Can I extend the rental of yachts while walking?

Dubai is a city where futuristic dreams become reality. Imagine palm-shaped islands created by man, or the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa, piercing the sky at an altitude of 828 meters. Walking along the Dubai Mall, you can get lost among more than 1,200 shops, and then suddenly stumble upon a giant aquarium with sharks and rays. If you are tired of the gloss and glitter, visit the historic district of Al Fahidi, where narrow streets and traditional coral stone houses take you back in time. And in the evening, it's worth going to the Dubai Fountain, which puts on an exciting show of water, light and music.

The main yachting destinations in Dubai include: - Dubai Marina: One of the largest artificial marinas in the world, offering many berths and amenities. - Palm Jumeirah: An artificial palm-shaped island with numerous resorts and beaches. But entry into the interior is prohibited for motor vessels. - Dubai Creek: A historic area ideal for cultural and historical yacht excursions. - Persian Gulf: Beautiful waters suitable for swimming and water sports. World islands are artificial islands near Downtown Dubai.

The selection of souvenirs in Dubai is so great that the eyes run away. In the Gold Market you will find exquisite jewelry at attractive prices. I was impressed by the craftsmanship and detail of the work of local jewelers. Dates are an integral part of Arab culture, and in specialty stores you will find dozens of varieties, from royal medjul to exotic sugar dates stuffed with nuts or chocolate. Arabic spices and incense are great gifts for culinary lovers. I brought home a mixture of spices for machbus and a traditional incense smoke, which still reminds me of oriental bazaars. Camel leather products, carpets, ceramics and traditional clothing such as abaya and kandura are also popular.

Speed limits for yachts in Dubai vary depending on the area: - Marinas and ports: Speed limit up to 5-7 knots. - Near beaches and bathing areas: Speed limit up to 5 knots. - Open waters: Usually the speed is not limited, but it is recommended to take reasonable precautions and take into account weather conditions.

Dubai aspires to be the most technologically advanced city in the world. Smart Dubai is an initiative aimed at integrating innovations into everyday life. I experienced this firsthand when I used the driverless metro and paid for my journey with a single Nol Card, which also works on buses and trams. The Museum of the Future, which opened in 2022, showcases the latest advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, and space technology. The city is also actively implementing blockchain in government services and plans to shift all transactions into a digital format. Walking through the Dubai International Financial Centre, I felt the pulse of innovation and ambition.

The prices for renting a boat in Dubai strongly depend on the selected vessel, the duration of the rental and additional services. On average, renting a small motorboat that can accommodate up to 8 people starts from 300 AED per hour. If you need a more spacious and luxurious boat, for example, a yacht 50-60 feet long, be prepared to pay from 500 AED to 5,000 AED per hour. The cost may vary depending on the level of comfort, the amenities provided and the services included, such as the availability of a captain and crew.

You can pay for yacht rental in several ways.

The following events are organized for yachtsmen in Dubai: - Regattas and races: Regular sailing regattas and motor yacht races, information about such events is sent by the yacht club to yacht owners by e-mail. - Social events: Parties, barbecues and meetings in yacht clubs, the organization of such events is handled by Anyships. - Training courses: Courses on yacht management and safety on the water, are held on the initiative of the Dubai Maritime Authority. - Exhibitions and fairs: Exhibitions of yachts and marine equipment, such as the Dubai International Boat Show.

In order to confirm the reservation, enough or full payment, or prepayments of 50%

Despite the city's reputation for high resource consumption, Dubai is actively implementing green initiatives. I visited The Sustainable City, a district fully designed with sustainability principles in mind. It utilizes renewable energy sources, a waste recycling system, and water conservation measures. The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is one of the largest in the world and demonstrates the city's commitment to clean energy. Campaigns are also being conducted to reduce plastic usage and conserve biodiversity, especially in marine ecosystems. During my visit to Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, I learned about programs to protect mangrove forests and rare bird species. These efforts show that Dubai takes its impact on the environment seriously.
