The three of us stayed at this hotel (mom, dad, son) in November 2025, room (villa) 901. On the left is the pool and slightly behind the entrance to the sauna with a hammam, on the right is a lawn where you can gently kick (kick) the ball, directly opposite is the exit to the embankment and the kayak rental station. For a couple of days there was a congress of schoolchildren (summer camp) on rowing training. The tug of war, the songs, all the activity took place in front of the room, it was funny. The room is huge, ~65-70m2! 2 large rooms, unfortunately the interior door does not lock with a key (I asked at the reception). A large bed and a sofa bed, a large table, 2 TVs with local channels (the smartphone does not connect, I tried, I found out), a bathroom with a shower, a kitchen with a refrigerator, a washing machine (very useful), a microwave, an electric stove, a minimum set of dishes, etc. The clothes dryer was asked at the reception. Yes, there have been small cockroaches in the kitchen at night (it is advisable to be careful not to crumble), a couple of times we saw a small gecko on the ceiling. The staff is friendly and helpful, communicating in English. Breakfast and dinner on the ground floor of the neighboring hotel. We left 15aed for room cleaning every day and we always had everything clean, tidy, all shampoos and so on with plenty of stock. At 9 o'clock there is a bus to the beautiful Al Khan beach. Back at 13. We used to take a taxi more often, 15-20 aed in one direction. If you walk around, there is a market with cheap perfumes, clothes and quite expensive jewelry (bryuliks, tanzanites are artificial, and the prices are natural). There are also a lot of small retail outlets, we took delicious tandoor tortillas, Afghan bread for 20 aed (for 2-3 days), cheese slices and made an analog pizza in the room for a snack during the day. We recommend finding a lulu supermarket, where the normal exchange rate is $3.65. On the 1st floor there is a grocery store, above electronics, clothing and all sorts of stuff. There is a park nearby and the entrance to the island with a butterfly park, we recommend you to visit. City centre sharjah, adidas outlet, etc. can be reached on foot or by taxi. There is a bus station above the market, 10 aed per person, from where we went to the Al Rashid stadium to watch a football match (tickets are free, free seats). It is cheap to get to dubai with a beautiful view by water transport from the Sharjah museum (oceanarium) station, located within walking distance from al Khan beach, the cost is 15 aed per person. The transport card is working. We took gold, it's more convenient to travel in the subway in the gold car. The station where the al ghubaiba water transport arrives, the metro is nearby. The schedule is in the s'hail app. We used a local mobile phone, used a SIM card issued on arrival and at the operator's vending machine in the shopping center, replenished it with 50 aed (4GB of Internet, calls) for 28 days or wi-fi in the hotel, shopping center, etc. We traveled to dubai a lot and often by water transport, metro, buses, so we immediately purchased 3 gold cards (valid for 5 years) at one of the stations and replenished them with 150 aed each. There are still 30 aed left. It turned out to be significantly cheaper than a taxi, but you need to study the transport schedule. For example, it took 2 hours to get to the miracle garden, a butterfly garden in 2 steps. Google maps to help. By water transport, you can transfer to dubai marina, skirting the palm tree (beautiful views), and back, but this is a full-day trip.
