Kite Beach attracts water sports enthusiasts: here you can try kitesurfing or just watch the professionals. For a more relaxing stay, Sunset Beach is suitable, offering stunning views of the Burj Al Arab Sail Hotel.

There is an unspoken rule among experts - the annual cost of maintaining a yacht is estimated at about 10% of its value. This allows potential buyers to estimate future costs in advance. However, you should not overly concentrate on the financial side of the issue, so as not to deprive yourself of the joy of owning a yacht.

Dubai Marina is a 3-kilometer long artificial canal, surrounded by skyscrapers and residential complexes. Walking along the Marina Walk, I felt like I was in the center of a modern metropolis, where life is bustling around the clock. Here you can see luxury yachts moored at the docks and even rent one for a sea voyage. In the evening, Marina transforms into a lively district with many restaurants, cafes, and shops. I enjoyed dinner at one of the restaurants overlooking the water, watching the city reflected in the calm surface of the canal. For those who love adventure, there is an opportunity to climb the "Ain Dubai", the largest Ferris wheel in the world, located on Bluewaters Island next to the Marina.

The most expensive yacht in the world is "Azzam", owned by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi. Azzam is not just a yacht, but a real floating fortress. It is 180 meters long (longer than a football field!). The best shipbuilders in the world participated in its construction. It is equipped with the most advanced technology and luxury imaginable. There are many legends about its cost, but it has not been officially disclosed. So, when it comes to the most expensive yacht, it is not just a vessel, but a symbol of wealth and power of one of the most influential people in the world!

Dubai celebrates both religious and national holidays. The UAE National Day, celebrated on December 2nd, is a time of festivities, parades, and fireworks. The city is adorned with flags and lights, and I felt a special atmosphere of unity and pride among the residents. Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims, characterized by fasting and prayers. During this time, many restaurants and cafes are closed during the day but open in the evening for Iftar, the breaking of the fast after sunset. I participated in Iftar and was touched by the hospitality and spirituality of this event. Other holidays include Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, which are accompanied by family gatherings and charitable activities.

The high season begins in mid - September.
