How much money to take
We are going with my wife in mid-March to Dubai for a week. In palan, visit fountains, a reserve, a shopping center with an aquarium, possibly a water park, the rest of the time just to see the city, sunbathe. In this regard, a few questions:
1.how much money to take with you (shopping if only small souvenirs)?
2.is the san marco hotel suitable for this?
3. Will we be able to visit everything ourselves, or take excursions (who is better)?
4.how is the weather?

I was in San Marco two years ago. City hotel. Not far from Nasser Square and Abrazh Center (you can walk). Took breakfast and lunch. The food was enough, corresponds to its two stars. They were taken to the beaches by bus. We went to pay. I don't know about the weather in March. I myself am flying to the UAE on March 2. It used to be only in November. You can go to the fountains and the shopping center yourself, you can go on an excursion. Two years ago, the prices were for excursions, for example, a jeep safari $ 50. A sightseeing tour of Dubai was $ 30. Now I don’t know what the prices are. We bought souvenirs at Nasser Square, there was a big bazaar, like our Chinese markets. Everything was there. I'm flying to Ras Al Khaimah. Changed the Egyptian tour in connection with their revolution to the Emirates

an excursion to the hotel, Parus, then cost 100 bucks. I really enjoyed the jeep safari tour. San Marco, of course, is not a luxury hotel, but it is quite suitable for a budget holiday. My room was clean and tidy. The mosque was not heard. Rooms without balconies. From the reception you go straight to the street. Near all sorts of shopping streets, in the evening you can eat in eateries, it was quite tasty. Especially cool fries! Everyone! still remember!

Yes, we don’t need a chic hotel), the main thing is not to be dirty, the staff is not thieving, and the food is more or less. are the beaches clean?
аватар Lenna50
San Marco is quite suitable for a budget holiday, there was a Russian-speaking guy at the reception, so everything was clear what and how and where. The staff was decent, just invisible. But everything was always neat. Nobody stole anything. In the Emirates, theft is very strict. You can also go to jail. The beaches are clean. There is no dirt.
аватар Lenna50
The food at the hotel is also quite good. No poisoning, everything is edible. Of course, there is no huge variety, as in some Egyptian hotels. But everything is quality. And there is enough food.

Thanks for the answers) we are just going somewhere for the first time (finally managed to escape), so I would like to know more so that the trip goes well)
аватар Lenna50
How many days are you flying? if for the first time, then you will have enough impressions. You can go to the Indian Ocean, on a jeep safari, there are a lot of interesting things in Dubai, ,, Sail,., fountains .... in San Marco and decide, there are a lot of Russians, they will tell you.
аватар Valerik23
We fly for seven or eight days.

For elementary souvenirs (magnets, small figurines, books, cards, postcards, and there is a large selection of them) - from 100 USD.
If you are only in Dubai, and will not travel to other emirates (60 USD - sightseeing bus, two lines (red and blue) + tickets to museums, visiting the water park 300-400 dirhams per person).
It is better to travel around the city by taxi, it is not very expensive for them (from Dubai Mall to Sail - 20 dirhams). Climb the Burj Khalifa - from 20 to 60 USD), drink coffee in a cafe overlooking the "singing fountains" (tea, coffee - 15-30 dirhams for each position).

The question arose, they were photographed for a visa (4 * 5 color), and then the acquaintances said that it was necessary to take pictures in some special way (the background is certain, etc.. so you are confused (
аватар Lenna50
ordinary color photo as a passport. I gave away one left from the issuance of a new passport
аватар MARI-KA
Tell me, but still $ 1000 is enough or not for excursions, souvenirs and meals, provided that I take a ticket from a travel agency. Many go to buy rags... Accordingly, considering all these expenses, how much money should you take with you?
аватар MARI-KA
I know the weather there in March is normal, go to any site and look at the data. I know that now vouchers can be called within 40-50 thousand. I also know that in summer they generally have heat, the Arabs themselves leave for resorts, where it is more cool and affordable.
аватар Lenna50
if you take two meals a day, then you can count on souvenirs, excursions and meals for $ 1,000. Toko without buying fur coats, phones, various expensive clothes, gold, etc.
аватар MARI-KA
how much are the coats?
аватар Lenna50
coats are different. But, starting from 2,000 bucks, you can buy more or less normal, knee-length, with a hood.
аватар MARI-KA
Well, then it's probably better to buy in China, you can find it cheaper there. Although the quality is excellent.
аватар Lenna50
there are also different qualities. And there are Chinese ones too. We must look carefully. If you have already bought fur coats somewhere (for example, in Greece or China), it will be easier to navigate in quality. I did not buy fur coats in the Emirates. I just went with the girls who bought for themselves. I went to Greece, to Kastoria for fur coats.
аватар Valerik23
Tell me more - is it better to take dollars with you? and where to change them? and yet - as I understand it, what they carry to free beaches and which paid beaches are better, and how much do they cost approximately?
аватар Valerik23
And yet, I did not see from whom it is best to take excursions and where?
аватар Lenna50
Take dollars. I changed at a bank near the Abrazh Center. Ask at the reception where else you can change. Do not change at the hotel, it is more expensive there. In the bank near the Abrazh Center, we even exchanged rubles (!!!) for dollars. And so you can take the euro, no difference, there are no problems with the exchange.
аватар Lenna50
I took excursions from the girl at the reception. And also walk along the beach, offer. Agencies Aladdin and Arabien. I traveled with both. There were no problems.
аватар Lenna50
we were taken to the beach at Mamzar. Normal good beach. The cost is small (within a few dollars)
аватар Lenna50
We also visited the free beach once. The beach is like a beach. Only near the road, there are no umbrellas and palm trees to hide from the sun. And there were many swarthy nations.
аватар Valerik23
thank you very much for your answers)
аватар Valerik23
I wonder if all these (Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain) unrest will reach the UAE. I understand the countries are all different, but 70% of the population in the UAE are foreign wage workers from Pakistan, India, etc.?
аватар Lenna50
Foreign hired workers (Pakistani, Indians, Filipinos, etc.) in the UAE do not have UAE citizenship, and therefore do not have any rights. It is simply unthinkable for me that guest workers would start a rebellion in the Emirates. And there is no one else to strike. All other sheikhs.
аватар Valerik23
Lenna50, still tell me, how is it about the Internet, and with communication (mobile)?
аватар Lenna50
As for the Internet, I don’t know for sure, I won’t lie. Mob. communication roaming, as elsewhere. You can also take SIM cards from local telecom operators. Comes out cheap. They also use Goodline.
аватар Lada36
Valerik 23, don’t worry so many Russians work in hotels, though they are already different from us, more sociable, they will tell you everything. Modern Dubai is $ 25 and you can buy a high-quality and Greek fur coat from the girls in hotels, they didn’t let us down, they bought a gorgeous beauty (mink coat) Thanks Nargis for the help.
