in order to feel normal, walk around calmly and take pictures. Men in beach shorts and T-shirts are also not welcome there. As for babies, the situation is, I will not say. And what do you want to show such a small one in the mosque???

well, guys, with a four-year-old I don’t dare to go somewhere further than the city park, and you go to another country, which is also quite hot ... one flight will cost the baby ...

Dissuading someone from the trip is a thankless and empty business. If you decide to go!!!
1. Children are different. Someone in the yard roars the loudest, and someone endures the flight. Fly for a long time, the average flight duration is 4 hours 40 minutes (if landing is not given almost 5!). LOOK FOR YOURSELF!
2. Independent excursion to Abu Dhabi. No need to pick up everyone on the bus! WITH A CHILD I DO NOT VERY WANT TO WAIT FOR EVERYONE. From the hotel taxi to the bus station in BAR DUBAI AL Ghubaiba tickets 30 dirhams (8 dollars) per person from the station in Abu Dhabi taxi to the Mosque 27 dirhams 7 dollars. (TELL TAXI DRIVER: BIG WHITE MOSK Big White Mosque).
IMPORTANT: Since you are a family, they will let you on the bus without a queue, they will put you in front. Stock up on food for the baby, and even better with WATER, and yes, and a camera.
CRY FOR YOUR HEALTH WHEREVER YOU WANT in the mosque, they don’t pay attention to this, in the toilet in the mosque, there is a special marble room with wash basins for hands and a separate one for legs, where I saw how little children were washed after the defecation process. THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS.
AT the entrance to the mosque you will be given an Abaya (women's clothing in the type of BURQUAS), the time of stay is unlimited!
Everyone decides for himself. GOOD LUCK!

Oh, thank you, NatashaS, davekz, for responding, made me think about the trip, is it worth it? I was worried, maybe we shouldn’t break out so early. Pachok, what do we want to show the baby in the mosque, we ourselves want to see this mosque, I so dream of seeing it, but there is no one to leave the little one to. But EmilyUA inspired me. Thanks everyone. Or maybe we can take an economy option at a beach hotel not in Dubai, but go to Dubai a couple of times????? And then being in the UAE and not visiting Dubai is somehow ridiculous.
аватар Pachok
Why is it ridiculous? This is not Rome or Paris. Ordinary modern city. I think one or two "sorties" would be enough with the head. For a vacation with a baby, I would take, if not expensive, but a beach hotel.
аватар ira_gliznutsa
And what inexpensive beach hotel can you recommend that is both pretty and close to Dubai?

"yeah, guys, with a four-year-old I don’t dare to go somewhere further than the city park, and you go to another country, which is also quite hot ... one flight will cost the baby ..."
I don't get it, what's wrong with flying? 5 hours of sleep?
аватар EmilyUA
in Dubai there is a beach triplet this is REGENT BEACH RESORT 3 * in the elite area of ​​Jumeirah (here in April for this option for 6 nights the cost is 2,094 thousand dollars, breakfast, through Tez Tour)
Sharjah : BEACH HOTEL SHARJAH 3 * April 1992 USD on breakfast through Tez Tour, Lou`Lou`A Beach Resort 3* will be a bit more expensive.
There are also quadruplets Carlton Sharjah 4 * and Coral Beach Resort 4 * (April 2202 USD for 6 nights, Tez Tour)
In November, all this will be a little more expensive, since the best month in my SUBJECTIVE opinion. I WATCHED YOU ALL THROUGH THE TEZ TOUR, since I myself use only it, maybe it’s cheaper somewhere. THIS IS JUST TO orient you in prices. GOOD LUCK!

EmilyUA, thank you very much, very useful information!

a week since we returned from this hotel. It seems to me that Citymax is not quite suitable for children. How do you deal with nutrition? (if the child is not breastfed) it is easy to get to the beach both by taxi and by the hotel bus. There are enough places for everyone. we were from 12.01 -19.01 and then managed to burn with all the creams. at the airport, parents with children did not stand in line anywhere, they were escorted out of line. but only upon arrival. back defended everything for an hour and a half

We were in this hotel in March 2012, everything is fine, but if your room windows face the inside of the building, as we did, then with the windows open you will "enjoy" the smells from the restaurant, we were on the 7th floor!
аватар ira_gliznutsa
Thanks to autoline for suggesting that when we check in, we will ask to go to another part of the building.
