What can disappoint a trip to Dubai, if you have not been there?

If earlier labor migrants rushed to the United States or Europe, today many are much more interested in the direction of the United Arab Emirates. And most of all, it attracts Dubai with the emirate of the same name, which combines favorable conditions for doing business, the highest standard of living and year-round access to beach holidays.

High-class specialists receive here not only excellent wages, but also service housing, a car, and insurance. Businessmen have benefits that allow them to do business with greater benefit for themselves.



Despite many migrants, Dubai remains one of the safest cities in the world. This is achieved due to the many police officers who patrol the city around the clock. The UAE has very severe penalties for anyone who violates the law.

And yet, after visiting Dubai, there are dissatisfied people who unexpectedly face unpleasant disadvantages when traveling. And today's edition. "Site" I would like to hear from a tourist who was disappointed with her trip to Dubai.



GettyImages City Dubai Tour to the Emirates I bought at a furious discount 2 days before departure. It didn’t matter where to fly, as long as it was cheaper. I had no idea it was so hot there. At the end of August the temperature is 45 degrees! The water is so hot that even entering is unpleasant, it is not refreshing at all.”

When we decided to walk around the city, we bought 3 bottles of water in an hour and a half. Then I understood why summer trips here are cheaper than at any other time of the year, says Alla.



GettyImages: The second disappointment is alcohol. At first, you think “all inclusive.” And in fact, it turns out that at the hotel you can only take soda, tea, coffee or juice. It turns out that in the UAE everything is strictly with alcohol, which also applies to tourists.”

“However, in the Emirate of Ras al-Khaimah, alcohol is more loyal. At least in hotels, such drinks are available to tourists. Moreover, we are talking about high-quality foreign alcohol, since alcohol is not produced in the UAE. Such things, the woman resents.



GettyImages: We wanted something extreme, so I wanted to go on a jeep safari in the desert. The street agency offered an option for $ 10 with 30-minute rides on the jeep, and then spend a couple of hours in the oasis – dinner and contemplate various dance-acrobatic performances.

However, at the hotel, the guide offered a better option, where for $ 30 you could ride for 1.5 hours. Wanting adventure, of course, I chose the second option for thirty. It turned out that I sold the first for the price of the second. We were given a half-hour ride, then fed bad food, and then forced to watch some aging lady’s belly dance.



But if this price was more or less adequate, then visiting ultra-modern water parks and amusement parks had to be abandoned. A $100 excursion?! Are you serious? We only had to look outside.”

Expats in Dubai “The last minus will note a lot of people.” If before the trip I thought that only the rich live in Dubai, now I don’t think so anymore. It's just thousands of poor people coming from the nearest poor countries like India or Pakistan. In the same unbearable heat, they work on construction sites, work in hotels. In general, they do all the rough work.”

“Even on the fenced beach of our hotel, they could not escape. Through the fence, these overtanned workers stared at tourists in swimsuits all day long. And on arrival, when it was some day off, these crowds roamed around the city, as a result, on the first day we could not see almost anything.



GettyImages: If there were only rich people in Dubai, who would do all the dirty work? In any case, there really are disadvantages. Therefore, before a trip to this amazing land, you should consider them so as not to be disappointed. Still. Best time to travel In the UAE, experts consider the time period from mid-November to mid-March.
