A Russian who visited the UAE revealed common mistakes when buying a tour Russian news EN
A Russian tourist who visited the emirate of Ajman revealed common mistakes when buying a tour in an Arab country, which he himself made. Review of the holiday shared with the portal “Tourism Subtleties”.
The traveler specified that a week for two with a flight and accommodation in a four-star hotel on the first line cost him 80 thousand rubles for two. According to him, he only paid for breakfast, as he believed that the rest of the time would be spent on excursions, but later admitted that he was mistaken. So, food in the city or in the UAE supermarket came out higher, the more expensive the hotel.
“There is very little all inclusive. In our hotels, you could buy or dine for 110 dirhams (about 2.2 rubles), and this is cheaper than in the restaurants of the city. Do not repeat our mistakes, you need to fly to the UAE for at least breakfast and dinner (well, or lunch, considering how much time you spend on the beach and walking). And the fact that our vacation has turned into a number of trips to the supermarket is the main disadvantage, which we are to blame only ourselves, ”added the Russian.
Also, the tourist was observed to go to breakfast no later than 8:30, since later there were queues of vacationers near the hot and coffee machines. In addition, the man recalled that visiting excursions often requires a vaccination certificate, although the rules allow you to fly with a negative PCR test.

“Also, keep in mind that when visiting mosques, it’s better to wear closed clothes, otherwise you (girls) will buy a special cape with a hood for 45 dirhams,” the Russian warned his compatriots against a common mistake.
In addition, a man should not take excursions in a hotel guide and agencies. In his opinion, it is best to find an offer on the Internet with “normal” prices and get all the air conditions.
“Also, you shouldn’t change money in cafes and bars (like Vasya’s, Skazka, Moscow cafes) where our compatriots and other representatives of the CIS countries work, they can cheat. He doesn’t say that it’s bad everywhere, but for the first time we cheated by 100 dollars (7.6 rubles). Why change money at all, if everything is profitable on the card. Different banking and payment systems have different offers, discounts, bonuses,” the passenger said.
Earlier in December, a Russian woman who saved on vacation in the UAE also listed her mistakes when buying a tour. According to the tourist, the main disappointment in the rest, which did not compensate for the excellent service and service at the hotel, was oily oil stains on the water, visible from the shores.
