This year, at the May holidays, my girlfriend and I flew to Dubai. All dissolved us, because usually in May is very hot there. But it was quite tolerant.
In the travel agency advised to take closed clothes. Upon arrival, it turned out that the tourist was calm in short shorts and shirts on straps. Locals say that earlier it was painted with clothes, and in the last two years such a relaxation.
I will immediately say that there is nothing to do with lovers of interesting excursions and rich history in Dubai, because the city is new. Nevertheless, there are attractions, the visit of which will impress even the most picky tourist:
Burj Khalifa is the highest building in the world. Tickets are better to take from the tour operator, the price does not greatly differ with the site, but in addition the excursion. On the official site there are tickets for a specific time, there is without temporary binding. The last is quite expensive, it is better to take tickets for a specific time in advance. View of stunning.
After Burj Khalifa, you can see Dubai Foundan, all is nearby. Fountain works from 18.00 to 23.00, performances every half hour. Watching them are inconvenient, photographs, especially since, as a lot of people. It is better to go to Dubai, climb to the second floor, there is a cafe with an open balcony. From there opens a great view. They allow the balcony only when ordering food or hookah, if you take only coffee, leave to sit in the closed zone. Prices for food Middle, Drinks Dear (Cup of Tea Lipton - 250 rubles)
Dubai melt amazes with its scales. Although I, to be honest, disappointed. In the stores of the average price category, the cost of things of interest is 20 more expensive than in Moscow. In the luxury brands we do not dress, so I can not give an adequate assessment. Apple cheap technique is also myth, prices are practically no different from Russian.
Beaches. I was on Al Mamzar, Jumeyr, and Dubai Marina. On the first 2 entrance charge - 50 rubles, and there are parks, but they are about anything. Moreover, in the afternoon there is no walk - hot. At Al Mamzar, muddy water and a lot of jellyfish. On Jumeyr better, there is no jellyfish, but the view spoils the construction. Yes, and the people are too many. In my opinion, the best beach on Dubai Marina. Water is clean, there are few people, free.
In the Dubai Marina area you need to stroll along the embankment. We sat in the evening in one of the cafes overlooking the skyscrapers. Night lights just super!
Dubai miracle garden did not impress me, I think it makes sense to go there only if you travel with children.
