Go to question pageDubai is a unique cocktail of tradition and modernity. Despite the rapid growth and globalization, the city retains deep roots in Islamic culture. The muezzin's call to prayer five times a day fills the streets with melodious sounds. Hospitality here is not just a word, but a way of life: you will always be greeted with a smile and offered a cup of fragrant Arabic coffee with dates. It is customary to dress modestly, especially in places where there are many locals. At the same time, Dubai is open to different cultures and religions, and people from more than 200 nationalities live here side by side.
Go to question pageDespite 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.

Go to question pageAin Dubai is the largest observation wheel in the world, located on Bluewaters Island. Standing at 250 meters tall, it towers over the city, offering breathtaking panoramic views. I bought a ticket for sunset to see the city transform into evening lights. The cabins are spacious, with panoramic windows and comfortable seating. In one rotation, which takes about 38 minutes, I was able to take in all the key attractions: Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, and Dubai Marina. It’s not just an attraction; it’s a true engineering marvel, symbolizing Dubai's ambitions and aspirations for new heights.
