приехали мы в самый рамадан we arrived in Ramadan

In general, it turned out that we arrived at Ramadan itself: alcohol is prohibited at all, you can’t eat on the street during the day, it’s better to drink alcohol and not try, as they solder the term... Moreover, just at that time their emir died, one might say, that he was a god for this people (honestly, deservedly). So mourning for 10 days was added to Ramadan. Thank God, 23 shops were opened on the 3rd day of mourning to take care of tourists. The hotel as a whole is not bad, created in the style of a bamboo jungle, fulfills its 4 stars. Well, not like not 5, as many say. A free shuttle bus runs from the hotel to Dubai's main shopping and tourist centers. Upon arrival, do not forget to buy an adapter for an outlet, they have a triple plug; in the hotel this adapter costs 30 dirhams (1drh = 8 rubles), in the store 10, as they say, feel the difference! Internet at the hotel costs 1 minute = 1 AED, if translated in our own way, it will be 1 hour = 480 rubles....I'm stunned! We ate mostly in the market cafe. Of course, everything is delicious, but there is no great abundance there. Everything is mostly tasty and quite edible, we were satisfied. Russians are trying to show their culture: clumsily holding a fork in their left hand, and somehow not naturally cutting with a knife in their right, it's funny to watch until you realize that someone is also looking at you and chuckles! ; -). The Germans, Italians and other imported public (except for the Americans) will generally be drummed! They eat as it is convenient for them, without complexes, I have respect for them for this! Surprised by the food card system. You are given cards at the reception, and you go to the canteen with them. Why is all this a mystery, because they still ask for the room number, you sign when you need to!!!
There is a minimum of Russian-speaking staff (learn English). Some Filipinos from the staff have labels in Russian that say they are learning Russian, but damn these mutants don’t understand a word of ours! But they look so faithfully! : -))) On the tenth floor there is a privileged club of hotel lovers. There is free Internet, all kinds of baths and massages - everything is for you, but the rooms are the same. Those who like to show off can pay extra and settle there, but to be honest, for this money, I would go to a five-star hotel, where I would have all these privileges anyway. People, remember, there is a colossal construction going on behind the hotel (they are building a new district of Dubai, this is about 100 - 130 skyscrapers, can you imagine... and this is according to the plan for 10 years) and it will be for another 5-8 years !! ! So I do not advise city view.
Liked the beach. It is divided into two zones: 1- clean sand and sunbeds under umbrellas; 2 - sunbeds in the green corner of the hotel under the palm trees, and under the feet of a green lawn, prickly from the heat and haircuts. At the bottom, it’s like in a desert, it’s dead, but a fish comes across, crabs occasionally run along the bottom, carefully: there are a lot of jellyfish, after which red spots remain, I wouldn’t have noticed them if I hadn’t dived with a mask. Local security (such small and plump Asians) tried not to let me swim at night, but when I got into the water, the guards left muttering something in an untranslatable Filipino dialect!! ! We zadolbali them, probably... RUSSIAN!
