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

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.

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.

The cockpit is the place on the yacht where all the magic happens. Here you control the ship, enjoy the sun and discuss with friends which of you will be the first in line for a cocktail. This is the ship's control area, where one or two steering wheels, a navigation system, winches for controlling sails and other equipment are located. The yacht's skipper spends most of his time here. The cockpit also applies to the entire interior of the yacht, unless it is divided into cabins, a gallery and other rooms. If you suddenly hear the phrase “everyone to the cockpit!”, this is just an invitation to have fun.

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.

Ski Dubai is a real winter resort in the heart of the desert, located inside the Mall of the Emirates. Imagine this: the scorching sun and 40°C outside, and you're standing at the top of a snowy slope, ready to ski or snowboard down. I couldn't miss the opportunity to experience this marvel of engineering. The complex maintains a constant temperature of around -4°C. I rented all the necessary equipment and went to explore five different slopes, including the longest one at 400 meters. It was a special treat to interact with real penguins in a specially equipped area. After skiing, I warmed up with hot chocolate in an alpine cafe, watching other skiers through panoramic windows.

Global Village is a unique cultural and entertainment complex that I would describe as a world fair under the open sky. Located on a vast area, it is divided into pavilions representing different countries and regions of the world. Walking through Global Village, I felt like a traveler crossing borders without visas and passports. Each pavilion offers authentic products, dishes of national cuisine, and entertainment programs. I tasted Turkish sweets, bought Indian spices, and enjoyed African dances. Evening shows, fireworks, and attractions make this place perfect for family recreation.

If you suffer from sea disease, then we offer several ways to reduce discomfort.

Dubai is known for its luxurious hotels offering a unique experience. Burj Al Arab, a symbol of luxury, provides suites with personal butlers and a helicopter pad. I visited it for dinner and was impressed by the level of service and interiors. Atlantis The Palm on the Palm Jumeirah offers a water park, underwater rooms, and various entertainments. For those looking for a stylish and modern hotel, Armani Hotel in Burj Khalifa combines elegance and comfort. I stayed at Jumeirah Beach Hotel, where the private beach and views of Burj Al Arab made the stay unforgettable.

When yachting in Dubai, it is important to take into account the following cultural characteristics: - Clothing: A conservative dress code should be followed, especially when entering ports and marinas, especially for women. Avoid leaving the yacht in open swimsuits. Yacht club security may ask you to get dressed when going ashore. - Behavior: Show respect for local customs and avoid public displays of affection. Kissing, hugging, touching intimate areas in yacht clubs in Arab countries is not recommended. - Religious norms: Respect prayer times and religious holidays such as Ramadan. During fasting, do not eat food and water in public, this can cause discomfort to people who are without water and food all day. - Alcohol: Drink alcohol only on board the yacht or in licensed places.
