In Dubai, as in many other places, it's important to respect personal space and cultural norms when taking photographs. Photographing military installations, government buildings, and airports is strictly prohibited. It's also not advisable to photograph local people without their consent, especially women. I always try to be polite and ask for permission if I want to take a portrait. In most tourist areas, photography is allowed, and you'll be able to take plenty of stunning shots. However, some mosques and religious sites may have restrictions, so it's best to check with the venue. Drone usage is also regulated and requires special permission.

The best places to snorkel and dive from a yacht in Dubai include: - Palm Jumeirah: Artificial reefs and the diversity of marine life. - The World Islands: Clear waters and interesting underwater landscapes. - Fujairah: A nearby emirate with excellent diving conditions.

The beaches of Dubai are welcoming and well-equipped, but it is important to follow some rules. Swimwear is allowed on public and private beaches, but topless sunbathing and nudity are strictly prohibited. I noticed that people respect local customs by choosing appropriate beachwear. Alcohol is prohibited on the beaches, except in designated areas at hotels. Trash should be disposed of properly in bins to maintain cleanliness. Loud and aggressive behavior is not welcome. Following these simple rules ensures a comfortable stay for everyone.

The main currency in Dubai is the UAE Dirham (AED). However, most tourist and retail locations accept major international credit and debit cards, as well as US dollars and euros.

Dubai is a platform for those who are looking for adrenaline and unusual experiences. One of the most exciting adventures for me was the desert safari. Imagine: you are racing in an SUV over endless dunes, sand is flying up in fountains around, and your heart is beating in time with the roaring engine. After a crazy race, dinner was waiting for us in a Bedouin camp under the stars, with belly dancing and fragrant barbecue. Fans of heights can go on "skydiving" over the "Palm Jumeirah" — an artificial island in the shape of a palm tree. I still remember the feeling of free fall and the breathtaking view of the city and the sea merging on the horizon. Water activities are also impressive: from "kitesurfing" at Kite Beach to "diving" among coral reefs and sunken ships.
