Дубай фореве dubai forever

We stayed at the Claridge Hotel in the center of Dubai. The hotel is good, the food too, it's not Turkey, so don't expect all inclusive, but you won't go hungry. We had breakfasts and lunches. but I advise you to take one breakfast, as we only dined 2 times in a week at the hotel, because. all the time either on excursions or on the beach. To the left of the hotel is a kamikaze crossing. The traffic light is always red! therefore, if you want to live, look both ways : ) xD
Movement tin! Nobody stops and does not let pedestrians through!
Now for tours!
They now have some new rules there, the buses are not large sightseeing buses, but minivans and jeeps. Therefore, the price of excursions has increased dramatically.
On average, the price for one is from $55 to $110, so be prepared to spend. . .

Our family (3 people) gave about $ 1000 for 4 excursions (Modern Dubai: 175, Six Emirates in one day: 300, Wild Wadi Water Park: 225, Rustar Pleasure Boat 300). We highly recommend MODERN THINK, SIX EMIRATES and AQUAPARK, EXACTLY WILD WADI! IT'S WORTH IT!
BEACH!
The entrance is paid, 5 derhams per person (1.5 dollars, the dollar exchange rate is 3.65 derhams)
The beach is cool, located on the territory of a huge, beautiful park "Al Mamzar". Umbrellas 10 derhams, sunbed 15. (without mattress)
But the beach has very good sand, you can do without a sunbed.
Take suntan creams with you at home, as they are either very expensive or not at all!
TAXI!!!!
In Dubai, all transportation is mainly by taxi. On average, up to 30 derhams per trip (depending on where), but taxis are not cheap!
So I recommend saving the extra $100 for travel.
Shopping.
The hotel itself is a 10-minute walk from the shopping street "NASER SQUARE". Of all the things that we saw, the cheapest, oddly enough, mink coats, short - $ 700-800, long - 2500. (Prices after auction). do not be afraid to bargain, even if they start from 7 thousand dollars for a fur coat. Will be given as above. The quality is very good. On the street, a lot of Russian barkers to fur coat shopping centers, not a fighter, go, bargain and enjoy your purchase.
Taxi to Another Emirate.
We took a taxi from Dubai to the Emirate of Sharjah. It takes 20 minutes to drive, but be prepared that they will take a double counter, they may not warn you in advance!
UNDERGROUND.
We took the subway once. Only a few stations have been opened so far, but I recommend visiting this MASTERPIECE. You can take the metro to the Emirates Mall. This is a huge shopping center with an artificial ski resort inside (I think you have not seen this yet). Lots of shops, cafes, entertainment.
Yes, yet. Do not hug or kiss in public places, even on the beach, in front of our eyes, a couple hugged near the water. Out of nowhere, a police jeep came up and forced them to move away from each other. In general, they were lucky . . for this fine . . and not small!
In general, this country is worth visiting, at least in order to see all the greatness of Modern buildings. This feeling of unreality! And shopping is second!

HAVE A GOOD HOLIDAY (DO NOT GET LOST IN THE AIRPORT, FOLLOW THE CROWD)!
