In general, everything was excellent))).
Fly Dubai flight - there was a flight delay for 1 hour, but the flight itself, the plane was new, the stewardess spoke 6 languages, the impressions are very favorable.
We got into a two-hour queue at the Dubai airport, well, no luck, then transfer to the hotel, we met great guys in the bus and immediately drank to the acquaintance bought in Dutik. Now tell me, alcoholics and in general they don’t drink or smoke in the UAE ...So we don’t drink, but we had a rest, you can drink in the UAE, but be careful))). You can drink both on the bus and in the room, they also added Pepsi-rum to the bottle, it turned out a cocktail and walked with it in the evening. About smoking, there are designated places, but I saw how both Arabs and Pakistanis smoked on the beach and in the Dubai mega-mall and on the Sharjah waterfront, and oh horror - a woman in an abai. )))

A little distracted, in principle, I wanted to write about the hotel. When I took a cheap tour, I understood where I was going, I looked at the pictures.
The hotel was the same as in the photo.

Of the not very pleasing moments, a small hall, the room is also small, water from the shower leaks onto the floor (incorrect cabin design), the safe did not work, it seems to be cleaned, but the shower tray is not washed, traces of moldiness are visible. There is no view from the hotel, there is a car market and a road nearby.

Of the benefits - responsive staff who speak Russian, they understand))), even at the reception there was a Russian-speaking employee. Free Wi-Fi in the lobby, if you can't get in, ask at the reception for help. Cleaning every day, hot water around the clock, tea, coffee, sugar in the room. Shampoo and soap are available in dispensers. Water 2 bottles, put only on the first day, then you need to buy yourself. What is convenient is a 15-minute walk to the right - the city center of Sharjah, i. e. a shopping center where everything is inexpensive. And the shops next to the hotel in 5 minutes walk are the cheapest, the prices were compared in other places in Sharjah and in Dubai.
They take you to the beach for free at 8.9, 10 am and take you back at the set time. A taxi is also not expensive to get to the beach - 25-30 UAH (15 dirhams). Towels can be taken at the reception on bail, but we bought them in the Gif Market for 10 dirhams (20 UAH).
We only took breakfast. What can I say - a very simple breakfast, almost the same every time. You will not leave hungry, but I do not advise a gourmet. There were families with children, in my opinion, with children, just not here, with children, a beach hotel is needed, not a city one.
We didn’t sit at the hotel, in the morning we went to the beach, then went to the center, dined at the Golden Fork, then showered in the hotel, changed clothes and went to the sights of Sharjah or on excursions. Arrived at 12:00 or 13:00 at night.

I won’t write much about excursions, I’ll say that I didn’t like the safari, but the trip to Abu Dhabi, the Sheikh Zayed Mosque is just super. And an overview of Dubai and climbing the Burj Khalifa is also cool. We also traveled on our own to Dubai, by metro, to Nasser Square, Deira City Center, to the Mega Mall.
Good things are not cheaper than ours, they are sold in malls, and there is china in cheap supermarkets - Gift-market, Day to Day, where you can buy souvenirs.
In general, so that there are no illusions, if you go to this hotel, then take a ticket at the lowest possible price, and the rest can be spent on excursions. But, if it's not important to save 500-600 dollars, then it's better to go to the beach 4-ku, but keep in mind that prices near beach hotels are more expensive.
I specially took a picture of the views from the hotel, who are interested, but we didn’t sit in it, but admired Sharjah at night, which I wish you too))).
