🏖️ Is it possible to have a cheap all inclusive holiday in the UAE? I found the most budget AI among all the hotels in Sharjah and Dubai. In September 2023, the most affordable rest was offered by the popular Holiday International Sharjah 4* hotel (it has good reviews from tourists). I reviewed this hotel and honestly talked about its pros and cons.

At the Holiday International Sharjah 4* hotel you can book accommodation with any type of meals, including all inclusive. However, tourists most often choose “half board” (two meals a day: breakfast + dinner or lunch). I decided to check this particular format. I booked a standard room with a lagoon view.
✅ Hotel description
Hotel Holiday International Sharjah 4* is located 18 km from Sharjah Airport and 14 km from Dubai Airport. It opened in 1979 and was last renovated in 2021. There is a prohibition law in Sharjah, so the hotel does not serve alcohol.
🔷 What is on the territory:
• swimming pool (heated in winter, cooled in summer)
• gym
• sauna and steam room (free, men and women visit separately)
• tennis court, football field, table tennis
• playground for children
The hotel provides free shuttle service to the beach (once a day) and to the Deira area of Dubai (also once a day). Guests can change beach towels at no extra charge. Wi-Fi on site is good and free.
Holiday International Sharjah 4* hotel is urban. The nearest beach is Al Khan. It is 15 minutes away. Entrance to the beach is free, umbrella rental - 30 AED, sun lounger - 10 AED. There is good infrastructure, light sand and a gentle approach to the sea.
🔷 Food
The buffet at the Holiday International 4* hotel seemed decent to me. I checked breakfast, lunch and dinner. The choice of food in the restaurant is small, but there are no questions about the quality of food. It is noticeable that they are trying to diversify the menu and do not skimp on products. Under the half-board system, you can choose between lunch and dinner; there is no need to warn about this in advance. Of the drinks available free of charge during the day and evening, only water and one type of juice are available (tea and coffee are only available in the morning). Under the all inclusive system, these drinks + lemonades and non-alcoholic cocktails are always available.
🔷 What is within walking distance:
• For walks: Al Majaz embankment, Al Noor Mosque, Al Qasbah embankment
• Entertainment: boat trip (50 dirhams for two for 15 minutes), Sharjah dancing fountain
• Shopping: Blue Souk market, Day To Day cheap goods store, LuLu and Nesto hypermarkets
• Inexpensive restaurants with good reviews: Madfoon Al Khaima, Bukhari Al Khaleej
