What are the rules of behavior on the beaches in Dubai?

In Dubai, it is recommended to dress respectfully, taking into account local traditions and culture: - Men: Shorts and T-shirts are suitable for casual wear, but in public places and especially in business areas it is better to wear long trousers and shirts. - Women: It is recommended to wear clothes that cover the shoulders and knees. Swimwear and beachwear are allowed in tourist areas and on beaches, but outside of these areas it is better to choose more closed clothes. - Mosques and religious sites: Long sleeves and long trousers or skirts are required to visit mosques. Women need to cover their heads with a scarf or shawl.

There are several official taxi companies operating in Dubai: - Dubai Taxi Corporation: The main state-owned taxi company with various types of taxis (standard, women's, for people with disabilities, etc.). - Careem and Uber: International taxi services through mobile applications.

Recommended excursions in Dubai include: - Desert Safari: An off-road tour of the dunes with dinner at a Bedouin camp. - City Tour: Visit the main attractions including Burj Khalifa, Dubai Museum, Bastakia and Dubai Mall. - Dubai Bay Cruise: Evening cruise on a traditional wooden boat (dow) with dinner and entertainment. - Trip to Palm Jumeirah: A tour of the artificial island with a visit to the Atlantis Hotel and Aquaventure Water Park.

The prices for renting a boat in Dubai strongly depend on the selected vessel, the duration of the rental and additional services. On average, renting a small motorboat that can accommodate up to 8 people starts from 300 AED per hour. If you need a more spacious and luxurious boat, for example, a yacht 50-60 feet long, be prepared to pay from 500 AED to 5,000 AED per hour. The cost may vary depending on the level of comfort, the amenities provided and the services included, such as the availability of a captain and crew.

Dubai offers high-speed internet and excellent mobile coverage. I was pleasantly surprised by the speed and stability of the connection, even in public areas. Free Wi-Fi is available in most hotels, cafes, and shopping malls. Mobile connectivity is provided by two major operators: Etisalat and du. I purchased a tourist SIM card at the airport and had no issues using the internet or making local calls. 5G networks are being actively rolled out, which is especially convenient for those who rely on fast internet for work or entertainment. Moreover, many public spaces, such as the metro and parks, are equipped with Wi-Fi hotspots, making getting around the city even more convenient.

Dubai hosts a plethora of international sporting events. The Dubai World Cup is one of the most prestigious horse races in the world with a huge prize fund. I attended the Dubai Tennis Championships, where I got to see the best tennis players in action in the cozy atmosphere of the Aviation Club tennis center. The Dubai Marathon attracts runners from all over the world, offering a route with stunning city views. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, held on renowned courses. In the winter months, the Rugby Sevens takes place, a fun and colorful rugby tournament accompanied by a music and entertainment festival. These events not only attract athletes but also create a festive atmosphere for all visitors to the city.

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.

Visa requirements for visiting Dubai depend on the nationality of the visitor. Citizens of many countries can obtain a visa upon arrival at Dubai Airport. For citizens of the CIS countries and other countries, preliminary visas may be required, which can be issued through tour operators or online on the website of the Emirati authorities.

The capital of the United Arab Emirates is the city of Abu Dhabi.
