Thanks to the travel agency HAPPY COLUMBUS for a chic vacation in the UAE

For the first time I want to write a review, because I simply cannot help but thank the tour operator HAPPY COLUMBUS for a chic vacation in the UAE. I'll start from the very beginning of our preparation for the holiday. The site was very interested in rather small prices from a travel agency for a trip to the Emirates. Having called the company, we were offered a fairly large number of hotels in different regions of the Emirates and at different prices. Prior to that, we visited a large number of countries with a beach holiday and the Emirates, as a beach holiday, they practically did not consider - especially since many of my girlfriends fly there for shopping. We read a lot of reviews about the Emirates, completely confused in their regions, called the company back and specifically said that we want a beach, excursions, and a lot of impressions. Three hours passed, Julia called me back from the travel agency and offered a last-minute tour to HILTON RAS AL KHAIMAH HOTEL 5 * at a very low price, which confused us - we did not consider last-minute tours before. But Julia explained that it was necessary to decide very quickly, since the tour was last-minute, and therefore such a small price, and fully described the hotel. According to the description, it was very suitable for us, although it was annoying that the hotel was not on the first line and you had to go to the Persian Gulf by hotel bus. In short, having phoned friends, we somehow quickly assembled a campaign of ten people on such a budget and after 6 days we were at the airport. Departure from Boryspil without delay by Dubai Airlines. I want to warn you right away that on board they feed for money and are not very tasty. Bringing your food on the plane is elementary, which some of our friends did than saved us when drinking drinks taken together in DUTY FREE (of course, on the sly) Fly 4.5 hours, landing, meeting, eye scan - everything went pretty normal without any problems, although had to wait a bit for a transfer for 4 people. The hotel immediately made an excellent impression, everyone was heading for a budget hotel with such an infrastructure, but then one immediately felt the Arab luxury - there are gorgeous greenery around the hotel with a fountain, on the right side against the backdrop of the bay with yachts, two huge skyscrapers, a pool overlooking the bay. very spacious: a huge bed, plasma, a sofa, armchairs and a high chair, a desk. There is everything you need - a refrigerator, a kettle, coffee, cream, water (two bottles were brought every day - you need to take more from the cleaner in the morning without problems) The beginning of the holiday made a huge impression, which continued already in the night pool with all the supplies from DUTY FREE .

Buffet breakfast - there is almost everything, it's very hard to stay hungry. Breakfast from 7 to 11.00, the bus to the sea runs a little late from 9.00 and every hour. The ride is about 7 minutes, the bus is air-conditioned, very comfortable and fast. HILTON RAS AL KHAIMAH RESORT & SPA is a fairy tale… I can't say that we are very easily surprised, especially after last year's French Polynesia, but this hotel is one of the few hotels that will be remembered for a long time. Two-story Arabic-style villas are located along the bay, decorated in rich Arabic style. The rooms are spacious, cool, with a huge beautiful terrace ten meters from the beach with their sun loungers (we met Muscovites, they made us a tour of "their possessions" Clean white sand beach. There were always enough sunbeds. Beautiful hotel area with lots of greenery, swimming pools, lawns, etc. In short, there is no end to the work for lovers of photography. Residents of the city HILTON can use all the services of HILTON & SPA, and it didn’t bother us more than once that we seemed to be visiting. The service is excellent, there is a bar with food and alcoholic drinks, you can pay extra and eat all inclusive, but I would not advise.There are a huge number of places in Ras Al Khaimah where you can have a great meal.Gold fork fish restaurant - fresh fish of all kinds, from katrans to shrimp, mussels, etc. at very affordable prices In Kyiv, you can’t sit in a good fish restaurant for that kind of money - somewhere around 15-20 USD per person. sky, japanese, maracan, all sorts of different at very low prices. Also in Maran Mullah there is a large supermarket at prices much lower than in Ukraine .... And another very IMPORTANT information for lovers of a "fun" holiday - there is alcohol in Ras Al-Kheim !!! at prices lower than in Ukraine. This type of wholesale warehouse is called Power House, any taxi driver for 15 dirhams will take you back and forth to the hotel (just don’t let go of a taxi - it’s hard to catch a car from there later)

We took a large number of excursions, but I will not write about them on the Internet. An interesting attraction is also offered - diving with sharks. One of our diving friends was very impressed. The cost of a 20-minute dive for a certified diver is 625 dirhams (about $170), for a beginner with an instructor - 825 dirhams (about $225). But according to the enthusiasm of our friends, it’s worth it ... I personally didn’t take the risk. I think the most expensive hotel Burj Al Arab is worth a look, and of course the singing fountains, although I even saw it in other countries more beautiful. There was sorely not enough time for shopping, so Decided not to bother with it...

In general, the rest was a 100% success, to be honest, we did not even expect such impressions from such a budget trip. The only negative is very little time for this country - you need at least ten days. Once again, we all want - (Irina, Igor, Alyonushka, Sergey, etc. - the HAPPY COLUMBUS tour operator will understand who it is) to express HUGE THANKS for a wonderful vacation. Now we are planning for the autumn from them to Vietnam, who wants to join.
