How do Dubai locals treat tourists?

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.

Marinas in Dubai provide the following services: - Berths: Yacht mooring and storage services. - Fuel: Refueling. - Amenities: Showers, toilets, restaurants and bars.

Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island in the shape of a palm tree, one of the most famous and ambitious projects in Dubai. The island includes residential complexes, hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues. The Atlantis The Palm Hotel is located on the island, with an aquapark and a marine aquarium.

Projects include Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina and Dubai Expo 2020.

Despite its urban appearance, Dubai is surrounded by amazing natural landscapes. The Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve is a protected area where you can see Arabian Oryx, desert foxes, and a variety of birds. I went on a safari through the reserve and was amazed by the beauty of the golden dunes and the silence of the desert. Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is a wetland reserve located right in the city. It is home to pink flamingos, herons, and other water birds. Special observation platforms allow you to watch the birds without disturbing their peace.

Refueling of yachts is carried out in specially equipped places called marinas and yacht clubs. Here are the main ways and places where you can refuel a yacht: Marinas and yacht clubs Marinas and yacht clubs are specially equipped harbors for yachts and boats, where various services are provided, including refueling. In such places, there are usually fuel stations with diesel and gasoline. Examples of popular marinas: - Port Hercule in Monaco - Marina del Rey in California - Dubai Mina Seyah (Dubai Mina Seyahi) Commercial port gas stations Some commercial ports also offer refueling services for yachts. These ports can serve both large commercial vessels and private yachts. Examples: - Port of Valencia (Port of Valencia, Spain) - Port of Hamburg (Port of Hamburg, Germany) Floating gas stations In some areas, there are floating gas stations that can sail up to the yacht for refueling. This is convenient in remote or less equipped places where there are no stationary fuel stations. Refueling ships In large yachting regions such as the Caribbean or the Mediterranean, there are refueling ships that can deliver fuel directly to a yacht anchored or sailing. Self-refueling For small yachts and boats that use gasoline, it is possible to refuel using cans. This is a less convenient, but sometimes necessary method in remote locations. Examples of marinas with gas stations: Porto Montenegro (Montenegro): offers a full range of yacht services, including refueling. Port Vauban (Antibes, France): one of the largest marinas in the Mediterranean with extensive refueling facilities. Marina di Porto Cervo (Sardinia, Italy): Popular among superyacht owners, it offers high-quality services and fuel. Refueling a yacht requires planning and taking into account the availability of fuel stations on the sailing route, especially in remote and hard-to-reach places.

You can try the following water sports on a yacht in Dubai: - Wakeboarding: Glide through the water on a special board towed behind the yacht. - Kitesurfing: Using a kite to glide through the water. - Water skiing: Skiing towed behind a yacht. - Snorkeling: Exploring the underwater world with a mask and snorkel. - Diving: Scuba diving to explore marine life.
