How do I reserve a berth at a marina in Dubai?

Dubai prides itself on its cultural program, offering festivals for all tastes. Dubai Shopping Festival, held in January-February, combines shopping with entertainment, fireworks, and concerts. I attended Dubai Food Festival, where I was able to try dishes from local and international chefs, participate in masterclasses, and visit farmers' markets. Art Dubai is the largest art fair in the Middle East, bringing together artists and collectors from around the world. I was impressed by the diversity of the works presented, from traditional to avant-garde. During Ramadan Night Market, you can get acquainted with the culture and traditions of Ramadan, try national dishes, and buy unique souvenirs.

Obtaining UAE citizenship is a complex process, available to a limited number of people. The government grants citizenship for exceptional contributions, investments, or unique skills beneficial to the country. I learned that changes were made in 2021, allowing certain categories of foreign professionals to apply for citizenship. However, long-term visas and residency are available to most expats. A "Golden Visa" for 5 or 10 years can be granted to investors, entrepreneurs, and highly skilled professionals. This makes Dubai attractive for long-term living and working, even without citizenship.

Dubai, located on the coast of the United Arab Emirates, is washed by the waters of the Persian Gulf, which is part of the Indian Ocean. The Persian Gulf is located to the east of Dubai and stretches along its coast, giving the city access to warm sea waters that play an important role in the life and economy of this region.

The catalog of Anyships has about 115 boats for renting in Dubai.

Refueling of yachts is carried out in specially equipped places called marinas and yacht clubs. Here are the main ways and places where you can refuel a yacht: Marinas and yacht clubs Marinas and yacht clubs are specially equipped harbors for yachts and boats, where various services are provided, including refueling. In such places, there are usually fuel stations with diesel and gasoline. Examples of popular marinas: - Port Hercule in Monaco - Marina del Rey in California - Dubai Mina Seyah (Dubai Mina Seyahi) Commercial port gas stations Some commercial ports also offer refueling services for yachts. These ports can serve both large commercial vessels and private yachts. Examples: - Port of Valencia (Port of Valencia, Spain) - Port of Hamburg (Port of Hamburg, Germany) Floating gas stations In some areas, there are floating gas stations that can sail up to the yacht for refueling. This is convenient in remote or less equipped places where there are no stationary fuel stations. Refueling ships In large yachting regions such as the Caribbean or the Mediterranean, there are refueling ships that can deliver fuel directly to a yacht anchored or sailing. Self-refueling For small yachts and boats that use gasoline, it is possible to refuel using cans. This is a less convenient, but sometimes necessary method in remote locations. Examples of marinas with gas stations: Porto Montenegro (Montenegro): offers a full range of yacht services, including refueling. Port Vauban (Antibes, France): one of the largest marinas in the Mediterranean with extensive refueling facilities. Marina di Porto Cervo (Sardinia, Italy): Popular among superyacht owners, it offers high-quality services and fuel. Refueling a yacht requires planning and taking into account the availability of fuel stations on the sailing route, especially in remote and hard-to-reach places.

Regular yacht maintenance includes: Monthly maintenance: Checking the condition of the hull, cleaning the deck, checking the operation of all systems. Seasonal service: Yacht preparation for the season (in spring) and conservation (in autumn). It includes checking engines, changing oils, checking sails and ropes. Annual maintenance: Comprehensive inspection and repair of all systems, including electronics, plumbing, navigation and security systems. Maintenance as needed: Repair and replacement of worn or damaged parts, carried out as needed.

In Dubai, sports are not just a way to stay fit, but also a part of the culture. Football is adored here, and you'll often see groups of young people playing on makeshift fields or watching matches in cafes. However, camel racing is considered the most traditional sport. I visited one such race at the Al Marmoom racecourse, and it was a thrilling spectacle: camels, steered by robot jockeys, racing across the sandy track to the cheers of the audience. Falconry is another ancient pastime still practiced today. I visited the Dubai Falconry Academy, where I learned about the intricacies of training these majestic birds and even got to hold a falcon on my arm. In addition, water sports such as windsurfing, kitesurfing, and diving are very popular thanks to the abundance of beaches and warm water.

Yes, there is a subway in Dubai, which consists of two lines: Red and Green. Dubai Metro is a modern automated driverless system that covers key areas of the city and provides convenient and fast movement.
