What are the restrictions on smoking in public places?

Smoking in Dubai is regulated by law to protect public health. Smoking is prohibited in public places such as shopping malls, restaurants, offices, and transport. However, many establishments have specially designated smoking areas. I have noticed that restaurants and cafes usually have a separation into smoking and non-smoking areas. Violating the rules can result in fines for both the smoker and the establishment. This helps create a comfortable environment for everyone and maintain cleanliness in the city.

What currency is used in Dubai and where is the best place to exchange money?

In Dubai, the UAE Dirham (AED) is used. The exchange rate is usually stable against the US dollar: 1 dollar ≈ 3.67 dirhams. You can exchange currency at the airport, banks, exchange offices and shopping malls. I have noticed that exchange rates in the city are often more profitable than at the airport or hotels. ATMs are ubiquitous, and you can withdraw cash from international cards, but pay attention to the possible fees of your bank. Many places accept credit cards, but it is always useful to have some cash with you for small expenses, especially in markets or small cafes.

What observation deck offer the best view of the city?

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.

What navigation systems are used on yachts?

Yachts use various navigation systems to ensure safe and accurate sailing: GPS (Global Positioning System): The main system for location and navigation. Modern GPS receivers provide data on the coordinates, speed and course of the yacht. Chartplotters: Electronic devices that display maps and integrate GPS data, providing a visual representation of the route and surrounding objects. Autopilots: Automatic control systems that help maintain the yacht's course without the constant intervention of the captain. AIS (Automatic Identification System): An automatic identification system that allows you to see other vessels in the field of view and exchange data on location, speed and course. Radar systems: Used to detect objects and navigate in low visibility conditions such as fog or night. Echo sounders: Devices for measuring the depth of water under the keel of a yacht, which helps to avoid shoals and underwater obstacles. Paper nautical charts and compasses: Traditional navigation tools that remain important in the case of failure of electronic systems.

How to arrange a business meeting on a yacht in Dubai?

To organize a business meeting on a yacht: - Rent a suitable yacht: Choose a large-capacity yacht with a spacious cockpit, a yacht equipped with everything necessary for business meetings (audio-visual equipment, for example, a large TV or projector). - Plan your route: Take into account the duration of the meeting and choose routes with minimal interference, such as large waves or a cluster of noisy ships nearby. - Order catering: Ensure the availability of food and drinks for the participants. - Take care of audio equipment: Rent sound and lighting equipment, as usual on yachts there is no wired microphone, even if there are speakers. - Observe business etiquette: assign a dress code and standards of conduct for your event. This is important if you want everyone to come beautifully dressed, to a business event, not in flip-flops and shorts like on the beach.

What cultural characteristics are inherent in Dubai?

Dubai is a unique cocktail of tradition and modernity. Despite the rapid growth and globalization, the city retains deep roots in Islamic culture. The muezzin's call to prayer five times a day fills the streets with melodious sounds. Hospitality here is not just a word, but a way of life: you will always be greeted with a smile and offered a cup of fragrant Arabic coffee with dates. It is customary to dress modestly, especially in places where there are many locals. At the same time, Dubai is open to different cultures and religions, and people from more than 200 nationalities live here side by side.
