Swimming, no matter what: Russians "calm down" during the oil spill in the United Arab Emirates An environmental disaster began in the north of the Emirates due to an oil leak from a damaged tanker in the Persian Gulf. The black spot has already stretched for more than 40 km along the coastline and continues to grow. Between 15 and 20 thousand Russian tourists found themselves in the disaster zone, after paying more than 300 thousand rubles a week for a family vacation. And what you pay for you get. Despite the film of oil and the smell of fire, the Russians stubbornly continue to enter the water, which is why the Ajman police got involved in the case: the security forces drive swimmers to the beach and threaten to seal the exits to the sea. Those that managed to swim are covered in red spots and a white rash. Hotel managements, including Ramada, instead of solving problems, require guests to delete videos of the polluted sea and not post photos on social networks, and offer transfers to shopping centers as an alternative. But the difficulties also started with resettlement. About 120 families managed to be transported from Ras al-Khaimah to neighboring Sharjah, but then the fuel oil flooded there as well, and the beaches were closed again. Due to the peak season, there are almost no rooms available in the country: Fujairah is packed to capacity, Abu Dhabi and Dubai require additional payments, and local Arab companies have refused to compensate for the difference in the cost of living. Tour operators continue to sell trips to polluted resorts at discounts of up to 50%. At the moment, authorities have closed the coastline in Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah and Ajman. The beaches are fenced off with warning tapes, and helicopters and special aircraft fly over the sea, spraying chemical reagents into the fuel oil deposit. Ostashko!
