In just 41 years, you can build a fairy tale... the desert will come to life with beautiful oases and rise with the most extraordinary skyscrapers, magnificent lagoons, breakwaters of extraordinary size....so that you would be amazed and RETURN again and again...
So the trip itself
Number of days : 5 days, 4 nights
Emirate: Sharjah
Hotel: Ariana 4*
ARRIVAL: We arrived at Dubai airport on Friday 30th, on this day it was raining with thunderstorms in the Emirates, we landed a little circled over the airport))) PARTICULARLY NERVOUS read prayers))) My husband and I calmly looked out the window)) beauty is indescribable, everything burns in even lines, as if they are all drawing under the ruler)))) and under the compass))) LIGHTNING sparkled with them and the EMIRATES)
AIRPORT: to say that it is big is to say nothing))) you can hire a small car with your luggage will be delivered faster, tapes like treadmills if your legs are tired, or running with a suitcase in the old proven Ukrainian way)))
MEETING side: from Ukraine they scared us with horror stories that the meeting side could be different, that is, some kind of their home. But the horror stories were not confirmed TEZ TOUR met us and provided the transfer. The main thing is not to miss people with signs. as soon as you leave the building you need to turn your head to the left there and there will be a million people with signs, and if you fly like we are through TEZ TOUR then there will be no problems.
!! ! At the girl on the plane, I saw something that my agent was talking about with some tour operators THE TRUTH, THE COMPANY OF THE MEETING PARTY IS DIFFERENT!! ! The company of the meeting party itself is in its documents (I don’t remember the name) and I didn’t remember the tour operator either... so it’s better immediately ask the agent about WHO WILL MEET YOU, BECAUSE NO ONE WILL BE CARRYING WITH YOU ON ARRIVAL. THAT WOULD NOT THEN RUN ALL OVER THE AIRPORT as some did...
TRANSFER: Well, everything is clear here. Cool bus with air conditioning, drive to the hotel no more than 15 minutes. Very quickly we got to Sharjah. REMEMBERING TURKEY and 3.5 hours to UTOPIA IN ALANYA!!! ! this transfer was lightning fast. . . did not have time to consider.......... everyone has already arrived.
HOTEL: ARIANA HOTEL 4* Sharjah.
PROS: the hotel is VERY conveniently located in the Al Kasbah lagoon, a great place for evening walks along the canal where you can ride an abra boat, a park area. EYE OF THE EMIRATES (Eye of the Emirates) the Ferris wheel, according to ours, is visible directly from the window, the cabins in it are air-conditioned... a miracle. In the evening there are a lot of cafes and attractions, along the waterfront and children's towns and wonderful shops.
HOW TO ORIENTATE: EXIT THE HOTEL TURN YOUR HEAD TO THE RIGHT THE EYE OF THE EMIRATES you will see, move straight towards it. in front of you will be a fancy building in oriental style, it is long. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT A HOTEL, but no, this is a separating wall in which there are cafes and shops on the other side.
NUMBER: we got a room on the 17th floor, knowing the numbers on the Internet, I was scared!! ! THERE IS NO WINDOW IN OUR ROOM!! ! after 3 minutes, my husband found him (something like) small, like in Savdepov's bathroom, so that you understand the size. We reluctantly laid out things ( BUT I could not stand it and went to the reception. POLITELY asked to change the room and without problems and money received a room with one bed and a HUGE window on the 18th floor. A room with a view of the lagoon and the EYE OF THE EMIRATES! ))))
FOOD: this is not TURKEY, I emphasize !! ! who lived in Turkish fives like UTOPIA WORLD will understand me. I can’t say if you will be full, I’ll just list the menu....decide for yourself
WE ONLY HAVE BREAKFASTS It makes no sense to take dinner, you can not return from excursions yet.
BREAKFAST: milk, muesli, egg (boiled, fried), oatmeal porridge, beans, vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers), chopped onions, croissants (confiture for them), Arabic flatbreads for them, sauces, fried sausages, tea, coffee, assorted juices from automatic machines. You can dry yourself a toast or bake a PENCAKE and pour over syrup (VERY TASTY) you just need to go to the machine and press OK for 2 pancakes, it looks like pancakes)
CLEANING OF THE ROOM: every day, toiletries are replenished.
POOL: there is in the middle of the hotel, we were not able to say anything. The LOBBY is very decent, beautiful! Internet is working. Both in the room and in the lobby for free!!!!
ANOTHER MAIN PLUS: the day before departure, a fax is brought to the room when you are in the lobby. The fax contains your number, surname and time. CONVENIENT. IF THE DEPARTURE IS FOR HOURS SO 7 AND YOU WANT ANOTHER SWIMMING THIS DAY, YOU CAN JUST ASK NOT TO CHECK OUT UNTIL 13.30 - 14.00 MAXIMUM - politely!! ! - YOU WILL BE ALLOWED AND WILL NOT TAKE EXTRA PAYMENTS!!! ! after that, you can leave your things near the reception and once again take a walk along the Al Kasbah lagoon, which we did.
TIPS: They don't insist but are very happy.
MINUSES: IMMEDIATELY I WILL SAY THE HOTEL IS NOT FOR THE FASTEST. IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE WHO SEE JOINTS on the wallpaper, or errors in the plaster - YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO HERE. ALL HOTELS ARE BUILT AT A RECORD RATE. . . the quality of interior work suffers. THE ROOM WAS CLEAN, the window opened, which is important... the bedding is white and crisp. ALL TOILET ACCESSORIES. BUT THE HOTEL IS BUDGET.
BUS TO THE BEACH: there is but only one, if you want to be in time, hurry up exactly at 9:00 I UNDERSTAND NOT AT 9:0.9:02 but exactly at 9:00 it leaves. The DRIVER leaves strictly on the clock. So you have to be punctual. Carry to choose from or to the municipal beach 10 minutes. ride free entrance, towels with you, or on the beach of the CARLTON hotel for a fee, sunbeds and towels are included in the price. PICK UP STRICTLY ON TIME 13:00. TAXI LATE.
BUS in DUBAI: remember to be punctual 16:00 to 21:00. BRING to the Deira area near the metro. Then you are the master of your time.
METRO: buy a card for 20 dirhams ($ 5), of which 14 are on your account ($ 3.80), very convenient. All stations are numbered enough to remember the number. At the entrance, fit the card and look at the account, it is convenient to replenish it immediately or when the money runs out.
EXCURSIONS: we have not been on any paid excursions.
ALL BY YOURSELF ON BUSES AND TAXI
WHAT WE CAN SEE:
-ABU DHABI (Sheikh Zayed White Mosque, Ferrari World - the largest indoor park in the world)
- DUBAI (BURJ KHALIFA, Dubai mall, aquarium, water zoo, elite area JUMEIRU, were right at the entrance to the BURJ AL ARAB (SAILBOAT) hotel, took a ride on the metro, evening Dubai)
- FUJAIRAH (KORFAKAN beach, mountains, ocean, university)
- SHARJAH (fountain, Al QASBA lagoon, promenade, EYE OF THE EMIRATES)
EMIRATES is a fairy tale. A SEA OF IMPRESSIONS from the fish curiously swimming up to your feet, the incredible beauty and purity of the water, starfish, skyscrapers, entertainment and the enormous working capacity of the visiting population. FOR US, THIS IS A REST, for them the opportunity to earn a living for their families, for the indigenous people this is an occasion to show that WE ARE A COUNTRY WHICH WAS OUT OF THE WORLD IN 41 YEARS... because the illiterate Arabs who came out of the desert, who can’t write, not count, moved from camels to the most expensive cars in the world.... Arabs whom the country pays for education and medicine anywhere in the world, Arabs who wear white, revere Allah and hide the faces of their women. DEEPLY HONOR THEIR COUNTRY AND ARE PROUD OF IT.
The UAE is a fairy tale that has come true!!!
GO and you won't regret it! GOOD HOLIDAY TO YOU!!! !
