What are the rules of conduct on a yacht in Dubai?

To organize a romantic yacht trip: - Choose the right yacht: Rent a yacht with cozy cabins and luxurious amenities, make sure that the refit on the yacht was not long ago, otherwise the date may be spoiled by impressions of an old and smelly yacht. - Plan your route: Include scenic routes with stops for swimming and dining. - Order catering services: Enjoy a romantic dinner on board, prepared by professional chefs. - Decorate the yacht: Decorate the yacht with flowers, candles and other decorative elements to create a romantic atmosphere. - Music and entertainment: Order live music or use the system to play romantic melodies. - Ask them to prepare a cabin for you: Prepare fresh bed linen and decorate the bed with rose petals.

Many mosques in Dubai are open to visitors, allowing for a better understanding of Islamic culture and architecture. The Jumeirah Mosque is one of the most beautiful and welcoming. I joined a tour organized by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, where the guide explained traditions, rituals, and answered all questions. It is important to dress modestly: shoulders and knees should be covered, and women should wear a scarf to cover their heads. Shoes must be removed before entering. Photography inside is usually allowed, but it’s best to check with the guide. Visiting the mosque was a profound and enlightening experience for me.

The following entertainment programs are available on yachts in Dubai: - Live music: Organization of performances by musicians and singers. - DJ and parties: DJ services and themed parties. - Water sports: Wakeboarding, water skiing, kitesurfing and snorkeling. - Fishing: Organization of fishing tours.

There is no minimum number of guests of the yacht, only the maximum. You pay for the rental of yachts entirely, and not for each guest separately.

The main currency in Dubai is the UAE Dirham (AED). However, most tourist and retail locations accept major international credit and debit cards, as well as US dollars and euros.

Yes, you can go diving in Dubai. The city offers several popular diving spots: - Jumeirah Beach: Suitable for beginners with shallow depths and calm waters. - Palm Jumeirah: Around the artificial island you can see a variety of marine life and artificial reefs. - World Islands: A complex of artificial islands with interesting underwater landscapes and marine life.

Dubai offers a variety of ways to get around, and each one adds its own charm to your journey. Dubai Metro is ultra—modern and fully automated, it will quickly take you to the main attractions, and the windows offer impressive views of the city. "Taxis" are available everywhere and relatively inexpensive, drivers are often talkative and can share local tips. For a more authentic experience, try the Abra, a traditional wooden boat that will ferry you across Dubai Creek for just one dirham. And if you feel like an adventurer, rent a car and explore the city on your own, but be prepared for heavy traffic and confusing interchanges.

The beaches of Dubai are welcoming and well-equipped, but it is important to follow some rules. Swimwear is allowed on public and private beaches, but topless sunbathing and nudity are strictly prohibited. I noticed that people respect local customs by choosing appropriate beachwear. Alcohol is prohibited on the beaches, except in designated areas at hotels. Trash should be disposed of properly in bins to maintain cleanliness. Loud and aggressive behavior is not welcome. Following these simple rules ensures a comfortable stay for everyone.

Some basic rules of international yachting include: International Rules for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea (COLREGs): Regulate the behavior of ships to prevent collisions. Yacht registration: Mandatory yacht registration in the flag country. Border and Customs regulations: Compliance with border crossing rules and customs procedures in different countries. Environmental standards: Compliance with international standards for waste disposal and protection of the marine environment. Licenses and certificates: Availability of necessary licenses and certificates for yacht management.

Despite Dubai being considered one of the most liberal cities in the region, modesty in clothing is still valued. For men, this means avoiding sleeveless shirts and short shorts in public places. Women are recommended to wear clothing that covers the shoulders and knees. In beach areas and hotels, the requirements are less strict, and swimwear and beachwear are allowed. I always carried a light long-sleeved shirt or scarf with me to cover up if necessary, especially when visiting religious or cultural sites.
