What are the rules for children on a yacht in Dubai?

A yacht is a vessel designed for recreation, sports competitions or long trips. There are both sailing and motor yachts. The main characteristic of the yacht is the comfort provided on board, which may include living quarters, kitchen, bathrooms and entertainment areas. Yachts are used both for personal recreation and for charter services.

Ramadan is a sacred month for Muslims, characterized by fasting and spiritual renewal. In Dubai, this is a special time when the life of the city takes on new hues. After sunset, the streets come alive: iftar tents open, serving traditional dishes, and people gather for a communal meal. I visited Suhoor - a late dinner before dawn - and felt the atmosphere of unity and hospitality. Many shopping centers and stores stay open late, offering special discounts. Cultural events, such as Quran readings and charity actions, become an important part of city life during this period.

Yachts often prefer to go barefoot for several reasons: Safety and deck protection Avoiding damage: The soles of the shoes can damage the wooden or composite decks of yachts, leaving scratches and dents. This is especially true for yachts with a teak deck, which requires careful maintenance. Cleanliness: Shoes can bring dirt, sand and pebbles on board, which can not only spoil the appearance, but also create potential dangers for people on board. Convenience and comfort Grip: The deck of a yacht is often wet and slippery, especially when moving. Bare feet provide better grip on the surface, which helps prevent falls and injuries. Tactile sensations: Walking barefoot allows you to feel the deck surface better, which can be especially important when moving on uneven or wet surfaces. Maritime traditions Yachting traditions: There are well-established traditions and norms of behavior in the yachting world, one of which is walking barefoot on board. This is respect for the ship and its owner, as well as for other passengers. Aesthetics: Walking barefoot is often associated with a certain aesthetic and lifestyle characteristic of a yacht vacation. These reasons together make barefoot sailing a practical and reasonable choice, contributing to the safety, cleanliness and comfort of all on board.

There are no specific medical requirements for most tourists entering Dubai. However, it is recommended to have standard vaccinations such as those for hepatitis A and B, diphtheria, tetanus, and polio. At the time of my trip, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was necessary to provide a negative PCR test taken no earlier than 72 hours prior to departure. I advise checking the current requirements on the official website of the UAE Ministry of Health or with your airline in advance. It is also helpful to have health insurance that covers potential medical expenses abroad.

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.

Allowed, but in specially designated places, please contact the staff before starting to smoke
