Отдых-шопинг в Эмиратах Holiday shopping in the Emirates

About the main thing - this hotel is actually 2 stars, and is positioned as 3 by all travel agencies! But if you don’t know, but judge by the rooms, service, free internet, a gym, etc. , then this is the Turkish “four” In addition to animation, it is not there anywhere. the contingent is only Russians and the former USSR, and on weekends and holidays, families of Arabs. About the food, enough of everything, but a lot of spicy. And for dessert - OH HORROR! - all 10 days there are only three components: cherry jelly, sometimes mousse, sometimes biscuit and always fruit salad. Compared to the pirvy sweet table of other hotels, it's a disaster! But you won't get fat.
They take you to the beach of another Sharjah Beach hotel for 40 dirhams per person. The road is 15 minutes, but the beach there is small and there may not be enough sunbeds. We went 1 time and then walked 10 minutes. walk from our hotel to the city or wild. There are very few locals there, there are no sunbeds, but there are two concrete structures-canopies 3 * 3 meters, you can hide from the sun. The sand is white and fine, but interspersed with gobies, plugs, etc. But it didn’t bother us, because the water is awesomely warm and clean and we don’t want to leave it. And since everyone from our hotel gathered on this beach (it’s small for 70 people), it wasn’t so boring. While everyone shares their impressions of the evening spent the night before, exchange information about perfect or failed shopping, groups will cooperate on a trip for the upcoming evening (it takes 40 minutes to get to Dubai if there are no traffic jams, the price is from 60 to 100 dirhams, if you are alone or two every day to go expensive). Free transfer is available only to the shopping centers of Sharjah. About shopping: telephones, photo, television and video equipment as well as in Moscow. and in large shopping centers even more expensive. Cheaper - gold, watches, Italian glasses, bags. Everyone else bought fur coats. But not for nothing from 1.5 thousand dollars.
Let's go back to the hotel. Summary: If you have a task to relax and shop and at the same time save money, then you are here. In Dubai with beaches it’s really bad at 7 in the morning you are taken there at 12 back, and hotels are more expensive. on foot (by taxi) to local shops, by the way, there is also something to shop around. About alcohol - not for sale, but they drank what they brought with them at the hotel and in restaurants in Dubai.

I am writing a review for the first time, so I don’t know if it is possible to voice such numbers, but when they write the price-quality corresponds, I want to be more specific. Specifically, we are in the Verona hotel for 10 days for two half board-62000r
In the hotel where they were taken to the beach, such a ticket cost 90.000 rubles. By the way, you can come to the hotel whenever you want to come for lunch or dinner, paying 45 dirhams per person for a buffet. And next to the hotel there is a supermarket where you can find everything and delicious "live" juices 10 dirhams for 2 liters, across the road there are grilled chickens (20 dirhams ). I am already writing about trifles. Have a good holiday everyone!! ! I will answer questions.
