фуджейра, отчет fujairah report

I am a tourist with extensive experience and have been to different parts of the world, I have something to compare with. . . We rested at the Iberotel Miramar Al Aqah Beach Resort 5 * ALL, from December 29.2010 to January 5.2011. The price for a ticket for two is not small - $ 4300, including NG dinner. For that kind of money, you can have a super vacation in Thailand, in Phuket at 5 *, with flights and breakfasts + lunches and dinners in cafes with alcohol. It's about the price. The journey began immediately, at the Kharkov airport : ). The flight was scheduled for 1:00 am, we were at the airport by 11:00 pm, in a great mood and in good company. At about 24-30 we were told that the flight was delayed due to fog, Kharkov did not accept. We had a charter-Donetsk-Kharkov-Dubai. Omitting all our expectations, I will say that we took off only at 5 am. It turned out that at 1-30 the plane was already in Kharkov with people from Donetsk on board and everyone was waiting for us, including the crew all this time. The charter organizer was to blame, no doubt. On the plane there was a fight between the citizens of Donetsk and Kharkov. . . This was another touch to our trip and left an unpleasant aftertaste. Arrived in Dubai. Defended a huge and tight queue for a retinal scan (1.5 hours). Then we went through passport control and customs without delay. The transfer was waiting for about 40 minutes (the receiving party is the company "GRASS"). A taxi was served and we (four adults) were put into the car, where a girl with a child was already sitting. As a result, we, two adults, sat in the trunk on the side seats, along with luggage falling from everywhere, resting our knees and heads. So fun drove two hours to the hotel in Fujairah. Settled quickly. The room is clean, nice, but small. There were no chairs on the balcony, only a table. The pool is clean. The ocean is clean, only on the last day of our vacation some kind of dirt and greenery sailed up, the water temperature is 20-23 degrees. The food is good, varied and tasty. Sweet is awesome. Fresh juices only for breakfast, sour orange and nothing - watermelon. Fruits - watermelon, melon, pineapple, strawberries, cherries, lychees, oranges, apples, grapes. The service staff are Filipinos, the nicest people. At the NG dinner, everything was deliciously cooked, even the mango was. BUT! The holiday was organized on the street, it was cold around the pool, about 16 degrees. And further. . . the kitchen began to be closed after the chiming clock and by one in the morning there was NOTHING to eat, everyone was taken away. We went to our rooms at 1:30. Who wanted to continue the banquet, went to a paid disco : ). NG dinner, by the way, cost 340 bucks per person plus champagne for $100. We got there at 11 pm, they stayed there for 2.5 hours for almost 1600 dollars for four of us. We went to Dubai. Great!!! ! We took not a tour, but a driver with a car for 10 hours. It cost $250 for everything. Excursion by bus - 100 bucks per person. We looked at Dubai, were on the palm islands, in the area of ​ ​ ​ ​ skyscrapers, in the Dubai Mall (I liked the aquarium there, I recommend it, and the fountain show). I especially liked the JEEP SAFARI in the desert. This is real class. Highly recommend to anyone who is not afraid of the extreme. The price is 100 bucks per person, but it's worth it. The only kidok in all this is dinner (not very tasty and in general, it is not clear what it was) and the dance of the "oriental beauty". The girl danced a belly dance VERY beautifully. But this is our girl, Russian. What is exotic, it is not clear. We flew back without incident : ). In general, I liked the rest. Breathing is always good. But I will not go to the UAE again.
