Dubai City Join-In Tour
Pick up and return to the hotel was perfect. Our guide, Habib, was extremely knowledgable about the sites of Dubai which helped when we wanted to visit sites on our own. We stopped several times for photo shoots including Jumeirah beach. We weren't rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy the stops, including a paddle in the sea 😁

Evening Desert Safari Tour with BBQ Dinner: Dune Bashing, Camel Riding & More
The most common is the so-called Dubai Safari or Jeep Safari. This tour takes place in the afternoon. Until the heat disappeared behind the cover of night, spacious, air-conditioned, specially equipped off-road vehicles took us to the picturesque and mysterious desert, where, before sunset, the virtuoso masters of bends on the dunes gave us fantastic sensations, conquering majestic ridges in shaving throws. At times, what is happening seems incredible, since, most likely, this can be seen on screens in fantastic action games. Watching the sunset on the Arabian hills is truly a magnificent performance!

Dubai Marina Luxury Cruise
Reasonable price, beautiful scene, good food and drink. Our group was a bit late because we did not know the way and the parking information was not clear on the ticket. Get the battle run like the enemy. So the train departed about 10 minutes late. Knowing that bothering guests on the train - also blamed too much. But being the Captain smiling and standing at the jetty picked up and taken to the deck, so he was warm. Thanks a lot for a very nice trip. Great Dubai.

Dubai Helicopter Tour
I liked the flight very much. Let it be only 12 minutes, but that was enough. First, they gave instructions, weighed each passenger, and handed out life jackets. Then we went to the helicopter, sat down and flew. There were 5 passengers and a pilot in the cockpit. They put headphones on everyone. They were allowed to shoot on the phone, provided that the phone was switched to airplane mode. Take all the beauty out of Dubai. Skyscrapers, palm jumeirah, beaches along the coast - everything was visible at a glance. I recommend to everyone

Ski Dubai
everything went great. took "premium Snow" for 7500 rubles per person (on the website Sky Dubai-10000). skis with good edges, boots dry and clean, clothes are vacuum packed. after registration at the entrance, they give out a wristband. the time when to visit the penguins is written on the bracelet (we were at the ticket office at 10.20, the penguins were recorded for us at 15.30, but since we left at 15.00, we were allowed through at 13.30 with another group). after the checkout on the left, you get gloves that you will leave behind, and hand warmers. then go to the distribution of clothes and skis. name your height, weight, foot size, level of skiing, length of skis. then you go to be transferred (if you put on ammunition on the clothes in which you arrived, you can transfer in the common room, if you completely change your clothes, then you can go to the toilet, there are also booths where you can leave things). our boxes were turned on for the whole day. then go to the slope, after taking sticks, immediately after the escalator, before going out on the snow. Our package included an unlimited number of chairlift lifts, but there are also two drag lifts. the slopes are short, but in general, for a one-time visit at plus 35 on the street, they are excellent, there were practically no queues (because it was Tuesday). We rode for a couple of hours, then went on skis and boots, took warm boots and went to a meeting with the penguins, went through a briefing, stroked, took pictures (only with a photographer, the cheapest photo is 2500 rubles). then the rest of the entertainment: tubing, sorg, sledges. it took a long time to choose the photos which we will print. All the photos were taken of the penguins. in other places you can take pictures yourself, then you took only 2 photos included in the premium package. How to pick up a photo and finish your visit, be sure to go to the restaurant nouf 28. lunch is included in the package. we took pasta and red fish. the dishes are delicious and great. in general, everything is at a decent level. you can spend the whole day, we met at 4, 5 hours, tk. then we went to the oceanarium.
