If you like warmth, then Dubai is your paradise. In summer, from June to August, temperatures can rise to 45°C, and the air becomes dense from heat and humidity. This is the time when air conditioners become your best friends. In winter, from November to March, the weather is milder and more pleasant, with temperatures around 25°C during the day and cool evenings. This is the perfect time for beach walks, desert safaris and dinners on the outdoor terraces. Rain is rare here, but sometimes in winter there are short showers, which the townspeople meet with joy and surprise.

Dubai's nightlife offers a variety of options for entertainment. I visited the Dubai Fountain — a musical fountain at the base of the Burj Khalifa, where the light and water show creates a captivating spectacle. City Walk and La Mer are popular areas with restaurants, cafes, and shops, perfect for evening strolls. Club enthusiasts can visit Zero Gravity or WHITE Dubai, where world-renowned DJs and artists perform. For a more cultural experience, the Dubai Opera offers shows, concerts, and musicals. Night markets and festivals, especially during the season, add vibrancy and allow you to immerse yourself in the local culture.

There are no specific medical requirements for most tourists entering Dubai. However, it is recommended to have standard vaccinations such as those for hepatitis A and B, diphtheria, tetanus, and polio. At the time of my trip, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was necessary to provide a negative PCR test taken no earlier than 72 hours prior to departure. I advise checking the current requirements on the official website of the UAE Ministry of Health or with your airline in advance. It is also helpful to have health insurance that covers potential medical expenses abroad.

To go out into the open ocean, special yachts are needed, which are highly durable, reliable and equipped with everything necessary for long sea crossings.

They have a sturdy hull, usually made of steel or aluminum, and are equipped with everything necessary for autonomous navigation, including a navigation system, satellite communications and sufficient supplies of fuel and fresh water.  - Examples: Oyster 565, Hallberg-Rassy 44, Amel 50.

The Dubai Frame is an architectural marvel, a giant frame standing 150 meters tall and 93 meters wide. Located in Zabeel Park, it symbolizes a window between Dubai's past and future. Ascending to the top, I found myself on a glass bridge with panoramic views of the city. On one side stretches old Dubai with its historic districts and souks, while on the other lies the modern metropolis with its skyscrapers and innovative projects. Walking across the transparent floor, I felt a slight dizziness, but the view was worth it. Downstairs, in the museum section, interactive exhibits tell the story of the city's past, present, and future.
