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

The real estate market in Dubai has gone through various stages but remains attractive to investors. The city is constantly growing, with new projects emerging, such as Dubai Creek Harbour, which will feature the tallest tower in the world—Dubai Creek Tower. I visited District One, an elite area with villas around an artificial lagoon, where the crystal-clear water and white sand create a tropical paradise atmosphere. Investments in real estate in Dubai are appealing due to the absence of property taxes and the opportunity for rental income. The government is implementing measures to regulate the market to ensure stability and protect buyers' rights. I spoke with agents and property owners, and many noted the promising nature of long-term investments.

A license is needed if you control your own boat or other water mode of transport.

No, you do not need a license to rent a yacht.

The selection of souvenirs in Dubai is so great that the eyes run away. In the Gold Market you will find exquisite jewelry at attractive prices. I was impressed by the craftsmanship and detail of the work of local jewelers. Dates are an integral part of Arab culture, and in specialty stores you will find dozens of varieties, from royal medjul to exotic sugar dates stuffed with nuts or chocolate. Arabic spices and incense are great gifts for culinary lovers. I brought home a mixture of spices for machbus and a traditional incense smoke, which still reminds me of oriental bazaars. Camel leather products, carpets, ceramics and traditional clothing such as abaya and kandura are also popular.

Definitely YES! Insurance when renting a yacht in Dubai is a prerequisite, not just a recommendation. Having insurance protects you from financial losses in case of unforeseen situations, such as: • Yacht damage: Regardless of who caused the damage, insurance will cover the repair costs. • Liability to third parties: if you cause damage to other people's property or health, the insurance will cover the costs of compensation for damage. • Accidents: Insurance can cover medical expenses in case of injury on board the yacht. • Yacht hijacking: In rare cases, insurance may cover losses from yacht hijacking. What insurance usually includes when renting a yacht: • Yacht hull insurance: covers damage to the yacht hull. Yacht equipment insurance: covers damage to the equipment installed on the yacht. • Third Party liability insurance: covers damage caused to third parties. • Accident insurance: Covers medical expenses in case of injury. Important points: • Specify which insurance is included in the yacht rental price. • Carefully study the terms of the insurance contract. • Find out which cases are covered by insurance and which are not. • Make sure that the insurance amount is sufficient to cover possible losses. • Ask about the deductible (the amount you will have to pay in case of an insured event). Don't skimp on insurance. It is better to pay a little more for rent, but be confident in your safety and financial security.

Dubai attracts many foreign professionals due to its economic opportunities and high standard of living. I spoke to expats from various countries, and many highlighted the good working conditions, modern offices, and competitive salaries. Companies often provide additional benefits, such as health insurance and housing assistance. However, it's important to note that conditions can vary depending on the industry and the worker's qualifications. The government is implementing reforms to improve the rights and working conditions of foreign workers, especially in construction and services. I noticed that respect for labor and collaboration between different cultures make the working environment in Dubai unique.

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.

Dubai offers a wide range of rental housing options, including some quite unique ones.: • Apartments in skyscrapers: Luxury apartments with panoramic views in the tallest buildings in the world, such as Burj Khalifa. They provide access to premium amenities such as swimming pools, gyms and concierge service. • Artificial Island Villas: Exclusive villas on Palm Jumeirah or The World Islands offering direct access to the beach, private pools and gardens. • Apartments in boats: An original accommodation option on board converted boats moored at Dubai Marina. • Apartments in historical areas: Accommodation in restored houses in Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood (Al Bastakiya), allowing you to plunge into the atmosphere of old Dubai. • Desert vacation homes: An option for those who want to experience Arab culture and proximity to nature. • Serviced Apartments: Offer hotel amenities such as cleaning, laundry, and room service, but with more space and privacy than in a hotel room. • Pop-up hotels: These are temporary accommodation facilities that are usually set up for a specific period of time for a specific event or festival. They can range from luxury tents in the desert to modular homes. • Apartments in themed areas: For example, in the Dubai Sports City area, you can find apartments aimed at sports enthusiasts with access to sports facilities and playgrounds. • Studios designed by renowned designers: Some apartments and studios in Dubai have unique designs designed by renowned designers, which makes them very sought after. Recommendations: When searching for unique housing in Dubai, it is worth paying attention to specialized rental websites, as well as contacting real estate agencies that specialize in non-standard properties.
