Good evening, everyone!We had a rest from 02.11.2024-08.11.2024 in this wonderful hotel. The hotel is modern and new, the staff is friendly, the room is cool (we took the usual 29sq m),in the room: air conditioning,safe,hair dryer,iron and ironing board,slippers,shower gel,shampoo,conditioner and freaky body lotion,brushes and toothpastes,soap, towels.Body and hair washing products are not disposable, but large vials glued to the wall.The room has a double bed with a medium-hard mattress.The cabinet is large, the sockets are normal, there are many USB inputs.On the shelf is a compliment from the hotel (replenished every day) 2 bottles of water,coffee and tea bags, milk.Teapot, glasses,cups and saucers, 3 types of sugar. We are on the 16th floor with a view of the neighboring hotel, it glows beautifully at night.The neighbors have never been heard of.There is no noise and music, calmly.They clean it every day .There are no balconies, things can be dried in the bathroom or on the window. There are 2 Russian girls at the reception.The rest of the staff speaks English. The time difference from Moscow is + an hour. Breakfast from 6.30-10.30 on the 2nd floor.The buffet is the same every day, but the choice is great.Sliced cheese and ham,fish,bacon,tortillas with assorted fillings,a lot of sweet pastries,interesting fried dishes,3 types of yoghurts, different cereals,breakfast cereals,eggs and dishes from them,pancakes and waffles,all kinds of toppings,bread,fruit: dragon fruit,watermelon,pineapple,melon and grapes.Drinks include lemonade, 2 types of juices, milkshake,smoothies, water, milk,tea and coffee.In general, you will not leave hungry. Transfer to the beach 2 times a day, sign up for a meeting in advance.Buses arrive at 9 and 10 and pick you up after 3 hours.When traveling at the reception, you give the card from the room and you are given a towel, 2 guests-2 towels. The journey takes 10-15 minutes.The bus is not big, but there are a lot of places inside. Umbrella beach Has showers, toilets, cafes.A beautiful photo zone .Palm trees, a pickup truck, hay, a swing and the sea. You go down the stairs to the beach itself and there is only sand.There are no sun beds and no shade either.So take care of the sunbed and the umbrella.The sand is very hot, I advise you to wear rubber flip-flops.The water is fresh milk and transparent.Swimming is a pleasure. The hotel has a gym on the 3rd floor, a swimming pool with sun beds for children and adults and changing rooms (including a hammam and sauna for 2-3 people). There is a huge Lulu supermarket and an exchange office across the street from the hotel.There is a lot of ready-made food in it, the selection is replenished after 12 o'clock local time.If you come in the evening, there will be a poorer choice of products. A set of sushi and rolls 40 pcs is very tasty 65 dirhams,salads are different from 12-25 dirhams (but the portions are large),sandwiches are different delicious from 5-10 dirhams, original soda set of 6 pcs -10 dirhams,water 5L-5 dirhams,there are different sweets, in general, there are actually a lot of products there.There is no Dubai chocolate.There is a counter at the entrance and there is supposedly Dubai chocolate at 70 and 85 dirhams, but this is a fake.In Lulu, a similar 16.5 costs.There are cafes and clothing stores inside.On the 2nd floor, you can find dresses made of natural materials, free for 30 -35 dirhams. Cellular communication.You will be given a SIM card at the airport for free.It is valid for a day but only on social networks.You can connect roaming from your operator, it will not turn on automatically.You need to go to settings-mobile operator and select the Du network.Voila and everything works. You can't call on a social network like WhatsApp and telegrams!!! Shopping malls: Fujairah Mall),Fujairah City Center, there are McDucks,KFC, Burger King (portions are huge just).Lunch at the McDuck cost 50 dirhams (big mac,big cola and big potatoes, we don't have such sizes., sauce and ice cream).Cafes and shops 24 hours at every step.But we didn't eat there.You can catch a taxi at every corner,5 dirhams boarding and the rest on the counter.But usually within 11-20 dirhams in the city. There is an airport nearby, but there are no flights from Russia there.And I didn't see or hear any noise from the plane at all. A 15-minute walk away is a beautiful mosque and a park around it.But the mosque is closed to tourists.
Guided tours are expensive. But at the entrance to the hotel, a local guide is sitting in the corner on the right.His prices are 2p cheaper, he speaks Russian.If he is not there, you can write to him on the phone via whatsapp. Dubai sightseeing 55$ per person.
Souvenirs can be bought at the top 10 store.But the choice is meager.The street behind the mosque, you can see on the map.This is not Turkey and Egypt, where souvenirs and various little things are at every turn-there is nothing at all here.Along the same street at the very end there is an interesting place-Fort Fujairah.The fortress and buildings that remained from 1500, they were slightly restored, but it's still worth a look.
A 50-minute walk along the highway is a bus station with departure to Dubai. Alcohol is sold in Bisma stores (15 minutes from the beach).They say there is a fine wine of 1.5 liters. With crossings and sidewalks it is very bad here, they are found but very few.If you go from the hotel to the mosque, then there is probably one underpass for the whole city.Because you can't cross this 8-lane road. There are markets running parallel to the beach across the street.Things and fishy.You can buy fish and order it to be cooked there right away. When choosing a trip here, I definitely advise you, but you need to take a tour package with a transfer.Because it's far and expensive to get there.The transfer is not a group one, a car meets you from the airport and you eat alone, and do not wait for all tourists to be taken to other hotels, we took a jeep safari from the excursions.It takes more than an hour to get from the hotel to the place.It's worth seeing.It's not scary, a jeep tour of the sands in a closed car.Camel riding,photo shoot, hookah,henna tattoo,buffet with hot dishes of chicken, lamb, fish and beef.Unlimited soft drinks and at the end a man's dance in a skirt, belly dance and a fire show. It will be interesting for children in general.
The climate here is dry and subtropical, but it is easier to tolerate than in other emirates.
A headdress is required, the sun is merciless.
Sunscreen from 50spf and after-sun cream.
Pharmacies and parikhmakhers are at every turn.
There are a lot of mosques.
There are few locals, mostly tourists and visitors from other countries who work here.
We have never seen the locals go out for a walk or walk their dogs or walk with their children.It's a secret for us.There are a lot of cars .
There are skyscrapers too.Palm trees are everywhere.
