How to book a yacht in Dubai?

The ruling family of Dubai, the Al Maktoum, plays a key role in the history and development of the emirate. Since 1833, when Sheikh Maktoum bin Butti moved with the Bani Yas tribe to the Dubai Creek area, the family has ruled the city. Under the leadership of Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Dubai began its transformation into a modern metropolis. The current ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, continues the dynasty's traditions, promoting innovation, tolerance, and development. I visited the Union Museum, which details the creation of the UAE and the contribution of the ruling family to the country's establishment. Their vision and leadership have been the driving force behind Dubai's success.

To rent a yacht in Dubai, you will need the following documents: • Passport: Original passport or other identification document (for all passengers). • Visa (if required): valid UAE visa for citizens of countries that require a visa to enter the UAE. • License/Rights: If you plan to operate a yacht yourself, you will need a vessel management license recognized in the UAE. If you do not have a license, you can rent a yacht with a captain. • Lease agreement: a signed yacht rental agreement with the lessor company. Important: • Check the list of necessary documents with a specific yacht rental company. • Make copies of all documents and keep them separate from the originals.

Dubai is rich in unique souvenirs! Instead of the usual magnets, bring Medjool dates, Arabic perfumes based on oud or bahur to create an Oriental atmosphere. Visit the Gold Market for gold jewelry and pearls. Pashmina, handmade carpets or candura will be a great gift. Don't forget about saffron and spice mixes. Original souvenirs: Arabic coffee pots, lanterns, camel wool products or paintings with views of Dubai. Look for them in markets, shopping malls and Duty Free, and bargain!

Thanks to the warm climate and abundance of beaches, Dubai is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. I tried kitesurfing at Kite Beach, where the wind and waves are perfect for this activity. The instructors are professional and friendly, making it easy for even beginners to learn the basics. For a more relaxed experience, you can try paddleboarding or kayaking along the coast. Speed lovers will appreciate jet skiing and water skiing. I also tried flyboarding — a device that lifts you above the water using a jet of pressurized water. It was an unforgettable feeling of flight and freedom.
