The cruise on the Liner "Virtuosa" in the Persian Gulf is worth a visit. A floating city with a shopping street and a cafe, a water park and a sports equipped area with rope rides, swimming pools, a Jacuzzi, a gym, a bowling alley.There are game rooms and slot machines for children. The food is excellent. The only "but" is 6.5 thousand . tourists + staff (( you know, there are a lot of people!!!!
The waiting room is very spacious, it is cool, there are enough chairs. The toilets are clean. There are shops.
At the exit there is a taxi straight, on the right there is a free bus to the shopping center.
Everything is fine! This is a wonderful place associated with rest, cruise, impressions, joy, sea, warmth, sun, beach, contentment and health! The comfort is at a good level.
A good, convenient terminal: there are many check-in counters, there are no queues, the staff works quickly and everything is very friendly. The toilets are clean, there is an assortment of medicines on sale, and not only that. The Wi-Fi is good. There is a taxi stand at the exit, we didn't have to wait long.
A good cruise terminal, already 2 of our cruises are connected to it, cozy, polite passport control, good wi-fi.
I traditionally do not advise retail shops, the price tag is inflated, it is best to get to Deira for an extensive purchase of souvenirs, everything is the same, 2-3 times cheaper.
A very convenient port in Dubai. It is clear where to go, they quickly register. Various souvenirs, silk carpets, and national clothes are also sold in the building. Comfortable. I bought souvenirs and went to the airport. There is a check-in desk at Emirates.
We arrived at the cruise terminal at about 8 a.m. By the way, the tour operator could not say for sure which terminal the Virtuoso would sail from - from the 3rd. At the entrance to the building, the luggage was picked up and taken away towards the liner - conveniently. There were no queues at all at that time, but the check-in desks had already opened, which we took advantage of. We registered and gave information leaflets in Russian very quickly. We also went on board without queues. If anything, there are waiting areas in the terminal and the design is nice.
When entering the city through this terminal from the liner, you do not need to go through passport control - using a cruise card. Everything is fast too. There are souvenir shops: bargain, prices are getting nicer.
When leaving the liner on the last day, you should not approach the taxi stands. There is a queue for taxis at the exit, which are distributed by an employee: cheaper. We stood for no more than 10 minutes and drove to Al Maktoum Airport for 170 dirhams. They offered us $ 100 there (although they later reduced it to $ 60). And the trip from the international airport to the port cost 80 dirhams.
We left at 9:30. There was a very long queue for boarding.
A wonderful port. Spacious. Excellent and fast service. Water and drinks are free upon check-in on the liner. Shops are open around the clock, where you can buy everything you need for cruisers
A very comfortable port, you can buy souvenirs, clothes, scarves. The layout of the cargo terminal is very beautiful. You can surf the Internet and book excursions. There are many taxis nearby
Picturesque entrance to the port. There are not many people on the landing, everything is clearly organized. Large spaces. The main thing before traveling to the port is to say Port Rashid. Otherwise they can take you to another port.
A good port. Terminal 3 too. Everything is there - Wi-Fi, shops. The landing is fast. The only drawback is that you need a taxi to get there. Well, the new port in Dubai is of course even cooler and the location is better. But Port Rashid is also good
There is one problem in each port - an expensive taxi))) but at the same time, you can arrange for a whole city tour , with stops in various interesting and popular places . It is 5-10 times cheaper than buying an excursion on a liner if you drive a full car (you can easily find a minivan for 7 people)
I liked the port. The boarding took place quickly, without delay, despite the large number of people. At the end of the cruise, there is an opportunity to pass the time before departure. The port building itself is large. Plenty of room to wait. There are shops. Clean, cozy. Wi-Fi works well.
Close to the airport. It is better to go by taxi according to the meter, and so taxi drivers ask for a fictitious amount of 130 dirhams or 150, in fact, 65-70 dirhams come out according to the meter. They drove straight to the terminal, where an employee of the luggage compartment was waiting, the suitcases were taken and they will be delivered immediately to the liner to the cabin. We checked in for the liner without suitcases on the light
A small terminal with a bunch of junk shops, a typical Arab market, there is free Wi-Fi, convenient before and after the cruise, if you did not take an Internet package on the ship. Very friendly staff, ready to help.
There are no price tags in stores and they always call different prices) therefore, it is better to shop in the city.
WiFi is very slow.
There is a black tax refund machine and you can receive all refunds right at the port
Excellent port, fast check-in on the liner. Good internet is free. One disadvantage is that city buses do not run. MSC tenders began to go free of charge only to one Mercato shopping center. They don't go to the Dubai Mall anymore.
A very convenient terminal, everything is simple and clear, there is free Wi-Fi on the territory of the terminal, there are currency exchangers, but the exchange rate is not very profitable, do not look at what is hanging on the scoreboard, they will exchange at an unfavorable rate, in general, ask for the exchange rate, and then make decisions, and so the terminal is excellent!
Very convenient location, equidistant from all attractions and shopping malls! 45(!) check-in counters!!! There were only about ten in Abu Dhabi, and the queue was several hours long.
It seemed to me that of all the ports I've been to, this one is the most logical and understandable. Without long walkways, elevators and escalators. I got off the liner, went through the frames, and into the city. Also during landing. The staff is helpful, very hospitable.
She took off the star for the fact that there are no buses to the port, you can only get there by taxi. A taxi to the nearest metro cost 30 dirhams. In addition, the staff does not have any information, neither about cruise baggage, nor about transfers, nor about shuttles, no one knows anything. But the price tag in stores is much lower than at the airport!
The port turns out to be no different from the airport in terms of passenger control and check-in. Everything is very similar. One thing is, passports are taken at the entrance. They will be returned on the liner at the end of the cruise.
It is spacious, comfortable, there are cafes and shops.
The port is comfortable in terms of logistics both inside and outside. It is easily accessible from the airport and from any part of the city. Inside there are clear signs and friendly staff
A huge spacious terminal. But at the exit it is not very informative, it seems that you go towards the exit to pass through control and customs, and then you need to turn around in the opposite direction for your luggage. Well, it is completely unclear why you need to wait for your transport inside the terminal standing? I cannot believe that money was not found in Dubai to equip the exit terminal.
A good terminal, very comfortable, spacious. Good Wi-Fi. Clean toilets. I am constantly on my way to the terminal.t, every time the taxi drivers bring it to the wrong place.
A spacious, modern terminal with lots of seating, lots of check-in counters and the ability to immediately check in for Emirates flights and immediately check in your luggage. The only drawback is a very weak Internet connection, there were no problems with the Internet in Abu Dhabi
Just a cruise port. There is no chip like in Doha
Inside there are shops with souvenirs and something necessary.
There is free wi-fi.
Taxis are more expensive, since the port fee is taken. For example, to La Mer beach (by the way, I advise it), 44 dirhams were taken there, and only 22 were taken back.
Uber is much cheaper. Download the app in advance and use it.
There is a free shuttle service to Mercado Mall. By the way, you can walk from it to La Mer beach.
And there is a transfer to the Dubai Mall on a large comfortable bus., also free of charge. I attach his photo and schedule.
And yes. Please like it. I understand that I did not waste a couple of minutes on the review in vain.
Not a bad port. But there are big problems with transport accessibility. Public transport does not go here. You can get there, practically, only by taxi
Quite a normal port, but I did not like the number of intrusive sellers of tours and excursions.. In some areas it is very dark and smells strongly of incense, which makes it a little difficult to stay inside. There is a Wi-Fi connection.
There is a lot of confusion in the terminal. Wifi is so-so. Avoid the exchanger in the terminal. They tear 3 skins and don't even lead with an eyebrow. If there is an opportunity to spend time before boarding - after disembarking from the ship in another place, be sure to do it. An expensive and clueless place.
The disadvantage of the Rashid port is that you can only drive up to it by taxi, respectively, and leave it only by taxi. Moreover, when leaving the port, the taxi immediately includes 20 dirhams for boarding. As a result, it takes about 50 dirhams to get to the nearest metro.
Excellent terminal, international level, all amenities, including Yandex taxi recently, you can pay with a Russian card in the application without any problems!
Excellent organization of the boarding and disembarkation process. Pointers, everything is clear. There are several shops inside. Large parking lot. There are taxis.
It was in 2021 and 2024 everything changed, it became even more beautiful. We have made an update, it has become more convenient. Well, this is the UAE after all.
A huge terminal that quickly serves a large number of passengers. Attentive staff both inside and outside. There is a clear control over the operation of the taxi.
There was a road repair and it was difficult to find an entrance right away. But in the end, everything turned out well in the port itself, everything is fine.
A large terminal with Internet, we traveled on a cruise from it. It costs about 35 dirhams to get from the metro. There is a free shuttle to the Mercato shopping center
Terminal 3 itself is good, but there is no transport except taxis. And you can't walk because there are solid construction sites and no sidewalks, although visually the residential area is very close....
The main thing for taxi drivers is to know the terminal number. From the third there are free transfers to the Mercato Mall and the market, there used to be also a Dubai mall
