stayed at this hotel for a week.
meals were breakfast (6.00-10.00)-dinner (19.00-23.00). I am not a fan of local extravagant cuisine, so dinner was a good decision. I didn’t really want to eat at lunch, I drank a lot of water and bought various fruits in the supermarket (Spinnes) (mango and other exotic fruits that we sell per piece, and there you can buy per kg at affordable prices).
to the metro station of the red line Al Karama on foot min 10-15.
to the free beach (open beach) on foot 1 hour, very tiring in the heat (believe me, even looking at the sights and cooling off at stops), by taxi 16-18 dirhams (rate 1 USD: 3.66 AED, has not changed for 5 years as the locals said residents).
I recommend visiting the Dubai Museum (entrance 3 dirhams), very interesting: sculptures in national clothes, a video about the development of the UAE from 1920 to 2010.

I read in the reviews that the country is Muslim with strict laws, you can relax and not follow things, I want to REJECT and WARN!! ! be WARNING, a mobile phone was stolen in front of me on the beach and no one even raised a voice, although there were plenty of witnesses, and bathers were a few steps in the water.
Impressed by Palm (Jumeirah Island). you can get to the palm tree itself by bus number 8 from the beach open near the Parus hotel (Burj al Rab) (using the "only day" ticket, a red card is bought in the metro 16 dirhams per person can be used in the metro all day and buses where the card is read and still on boats, but I didn’t ride) . further from the very entrance to Palma, you can take the metro (this is already a new line) goes to the Atlantis hotel, the ticket costs 25 dirhams round-trip. at the Atlantis hotel you can visit the water park (about 200 dirhams, but worth it).
I went up to the Burj Khalifa observation deck (124th floor), I bought a ticket in the Dubai Mall building (100 dirhams, you can take a viewing pipe for 25 dirhams).
Were in hypermarket Ibn Battuta. I liked the interior and found a sale at ridiculous prices, so unexpected shopping replenished my bag of things by 8 kg))).
I took an excursion to Abu Dhabi - very interesting and rich - I recommend it. you can take an overview during the day in Dubai on your arrival if you don’t stay for long.
Overall, I really enjoyed the trip!
