What are the rules for taking photos in public places?
In Dubai, as in many other places, it’s important to respect personal space and cultural norms when taking photographs. Photographing military installations, government buildings, and airports is strictly prohibited. It’s also not advisable to photograph local people without their consent, especially women. I always try to be polite and ask for permission if I want to take a portrait. In most tourist areas, photography is allowed, and you’ll be able to take plenty of stunning shots. However, some mosques and religious sites may have restrictions, so it’s best to check with the venue. Drone usage is also regulated and requires special permission.

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.

The main industries are trade, real estate, tourism, and financial services. In the 1960s, the discovery of oilfields spurred the development of infrastructure, but Dubai's rulers wisely invested in diversifying the economy. Today, the city is a major transportation hub, with one of the busiest airports in the world and the largest port in the region. I was impressed by how rapidly Dubai transformed from a small trading port into a global city.
