Can I extend the rental of yachts while walking?

Dubai International Airport is one of the busiest in the world, but it is well organized. After landing, I decided to take the metro, which connects the airport directly to key areas of the city. It’s a quick and inexpensive way to reach the center. The trains are clean, air-conditioned, and have space for luggage. An alternative is taxis, which are available 24/7. Official taxis are cream-colored and equipped with meters; the ride to the center takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic. For added comfort, you can arrange a transfer through your hotel or use services like Uber and Careem. I chose the metro and was pleasantly surprised by the convenience and efficiency of this mode of transport.

Desert safari is one of those adventures that you cannot miss in Dubai. I chose the evening safari to see the sunset over the dunes. In a powerful SUV, we raced over the sandy hills, experiencing the thrill of steep descents and ascents. The experienced driver skillfully maneuvered, and I couldn't help but let out excited exclamations. After the exhilarating ride, we stopped at a Bedouin camp. Here, you could try sandboarding, ride a camel, or get a henna tattoo. Dinner under the stars with local cuisine, belly dancing, and traditional music created an unforgettable atmosphere. The desert at night is a special place where silence and the starry sky make you ponder the eternal.

The main safety requirements for a yacht in Dubai include: - Life jackets: It is mandatory to have a sufficient number of life jackets for all passengers. - Fire extinguishers: The presence of fire extinguishers on board. - Navigation equipment: GPS, compass and maps. - Communication: Radio equipment for communication with coastal services. - First aid: First aid kit and trained staff. - Safety rules: Familiarization of all passengers with the rules of conduct and emergency measures.

Dubai is abundant with places that offer stunning views. Of course, the top spot goes to "At The Top" in Burj Khalifa. Ascending to the 124th and 125th floors, I found myself at an altitude of over 450 meters. However, for the ultimate experience, it's worth choosing "At The Top SKY" on the 148th floor — the highest observation deck in the world. Another excellent option is The View at The Palm, located on the 52nd floor of The Palm Tower. From here, you can see the entire Palm Jumeirah in all its glory. I also visited Dubai Frame, where from a height of 150 meters, you can see both the old and new city laid out before you. Each viewpoint offers its own unique perspective and atmosphere.

The Dubai International Motor Show is the largest and most prestigious automobile exhibition in the Middle East. It shows new products from global automakers, concept cars, technologies and accessories. It takes place: Usually every two years, at the end of the year (November-December). The exact dates must be specified on the official website.

On the day, the guest renting a yacht should have a valid passport and identification of the Emiretes.

The most popular time to rent a yacht in Dubai is the time of sunset.

The coastal waters of Dubai are rich in marine life. While diving and snorkeling, I saw colorful fish, stingrays, and even sea turtles. In some areas, you can encounter dugongs - rare marine mammals resembling manatees. Dolphins often appear in open sea, and there are tours for their observation. It is important to respect nature and not disturb the animals. Aquariums, such as Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, allow you to get acquainted with marine fauna in a safe environment.

Dubai attracts businesses and investors due to the absence of personal income tax and corporate tax for most companies. This makes the city appealing to professionals and entrepreneurs. I spoke with expats who noted that the lack of income tax allows them to keep more of their earnings. However, since 2018, a 5% VAT (Value Added Tax) has been introduced on most goods and services. This step is aimed at diversifying government revenue. The overall tax system is transparent and streamlined, which facilitates doing business and stimulates economic activity.

The yacht must have the following safety systems: Life jackets: Must be in sufficient quantity for all passengers and crew. Life rafts and circles: Means of rescue on the water in case of an emergency. Fire extinguishers: Located at key points of the yacht, including the engine room and kitchen. Fire blankets: Used to extinguish small fires. First Aid Kit: Contains the necessary medicines and first aid supplies. Radio stations: For communication with coastal services and other vessels. Apiru (EPIRB): A satellite emergency beacon for transmitting distress signals. Navigation lights: To indicate the yacht at night and in poor visibility. Smoke and light signals: To attract attention in case of an accident. Video surveillance systems: To monitor the situation on board and around the yacht.
