Right from the start: Tour operator Join Up claims 9 days of rest, with a flight to the UAE at 23.15, and these 45 minutes count as one of the 9 "days of rest". Why deceive people? We arrived at the hotel in the morning, check-in at 14.00. We left our things and went for a walk. When we arrived at 12.00, we were offered a check-in, showed our standard and another room with a huge kitchen, living room and one bedroom. They asked for 200 dollars. surcharges, agreed on 100. Never regretted that they changed the number. The food was breakfasts, which absolutely suited us, because in Carrefour, which is located on the ground floor, we bought all sorts of sweets and cooked the most delicious dishes in the room in just 5-10 minutes (we cooked shrimp, fried a wide variety of meats, while in beans, beans, etc. were heated in the microwave) We got a chic gastro tour))) In the kitchen we had a gas stove, a complete set of utensils for cooking, spoons, forks, even a knife and a cutting board. Without denying ourselves anything, we spent about $ 100 on food (we didn’t go to the cafe, it was somehow dumb to eat in Pakistani-Indian fast foods). The hotel was very pleased with the cleanliness and hospitality, the cleaning was of high quality, every day, no complaints. They took a bus to the beach, Al-Khan beach, which brings tourists from many hotels. We went to the free beach behind the Lu-Lu hotel (15 minutes walk), it's cleaner and more beautiful. THERE ARE NO BEACH TOWELS IN THE HOTEL! although the tour operator says there is, so take it with you. Umbrellas can be bought at the Lu-Lu supermarket (5 minutes from the hotel) for 19 dirhams, because there are 3 stationary umbrellas on the beach that cost 20 dirhams per day. Wifi in the hotel is free for everyone!! ! We ordered an excursion to the Orion Tour in Abu Dhabi on the Internet, a chic excursion, the guide Farhad told a lot about the country, very interesting. Sheikh Zayed Mosque is a fairy tale, a must visit. We were also in the aquarium in Sharjah - at 10-10.30 fish feeding, it was also interesting to see. In the evening we walked along the embankment, watched the singing fountains, went to Golden Sook (far away, 5 kilometers one way), there is a wholesale market a little further. Impressions are only positive, very beautiful. There are three mosques around the bay, illuminated in the evening, they look gorgeous. In general, there is where to go for a walk. Very unpleasantly surprised by the extremely "competent" guide Natalia. At the meeting, we told her that we had already bought the tour for $55. , she insistently urged to refuse it, because her excursion (the same) for 80 dollars is much better))) and that they are being driven back without traffic jams, and the rest are in traffic jams. Those who have been to the Emirates at least once know very well that on the road from Dubai to Sharjah EVERY day from 16.00 to 21.00-22.00 is always a traffic jam, but this is not our standing traffic jam, but just the cars go slowly))). I wonder how Natalia was going to jump over this traffic jam? ))) Then we asked about the price of an entrance ticket to the oceanarium, knowing that it costs 25 dirhams. But Natalia again confidently argued that the ticket price was 35 dirhams, we did not argue and went there after all for 25 dirhams. How can you be such an incompetent guide? Do not go to her meeting, wasted time, it is better to book excursions on the Internet, the quality is not worse, but much cheaper. Feel free to go to this hotel, you will not regret
