What are the best places to snorkel and dive from a yacht in Dubai?

The coastal waters of Dubai are rich in marine life. While diving and snorkeling, I saw colorful fish, stingrays, and even sea turtles. In some areas, you can encounter dugongs - rare marine mammals resembling manatees. Dolphins often appear in open sea, and there are tours for their observation. It is important to respect nature and not disturb the animals. Aquariums, such as Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, allow you to get acquainted with marine fauna in a safe environment.

To cope with emergencies on the yacht, it is necessary to: Action plan: Have an action plan for various emergencies (fire, leak, loss of a person overboard, etc.). Crew training: Train all crew members to act correctly in emergency situations and conduct training. Use of equipment: Be able to properly use life jackets, rafts, fire extinguishers and first aid kits. Communication: Maintain communication with coastal services and other vessels via VHF radio and satellite communications.

There must be a first-aid kit on board the yacht containing the following drugs and remedies: Painkillers and antipyretics: Paracetamol, ibuprofen. Antiseptics: Alcohol wipes, hydrogen peroxide, iodine. Dressings: Sterile bandages, plasters, gauze napkins, elastic bandages. Medicines for seasickness: Dimenhydrinate, meclizine.

When yachting in Dubai, it is important to take into account the following cultural characteristics: - Clothing: A conservative dress code should be followed, especially when entering ports and marinas, especially for women. Avoid leaving the yacht in open swimsuits. Yacht club security may ask you to get dressed when going ashore. - Behavior: Show respect for local customs and avoid public displays of affection. Kissing, hugging, touching intimate areas in yacht clubs in Arab countries is not recommended. - Religious norms: Respect prayer times and religious holidays such as Ramadan. During fasting, do not eat food and water in public, this can cause discomfort to people who are without water and food all day. - Alcohol: Drink alcohol only on board the yacht or in licensed places.

The ruling family of Dubai, the Al Maktoum, plays a key role in the history and development of the emirate. Since 1833, when Sheikh Maktoum bin Butti moved with the Bani Yas tribe to the Dubai Creek area, the family has ruled the city. Under the leadership of Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Dubai began its transformation into a modern metropolis. The current ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, continues the dynasty's traditions, promoting innovation, tolerance, and development. I visited the Union Museum, which details the creation of the UAE and the contribution of the ruling family to the country's establishment. Their vision and leadership have been the driving force behind Dubai's success.

The Dubai Museum is located in Al Fahidi Fort, which was built in 1787 and is the oldest building in Dubai. The museum reveals to visitors the history and culture of the region, starting from the pre-Islamic period and ending with modernity. Exhibits include artifacts, traditional houses, tools, and interactive installations showcasing the lives of Bedouins and early traders.

Dubai offers many opportunities for learning Arabic. I signed up for courses at Eton Institute, where classes are held in small groups with experienced teachers. The program was flexible, which is convenient for tourists and busy people. Other language centers, such as the Arabic Language Centre and Berlitz, also offer various levels of instruction — from beginner to advanced. Learning the language helped me better understand the culture and communicate with locals, enriching my experience in Dubai.

Dubai rightfully earns its title as a global shopping haven. Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping center, offers everything from luxury brands to high street names. I spent an entire day there and felt I only scratched the surface of its offerings. Mall of the Emirates is famous not only for its stores but also for Ski Dubai - an indoor ski resort. For a more authentic experience, visit the Madinat Jumeirah Souk - a modern market styled in traditional fashion, where you can purchase souvenirs, spices, and local artisan goods.
