Bribes and gifts
I already understood that in the UAE it is not customary to shove money in a hotel for the best room. But something did not meet any information on the subject of tips (maids, as well as in restaurants). Leave or not leave? If yes, then how much? I take Ukrainian chocolates with me on my travels - will the maids or at the reception be offended if I treat them? Thanks.

Oksana, of course, they will not be offended, they will be in seventh heaven with happiness.
Tipping in restaurants is up to you. When we left a tip, the waiters were just happy, you can see they are not spoiled there very much)

In the hotel, I think the world-famous $1 is enough? Or is it not enough for such a rich country?

There are no cleaners in the UAE. There are men at this job. I left the money on the bed, they always took it away, I also gave it to the battle. It's useless at the reception, don't even try. In short, they do not take as a bribe, but as a reward with pleasure. In a number of restaurants, tips are already included in the menu, there is a note about this in the menu and receipt. The rest is up to you.

Tips to the maid are usually left on the bed, so that it is clear that you did not accidentally put them there.

Yes, there were no problems in Egypt, but in the UAE, I see, they are very respectable and ceremonial, well done, of course. How can this piece of paper be put in such a way that they understand what is for them, and do not think that they accidentally left it?

Many recommend leaving more time for duty free when returning home. Is it worth spending time shopping at the airport?

Necessarily! Dutik is cool on the road! Expensive alcohol is much cheaper. Prices for perfume are high, but the quality is good. All in all, definitely worth a visit.

That's right, the Dutik at the entrance is alcohol-cigarette. Come in, buy something and get Dx for change. If you don’t need Dx right away, you can pass by, everything is right there according to the situation, I always change a few dollars right away, decide for yourself. On the way back, the dutik is large, you will be brought to the airport taking into account this, so spend time and money there.

Yes, there can be no singed perfume and alcohol there. Yes, and, I repeat, they bring it earlier so that you can stock up there.

Dutik is really cool there, but this airport is so agro-friendly that I have so far run through all the services on departure - I managed to grab only a pack of sweets in duty-free, it was terribly short of time. It's good that I bought a perfume in Boryspil. So, in order to gracefully wander through the duty free at the Dubai airport, you need to hurry very much: for example, manage to jump first at check-in and so on.
