How to dress in Dubai to respect local traditions?

Despite Dubai being considered one of the most liberal cities in the region, modesty in clothing is still valued. For men, this means avoiding sleeveless shirts and short shorts in public places. Women are recommended to wear clothing that covers the shoulders and knees. In beach areas and hotels, the requirements are less strict, and swimwear and beachwear are allowed. I always carried a light long-sleeved shirt or scarf with me to cover up if necessary, especially when visiting religious or cultural sites.

What restaurants offer the best cuisine in Dubai?

Dubai is a true foodie paradise, where culinary traditions from around the world converge in one place. One of the most memorable places for me was "Al Mahara" restaurant in the Burj Al Arab hotel. Getting there is an adventure in itself: you walk through an "underwater" tunnel, surrounded by a huge aquarium with exotic fish. I was captivated not only by the exquisite seafood cuisine but also by the fairytale atmosphere straight out of "One Thousand and One Nights." If you are looking for something more authentic, "Al Fanar" offers traditional Emirati cuisine in an old Dubai atmosphere. I tried there "hari", a tender dish of wheat and meat cooked over a slow fire, and it was a revelation for my taste buds. For lovers of panoramic views, you should visit "At.mosphere" on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa, where dinner is accompanied by a breathtaking bird's-eye view of the city.

What observation deck offer the best view of the city?

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.
