What are the features of expatriates' life in Dubai?

Yes, when renting a yacht in Dubai, you can usually order food and drinks on board. Yacht rental companies usually provide several options: • Catering: Many companies cooperate with catering services and offer a wide range of dishes and drinks from pre-prepared menus. You can choose the appropriate option depending on your preferences and budget. • Menu to choose from: Some companies have their own menus from which you can order food and drinks. • Ability to bring your own food: In some cases, it is allowed to bring your own food and drinks on board. However, it is worth clarifying this point with the lessor company in advance, as there may be certain restrictions or fees. It is recommended to clarify the terms of ordering food and drinks from a specific company when booking a yacht in order to avoid misunderstandings and make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Dubai is abundant with places that offer stunning views. Of course, the top spot goes to "At The Top" in Burj Khalifa. Ascending to the 124th and 125th floors, I found myself at an altitude of over 450 meters. However, for the ultimate experience, it's worth choosing "At The Top SKY" on the 148th floor — the highest observation deck in the world. Another excellent option is The View at The Palm, located on the 52nd floor of The Palm Tower. From here, you can see the entire Palm Jumeirah in all its glory. I also visited Dubai Frame, where from a height of 150 meters, you can see both the old and new city laid out before you. Each viewpoint offers its own unique perspective and atmosphere.

The most popular time to rent a yacht in Dubai is the time of sunset.

The following licenses and certificates are required for yacht management: International Certificate of Competence (ICC): Recognized in most countries and confirms yacht management skills. RYA (Royal Yachting Association) Certificates: Include several levels of training, from basic to captain level. National licenses: In some countries, national licenses are required, such as the "Captain of a small vessel" in Russia. Medical certificate: Confirmation of medical fitness to operate a yacht.

The conditions for obtaining a visa to visit Dubai depend on your nationality. Citizens of some countries (for example, EU countries, USA, UK, Russia, etc.) can visit the UAE without a visa for up to 30 or 90 days (depending on the country). The visa to Dubai depends on the nationality. Check the requirements for gdrfad.gov.ae or at the UAE consulate. I need a passport, a photo, tickets, a hotel reservation and money. There are tourist, guest and transit visas.

Interestingly, despite popular belief, oil only accounts for a small portion of Dubai's economy - around 1%. The main industries are trade, real estate, tourism, and financial services. In the 1960s, the discovery of oilfields spurred the development of infrastructure, but Dubai's rulers wisely invested in diversifying the economy. Today, the city is a major transportation hub, with one of the busiest airports in the world and the largest port in the region. I was impressed by how rapidly Dubai transformed from a small trading port into a global city.

The main ports and marinas in Dubai include: - Dubai Marina: A large and modern marina with many services and amenities. - Mina Rashid: One of the oldest ports in Dubai, providing services for yachts and cruise ships. - Jumeirah Beach Hotel Marina: A luxury marina with access to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. - Al Seef Marina: A new marina in the historic Dubai Creek area.

In Dubai and around the world, yacht rental services are provided by different companies of the main types: Various yacht rental platforms with offers all over the world, yacht owners post information on such resources and give commissions for attracted customers. Local companies: such as anyships.com They offer to rent their own yachts in Dubai and other locations where they have their own yachts.

The Dubai International Motor Show is the largest and most prestigious automobile exhibition in the Middle East. It shows new products from global automakers, concept cars, technologies and accessories. It takes place: Usually every two years, at the end of the year (November-December). The exact dates must be specified on the official website.

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.
