How does Dubai take care of ecology and sustainable development?

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.

What activities take place during Ramadan?

Ramadan is a sacred month for Muslims, characterized by fasting and spiritual renewal. In Dubai, this is a special time when the life of the city takes on new hues. After sunset, the streets come alive: iftar tents open, serving traditional dishes, and people gather for a communal meal. I visited Suhoor - a late dinner before dawn - and felt the atmosphere of unity and hospitality. Many shopping centers and stores stay open late, offering special discounts. Cultural events, such as Quran readings and charity actions, become an important part of city life during this period.
