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.

What opportunities does Dubai offer for outdoor activities?

Dubai is a platform for those who are looking for adrenaline and unusual experiences. One of the most exciting adventures for me was the desert safari. Imagine: you are racing in an SUV over endless dunes, sand is flying up in fountains around, and your heart is beating in time with the roaring engine. After a crazy race, dinner was waiting for us in a Bedouin camp under the stars, with belly dancing and fragrant barbecue. Fans of heights can go on "skydiving" over the "Palm Jumeirah" — an artificial island in the shape of a palm tree. I still remember the feeling of free fall and the breathtaking view of the city and the sea merging on the horizon. Water activities are also impressive: from "kitesurfing" at Kite Beach to "diving" among coral reefs and sunken ships.

How to get from the airport to the city center?

Dubai International Airport is one of the busiest in the world, but it is well organized. After landing, I decided to take the metro, which connects the airport directly to key areas of the city. It’s a quick and inexpensive way to reach the center. The trains are clean, air-conditioned, and have space for luggage. An alternative is taxis, which are available 24/7. Official taxis are cream-colored and equipped with meters; the ride to the center takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic. For added comfort, you can arrange a transfer through your hotel or use services like Uber and Careem. I chose the metro and was pleasantly surprised by the convenience and efficiency of this mode of transport.

What water parks are there in Dubai?

In Dubai's hot climate, water parks become a real lifesaver. Aquaventure Waterpark, located at Atlantis The Palm hotel, is one of the largest in the world. I tested my courage there on the "Leap of Faith" slide, where you are practically thrown vertically down through a transparent tube, passing through a shark pool. Wild Wadi Waterpark, located next to Burj Al Arab, offers themed attractions based on Arabian tales. I especially enjoyed "Jumeirah Sceirah" - a 33-meter high slide where you rush at speeds up to 80 km/h. For families with young children, Laguna Waterpark in La Mer offers more relaxed entertainment, including a lazy river and beach areas.
