In Dubai's hot climate, water parks become a real lifesaver. Aquaventure Waterpark, located at Atlantis The Palm hotel, is one of the largest in the world. I tested my courage there on the "Leap of Faith" slide, where you are practically thrown vertically down through a transparent tube, passing through a shark pool. Wild Wadi Waterpark, located next to Burj Al Arab, offers themed attractions based on Arabian tales. I especially enjoyed "Jumeirah Sceirah" - a 33-meter high slide where you rush at speeds up to 80 km/h. For families with young children, Laguna Waterpark in La Mer offers more relaxed entertainment, including a lazy river and beach areas.

Go to question pageYes, when renting a yacht in Dubai, you can usually order food and drinks on board. Yacht rental companies usually provide several options: • Catering: Many companies cooperate with catering services and offer a wide range of dishes and drinks from pre-prepared menus. You can choose the appropriate option depending on your preferences and budget. • Menu to choose from: Some companies have their own menus from which you can order food and drinks. • Ability to bring your own food: In some cases, it is allowed to bring your own food and drinks on board. However, it is worth clarifying this point with the lessor company in advance, as there may be certain restrictions or fees.

Go to question pageDubai is considered one of the most expensive cities in the world, but the cost of living largely depends on your lifestyle. Living in luxurious neighborhoods and eating in high-end restaurants, of course, will not be cheap. However, there are many options for a budget vacation. I found that local cafes and markets offer delicious food at reasonable prices. Public transport is accessible and efficient. Accommodation in mid-range hotels or renting an apartment through short-term rental services can significantly reduce costs. Entrance to many attractions is paid, but there are also free activities such as beaches and parks. In general, with proper planning, you can enjoy Dubai without excessive spending.
