Excursions 2012, what not to miss;)
Good afternoon! We are going to Dubai in June. Tell me which excursions are worth visiting on your own (by subway or taxi), and which ones you can buy from a tour operator at the hotel. Who recently traveled, if it's not difficult to indicate the approximate prices. Thank you!

You can:
1. See and ride the subway without a driver, see the city from the car, driving overhead through the city;
2. Drive to the Dubai Mall, go up to the observation deck of the tallest building Burj Khalifa and see Dubai at a glance 100 AED if you buy in advance, 400 per viewing day;
3. Watch the fountain show there for free;
4. The stunning beauty of the mosque, the tomb of Sheikh Zayed in Abu Dhabi, without an excursion if you want to visit, from the bass station in Dubai you will take an air-conditioned bus to Abu Dhabi bass station, and a little back you will return by taxi.
From excursions bought I recommend:
1. Desert safari about $40;
2. I take a Moroccan bath for about $100;
3. Abu Dhabi is informative, interesting and includes the aforementioned gallop mosque;
4. Burj Dubai or Parus hotel with or without dinner.

Dubai mall and Khalifa and fountains are all in 1 place, you go by metro. Abu Dhabi tour with dinner, cost about $ 50 ... In Dubai, you will relax on the beaches, you will be approached by Arabian Knights or Aladdin travel agencies, take them safely. It makes no sense to take an overview of Dubai according to my descriptions above, it made sense until there was a metro for other emirates, 2/3 of the tour will sell you goods, better on your own, more interesting, go for it, ask for specifics.

Be prepared, in June +40 with high humidity. But! Everything is air-conditioned there, right down to the bus stops. Less outdoors, and shops, hotels, transport, metro, taxis are cooled.

Thanks for the answer! Alpusechka, what did you include in the tour of the Parus hotel? Overview of the hotel in the lobby, or driven around the hotel? And the question about getting on the subway - does each person need to buy a card or can two people use one card at the same time? (pay with one card for travel for two).

As was the case in 2008 (could change). You will see "common areas": halls, lobbies, toilets on the 1st floor, fountains between the lobby and the 2nd floor, a side aquarium and fountains on the 2nd floor + an elevator ride with entry into the dressing rooms of different floors. We had an excursion with dinner at the Al Ivan restaurant on the 2nd floor. You can take pictures of everything and everywhere, except for the buffet, drinks will be charged. Dinner was amazingly plentiful and varied, ranging from appetizers, salads, sushi, seafood, lobster, meat, fish, pastries, side dishes, cheeses, ending with sweets, camel milk and desserts on it ... The cost was about 3.5 thousand rubles for our money. It could change, ask the tour operators on the spot. Regarding the passage with one card, they didn’t try it, I can’t tell. Theoretically, rather, no, there are turnstiles that let you through when you apply the card, but I don’t approve.

I don't know in which part of the city you will live. You can get off at some station not far from the Creek. Ask for a boat (abra) there. And on this boat for 1 dirham to cross to the other side. Such a boat trip turns out. On the Bur Dubai side, boats stop not far from the Dubai Museum. Entrance 3 dirhams.

The most modern skyscraper area. Then it will probably be interesting for you to go to the Deira region. Gold market, spice market. See a completely different Dubai.
Yes. Atlantis is on a palm tree. There is also a monorail that runs over the entire palm tree.

Who recently traveled, if not difficult, indicate the approximate prices.
------
Was in the second half of March this year.
Prices:
1. Excursion to the tallest building in the world - 105 dirhams (pre-ordered online), it's about 28-29 dollars.
2. Excursion to "Sail" with breakfast - 120 dollars.
3. Safari in the desert - 160 dirhams (about 43 dollars).
4.Aquarium in "Dubai Mall" - 100 dirhams (the most complete package, this is the entrance to the aquarium in and to the zoo of the underwater world + a gift from the aquarium is also included). In short, divide the dirhams by 3.65-3.66 to get the price in dollars.
5.Aquarium in "Atlantis" - 100 dirhams (minimum package, without feeding the fish and entering the backstage - came late).
6. "Sky Dubai" - 170 dirhams (minimum package + locker for things).
and which ones to buy from the tour operator in the hotel
------
Do not buy in TO, but buy in street agencies - it will be cheaper.

http://www.turpravda.com/forum/topic.php?id=85807 - this is my branch on the forum, there I made a plan (from 30 points, then the list grew to 45 points) what to see in Dubai .
And Abu Dhabi was traveling on her own, she spent more than 2 hours in the Sheikh Zayed Mosque (it is unlikely that they will drive so much there during an organized excursion), "ate" her "full". I didn’t “pass” some of the items that are on an organized excursion to the capital (for example, a national restaurant and a boat ride), but the main purpose of the trip was precisely the mosque, and I wanted to return in advance in order to have time to see Dubai according to the plan (if go on a group tour to Abu Dhabi - return around midnight).

Everything was the same with me in March of this year, nothing has changed. I will add one more thing: local mall. On average, a stay in Parus lasts about 2 hours (including breakfast), but I stole another plus 40 minutes))), my escort, who carried out the transfer "my hotel - Parus" and "Parus" - my hotel "patiently followed me and even took a picture)))

A little closer is the metro station "Internet City", a taxi from there to "Atlantis" cost me 25 dirhams.
Mimila, hotel Atlantis - is it "washed" islands in the form of palm leaves?
------
"Atlantis" is located at the farthest point from the "mainland" point of the Palm Jumeirah.

And, with your permission, a few clarifications:
1) "Sail" is now officially called not "Burj Dubai", but "Burj Al Arab", this is not critical at all, but all the same, in the local language it is like "... Al Arab" (all the more, no one is talking about the name " Sail "does not even think)
2) I asked the locals again - the correct name of the city is still “Dubai”, and not “Dubai”, that is, “we are going to Dubai”, and not “Dubai”, “we are resting in Dubai”, and not “Dubai”. It's like "Moscow", and not "Moscow" or "Kyiv", but not "Kiev", in "Kiev" and so on. Again - not critical, but it's better to show off the correctness on the spot;)

Arabian Knights or Aladdin travel agencies will come to you, take them safely
------
I am very disappointed with them, I will write more in the report. It turns out that in addition to the widely advertised (and, apparently, spoiled by this) "Arabian Knights" and "Aladdin", there are a lot of decent street agencies in Dubai.

------------------------------------
I will clarify: The hotel is called in the common people "Sail"
officially originally always called "Buj al Arab". Not to be confused with Burj Dubai - the tallest building, as it was called when it was built. The official name "Burj Khalifa" was given to it by the Sheikh of Dubai Mohammed bin Rashed Al Maktoum during the grand opening.

By the way, I tried to explain to the locals that the "Burj Al Arab" is called "Sail" in our common people. I forgot how the word "sail" is in English, damn it :)))))) I was pissed off, I said: "Well, the upper part of the boat, where the wind blows, so that the boat goes faster" :))) That's hilarious :)))))) ) I remember - and laugh!

Here, Oksana, you got sick UAE. I have been chronically ill for 6 years now, and on my whole head, and I am not going to recover!!! Our tourist jargon in relation to the UAE is "Sail" and "Engines" in Sharjah ... We have the right, we drive.

Yes! You are absolutely right! After the trip, I have already slightly returned to the previous rhythm of life, and the Carpathian trip took me a bit away from the Emirati mood - but now ... I read the questions and answers ... it covers again ... :)))

Our safari was $45, I took it from the agency at the hotel. I never took it from Ar.nights and Aladin, because. all 5 years rested in Sharjah, took in hotels. A feature of the UAE is that in every, even a tiny hotel, there is a representative of a local travel agency. you don't have to go anywhere. And I'm for Dubai - "he" and not they-Dubai. Agree!!!

Excuse me, plz, the prices, as I understand it, are per person, but how are things with children? In my case, there are two of them (9 and 6 years old), is it worth it with all these Excursions and aquariums to plus for them, or each adult can take at least one child. Those. Husband and wife pay for 2, but each take with him and the child ? Thank you
Z.s. Are children allowed on the safari? :-)

Narcolog, in the price of excursions, the tour operator indicates the price for an adult and a child. As a rule, it is twice as small.
