The official language is Arabic, but English has actually become a second language and is widely used in all spheres of life — from business to everyday communication. I found that almost everyone I interacted with—in hotels, restaurants, shops— spoke English fluently. In addition, due to the large number of foreign workers, Hindi, Urdu, Tagalog, Russian and many other languages are often heard here. This language mosaic gives the city a special flavor, and you feel like you are part of a global world.

The cleanest sea in Dubai is most likely the beaches of Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR). They actively monitor the cleanliness of the water and sand to create ideal conditions for relaxation. JBR is one of the most popular tourist areas in Dubai, so the authorities pay special attention to keeping the beaches clean.

Dubai always seeks to outdo itself, and its plans for the future reflect this ambition. One of the key projects is "Dubai Vision 2040", a strategic plan aimed at transforming the city into the best place to live and work. I read about this plan and was impressed by its scale: creating new green spaces, developing public transportation, and improving the quality of life for city residents.Expo 2020 Dubai, postponed to 2021 due to the pandemic, became a catalyst for innovation and international cooperation. Visiting the exhibition, I saw how Dubai is striving for sustainable development, showcasing pavilions with cutting-edge technologies in renewable energy, smart cities, and artificial intelligence.The city is also investing in technologies of the future, such as Hyperloop, a high-speed transportation system that could revolutionize travel across the region. The Museum of the Future, with its futuristic architecture and interactive exhibits, demonstrates Dubai's desire to become a center for scientific research and innovation.

Visa requirements for visiting Dubai depend on the nationality of the visitor. Citizens of many countries can obtain a visa upon arrival at Dubai Airport. For citizens of the CIS countries and other countries, preliminary visas may be required, which can be issued through tour operators or online on the website of the Emirati authorities.

We recommend booking the yacht in advance, especially at the peak of the season.

Protecting a yacht from pirates includes several measures: Route planning: Avoid known dangerous areas and use up-to-date information about pirates. Communication: Keep in touch with coastguards and other vessels. Use AIS systems and satellite communications. Barricades and fortifications: Enhance security on board with barricades, nets and locks on doors and hatches. Equipment: Have protective equipment on board, such as stun grenades, rocket launchers and flares. Crew: Train the crew to act in case of an attack, conduct evacuation training and use protective equipment. Legal support: Learn about the legal aspects and possibilities of obtaining assistance from military and security services in various regions.

Before sailing, the captain of the yacht checks all the navigation and equipment systems.

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.
