Tour from 19 to 29 September. It was hot (about 40 degrees during the day, about 34 in the evening, water - 33! ), but we endured normally, there are air conditioners everywhere. The flight was from Kyiv, Aerosvit airline, arrived at about 3 nights in Dubai, the tour was taken for 9 nights, taking into account the early settlement.
The airport is big, you can get lost. Everyone who flew with us underwent a retinal scan, which takes no more than 1-2 minutes per person. If someone buys Marhaba (quick control), then they are met at the exit from the sleeve of the plane and escorted to passport control, undergo a retinal scan without a queue. The host party is Royal Park, we sat for about an hour at the airport, waiting for everyone to be assigned to buses. Arriving at the hotel (Gloria Hotel Media City 4 * (Dubai Internet City metro station), it turned out that we would not be accommodated until 14:00, although the day had been paid. I really liked the hotel itself ! ! It was built in 2010, everything is new. The hotel is right next to the metro station, which is very convenient.
In total, the hotel has 40 floors, they settled us on the 40th floor. The room was 4026. All rooms in this hotel consist of a bedroom, a living room with an office, a full kitchen with a large refrigerator, dishwashing detergent, a set of plates, forks, spoons, cups, an opener (no corkscrew), scales, an electronic safe (free of charge) , 2 plasma, bathroom and room with washing machine, ironing board and iron, hair dryer, bidet. There is shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste (small set). The hotel was chosen for a very long time and it really justified itself! If I return to Dubai, I will gladly go there again. Water in the room is free of charge (replenished daily), and chocolates, chips are paid, parking at the hotel is free and what pleased us is that there is no deposit at the hotel! Shops where you can buy alcohol did not come to us, we took it with us. They dressed absolutely normally, but did not walk around the city in short shorts.
The room was overlooking the city, and on the other side of the room overlooking the sea, palm tree and burj al arab. The rooms are divided into: californian suite - with white furniture, modern suite - with dark "modern" furniture and mediterranean suite - with brown furniture.
Meals taken - breakfast, very tasty food. For breakfast: scrambled eggs, sausages, fried-boiled eggs, pancakes, baked tomatoes, mushrooms, saute, cheese, sausage, fruits (3 types of melon, watermelon, pineapple, peach), 6 types of buns, tea / coffee, cereals, yogurts, tasty juices (not yupi, but close to ours in tetra-packs). In general, you can have a good breakfast. People rested with us, they praised dinner very much - steaks from meat, fish, poultry, seafood shrimp, octopus, mussels, delicious desserts. Eating in cafes is absolutely inexpensive! We ate in the malls, at least 2 came out 5 ye, the maximum ate - 15 ye for two! So everything is available, it all depends on your preferences.
There is a mini market in the hotel near the reception, you can always buy something there, but there are no prices for goods, but don’t be afraid, everything is cheap there. There is a gas station opposite the hotel, it has a Subway fast food cafe where you can have a cheap meal. We did not find a supermarket nearby. You need to take an adapter for the socket with you or take it at the reception. Gym, jacuzzi - free of charge. Loved the pool on the 8th floor, big enough for this kind of hotel (it's cooled! ), also free internet in the room (there is a cord). Service and cleaning of the room at a good level! We drove from this hotel to Jumeirah Beach for free, the bus leaves at 09:00, back at 13:00. You can use the free beach or pay an entrance fee of 5 dirhams and swim on the equipped beach. Towels - for an additional fee (we took towels from the room to all the beaches). We went to Al Mamzar Beach, a bit far. First, on the red line of the metro, then transfer to the green line, and went to the station.
Al Qiyadah, they took a taxi to the beach. It turned out about - 25 dirhams for two in one direction. Entrance to the beach - 5 dirhams. I didn't really like it, deserted, very few people. Then we went to the public beach in the Dubai Marina area (between the Sheraton and Hilton hotels, opposite the Amwaj Rotana hotel), take the red line to the station. Jumeirah Lakes Towers, and from there walk 10 minutes or take a taxi for 10 dirhams. The beach is not equipped, there are Russians, but I liked it! We also went to the beach, where the shuttle bass from the hotel takes it, a good beach.
Who says that very expensive purchases, if you go not in February? We found a bunch of shops with sales and very reasonable prices! Before this trip, I thought that food and things were very expensive, but it turned out to be quite the opposite, everything is available. If you want fur coats - art. m. Union, if you want gold - the Golden Souk gold market (not far from Union station, there are bags, T-shirts made of gold, etc. ) or stop. Metro First Gulf Bank (where you can buy gold in Gold&Diamond Park). The average price for 1 gram is 44 ye (without stones).
I bought gold for myself at Gold&Diamond Park, as prices were higher on the market. For equipment, I advise you to go to the store - Sharaf DG (located not at a consonant metro station, but in shopping centers, for example, in the Dubai Mall). We bought a mobile phone, cheaper than ours for 300 ye. They wanted to buy plasma, it is also cheaper, but they did not dare, although at the airport they saw how people took 2-3 TVs.
Guide - Elena Ahmad. (tel +971506552395)
Taxi - with multi-colored roofs, landing - 3 dirhams. Watch the road, otherwise you may be taken along the longest path (after the words take us along the shortest path! The guide advised just not to pay extra if they were not taken there, but the real fare and say that we will call the hotline, in each taxi has this number), we immediately succeeded, then we had to look at the road on the map ourselves. Massages at the hotel are not cheap. Regular massage from 250 dirhams for 60 minutes and more (I still have a sheet with prices, I will send it to anyone who needs it).
There were no shuttle buses to the malls in September. You can go boating in the “Madinat Jumeirah” complex next to the Sail Hotel and Wild Wadi Water Park, riding about 20 minutes - 60 dirhams / person. The course is 1 ye = 3.65 dirhams, it is best to change in shopping centers, the rate is lower at the hotel. The fare on the metro depends on the distance traveled and is usually 4.5 dirhams one way, and on the way back you need to provide the same card and the fare will be 2.5. Cards need to be saved, because they are constantly used (1 card up to 10 trips), just new information is entered on it every time. The same card is used to travel by bus, but it must be topped up in advance at the metro ticket office. Also, the metro is divided into 4 zones: 1-short, 2 - a little further, and so on.
We went to the Chill Out ice cafe (in the Times Square mall, which is located between the First Gulf Bank and Noor Islamic Bank metro stations). You can get off at any of the stations and take a taxi for 10 dirhams. Admission is 60 dir/person, including tea or hot chocolate.
Inside, chairs, tables and various figurines are made of la, the temperature is minus 6.
I advise you to climb the Burj Khalifa tower (the tallest building in the world), go to the station. Burj Khalifa and walk 10 minutes to Dubai Mall, on the LG floor you can buy tickets for the tower (to go up to the 124th floor, the elevator takes 58 seconds). As a rule, tickets are redeemed quickly, we bought in 2 days to get into it. I advise you to go around 17:00 (we went at 15:30). Entrance - 100 dir / person + 1 card for two for 25 dirhams (to bring objects closer, you can use it many times). In the Dubai mall - one of the largest aquariums in the world, an indoor gold market, Dubai fountains (the largest in the world, 150m), a skating rink.
We took an excursion to Abu Dhabi from the guide for 80 ye with lunch (morning). Liked it! 140 km from Dubai, on the way about an hour, visited the Sheikh Zayed Mosque (6th in the world), the mosque is very beautiful (all women were forced to wear an abaya), also the Emirates Palace Hotel (unofficially 7 *, gold leaf ceilings), Manhattan Abu Dhabi .
The advantage of Atlantis is that you can swim and sunbathe on the beach there, there is no beach in Wild Wadi, but we chose it. A taxi from the hotel is about 20 dirhams one way, entrance - 205 dirhams / person for the whole day + safe 25 dirhams and food came out 30 dirhams per day for two. Loved the water park! There are more than 20 slides in the park, and a lazy river, slides with the flow of water not down, but up, a pool with an artificial wave, waves for surfers, extreme slides (free fall about 33 m). In general, I advise!
Shopping centers. Most of all I liked Ibn Batutta Mall (metro station of the same name) and Deira City Center (metro also), there is a good choice and reasonable prices. The rest of the malls are very beautiful, but the prices there are more expensive.
In general, the country was very satisfied. If you need any information, please get in touch!
