What are the restrictions on the import and export of goods from Dubai?
It is important to remember that there are strict rules regarding the import and export of certain goods. Drugs, pornographic materials, weapons and certain medicines are prohibited for import and can lead to serious consequences. When exporting goods, pay attention to restrictions on the amount of alcohol and tobacco products. If you are buying gold or jewelry, keep the receipts in case of customs control. I made sure that it is better to familiarize yourself with the rules of your country for the import of goods in advance in order to avoid trouble when returning home.

Go to question pageDubai 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.

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.
