If you are going, as I see it, to the United Arab Emirates for the first time, then you need to prepare for a voyage of this kind quite significantly, rightly so that you are interested in the issue related to food. The point is that the visited country is completely different from the European ones we are used to, and it is not surprising, because there is a different religion, history, norms and rules of conduct. Among other things, the food system that operates in the hotels of the United Arab Emirates is very different from the usual in our understanding. It is worth paying attention to some aspects in particular, in order to avoid further disappointments and so that later it does not turn out that you have chosen a chic hotel, and there you will be almost starving and your only task will not be to rest, but to look for food and water .

Anyone who has been to Turkey or Egypt and is already accustomed to their all-inclusive system, in general, knows about all the charms and advantages of this system, not from the words of friends, this system in the United Arab Emirates can ruin the entire planned vacation. The whole point is that, for example, in Dubai, such a system does not exist at all, the maximum that you can be offered at the hotel as part of the all-inclusive program is breakfast, lunch and dinner. And even if you still want to stay in hotels with this food system, then living in it will turn out to be prohibitively expensive, that is, in fact, if you compare, it will turn out cheaper to eat every lunch and evening when visiting restaurants, this is overpaying for monotonous food exorbitant prices in the hotel. On beach resort In the United Arab Emirates of Fujairah, you can find some kind of all-inclusive food system. Within the framework of this system, you will be offered something more decent, a standard lunch, breakfast, as well as dinner, in addition, alcohol represented by beer, wine and cocktails will be included in the food system, do not count on any frills, the most primitive cocktails are served. Moreover, for all this so-called splendor, the price will be prohibitively high, whether you are ready to overpay for all this or not, it’s actually your business. Some hotels in the United Arab Emirates have their own food system, which is a priority there. So, for example, at the Iberotel Miramar Al Aqah Beach Resort has its own food system called "Miramar All Inclusive", the hotel is located in the resort of Fujairah, which has already been mentioned above. According to the proposal in this hotel the food system is offered to the tourist quite the same wide choose and a variety of food, as well as drinks, including alcoholic ones, such as: tequila, vodka, sambuca, whiskey, rum, cocktails and just juices and much more. And everything seems good, but there is a significant and main disadvantage, and this is the cost of living in hotels of this kind, it is so high here that all the advantages are crossed out by the high cost and it turns out that the cost of visiting restaurants will justify itself more than the cost of staying in a hotel.

For the most part, and it's no secret to anyone, holidays in a country like the United Arab Emirates are mostly non-alcoholic. So, for example, find here products containing high degree You can not in every store, or rather, none of the local alcohol is sold, and huge supermarkets are no exception. If alcohol and relaxation are unambiguous and inseparable concepts for you, do not imagine a normal trip without it, then immediately upon arrival in the country you should visit one of the most luxurious duty-free shops. Here the choice of alcohol, as well as tobacco products is wide and varied. Moreover, I advise you to buy alcohol as much as you think is enough for the entire period of your vacation in the United Arab Emirates, so that after that you don’t have to travel and buy more. If you still do not live in a hotel where there is an all-inclusive food system peculiar to this country, then make sure that you still buy plain drinking water, because in an ordinary hotel they take fabulously expensive money for it. It is also worth noting one peculiar fact, everyone knows that in every country there are hotels with restaurants located in them, where they feed by no means the cheapest food, but at the same time it is better to keep silent about the taste qualities of which, since they are far from perfect at the price that offer meals. However, some establishments located at hotels in the United Arab Emirates in this regard have surpassed all terrible conceivable and unimaginable expectations and norms. For example, go to one of the restaurants where you order cheese, a little salad and fried ribs, all this is a fairly simple meal, and given that the ribs are sometimes brought burnt, the bill should not be large, but it wasn’t there, they will charge you for this charm not more nor less, but one hundred and fifty conventional units. Therefore, it is worthwhile in advance, even taking the all-inclusive food system at the hotel, to take care of neighboring restaurants and even drinking establishments, and you should definitely know the prices in them in advance.

Service according to the all inclusive scheme involves the provision of accommodation, meals with drinks and additional services. When purchasing an all-inclusive tour to the UAE, vacationers should remember the peculiarities of this Middle Eastern state and the meaning that is introduced into the concept of all inclusive in this country.

Features of rest in the UAE "all inclusive"

All-inclusive hotels in the UAE are concentrated mainly in the emirates of Fujairah, Sharjah, Dubai and differ significantly from each other in terms of the range of services provided. So, in a number of hotels three meals a day are offered exclusively on the menu, in others a buffet is provided. But the same feature for all hotels, regardless of their star status, will be the restriction in the supply of alcohol. After all, the UAE is a Muslim country with a dry law. For tourists, alcoholic drinks are still available, but at strictly defined meal times.

Most often, all inclusive services in the UAE are:

• breakfast lunch dinner;

There are not many hotels in the UAE that operate on the All Inclusive system. There are about a dozen of them in the emirate of Dubai. This is a modest figure, given that there are more than a thousand hotels and guest houses.

Most of all, the AI ​​system is loved in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, there are two dozen such hotels. Ras Al Khaimah has the most low prices on AI. Two dozen hotels support AI, but prices are high.

Ingredients on the buffet

The food is very different in different hotels. Most often, they prefer to cook dishes of European cuisine, you will meet local masterpieces only in expensive “fives”.

The menu includes dishes that are neutral and familiar to Russians: pizza, pasta, rice with vegetables, meat and fish cooked without frills, vegetables, fruits. Please note that in the UAE it also happens that drinks at lunch and dinner are not included in the AI, coffee or tea may be paid separately. Be careful, ask about the conditions at the reception or the hotel guide.

Alcohol

In the descriptions of hotels they write: “local alcohol is included”. This phrase sounds crazy, because the production of alcoholic beverages in the United Arab Emirates is strictly prohibited by law. Naturally, alcohol is imported.

The cheapest beer for hotels in the UAE is brought from Australia, its quality can be described as “average, you can drink it”.

Inexpensive wine is brought from Australia and New Zealand, the USA, Italy, Spain and France. Wine on AI is a real lottery - it can be great, or it can be terrible.

Strong drinks from all over the world, even from Russia to the UAE annually bring 125-150 tons of vodka. Whiskey from USA, UK, Ireland. IN All hotels Inclusive rates do not always include strong drinks, it often happens that only beer and wine are included.

What other services are included

Additional services are perhaps the most valuable in All Inclusive in the UAE. Let's talk about this in detail.

Almost always, AI includes a free shuttle bus to the beach. Cheap hotels in the UAE are far from the beaches, sometimes up to 5 kilometers, and a free shuttle service is extremely valuable for tourists. Get to public transport it can be difficult to go to the beach, and it is expensive to ride a taxi back and forth every day. Read the details in our article "". Usually, the bus runs every 1.5-2 hours, making 4-5 trips a day.

Hotels arrange transfers to popular tourist areas, for example, to Dubai or Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. For tourists on AI, such transfers are free. The bus runs once a day.

If the hotel is located near the beach, then tourists on AI can use sun loungers, beach umbrellas and beach towels for free. The AI ​​system includes the use of gyms, sports equipment and sports fields.
