The focus of this article will be the city hotel Marbella Resort 4 * (Sharjah). Is it suitable for seafarers? Yes, when you consider that the emirate of Sharjah is washed immediately by two bays - Persian and Omani. No, if a tourist cannot live a day without alcohol. Indeed, in the emirate of Sharjah, “dry law” is an absolute rule. Alcohol will not only not be sold to you in the store, but also will not be served in the restaurant. Therefore, a Russian person willy-nilly needs to look for alternative entertainment. And the most fascinating attraction for tourists of all countries is shopping. In this sense, the Marbella Resort hotel is located very well. The very center of the city of Sharjah, picturesque oriental bazaars ("golden", vegetable, fish) rustle nearby. Dubai International Airport is just fifteen kilometers away. At the same time, the hotel is located on the third line from the beach. To the sea - about a kilometer, which is not so bad for a city hotel. What is the conclusion? Hotel Marbella Resort 4 * is equally well suited both for business tourism, and for those who arrived in the United Arab Emirates for a sea holiday.
Weather in Sharjah: when to go?
UAE welcomes guests all year round. The winter sale does not have time to die out, as the spring begins immediately. Shops, shopping centers and malls lure buyers with constant discounts and promotions. Well, what about a beach holiday? Wise experience tourists strongly recommend visiting the UAE in November. Although there are lovers and winter holidays in this country. But it must be borne in mind that the continental climate of the Emirates determines rather cool and windy evenings from December to the end of February. In the summer, in the UAE, and in Sharjah in particular, incredible heat reigns. In July, vacation in the Emirates can be called extreme. Not everyone can stand plus forty-one in the shade. All reviews agree that the most comfortable stay will be in the last month of autumn. Then the average daytime air temperature is +30 degrees, and the summer nights are warm: + 25 ° C. It is quite possible to afford long evening walks. The sea also pleases with warmth. Its temperature in early November is +28 degrees, gradually decreasing to +26 ° C by the end of the month. It should also be noted that autumn in the Emirates is very clear and dry. The number of cloudless days is twenty-nine.

The entire territory of the hotel is a huge park, ledges descending to the Khalid lagoon. About a hundred small bungalows and villas are hidden in it in lush tropical greenery. So the guests have the feeling that they live among pristine nature, away from any civilization. But this is if you do not pay attention to the skyscrapers towering nearby. All bungalows are built in such a way that guests can be kept private. The hotel positions itself as a place of family relaxation. For children there is a playground for games. But the Marbella Resort 4 * hotel also accepts business people. A daily and free shuttle service to Dubai malls is arranged for them.
