What cultural characteristics should be taken into account when yachting in Dubai?

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.

Which shopping malls are worth visiting in Dubai?

If you think shopping malls are just places to shop, Dubai is ready to change your mind. Dubai Mall is not just shopping, it's a whole world under the roof. Imagine a place where you can start the day by watching underwater wonders in a huge aquarium, then go ice skating on an ice rink in the middle of the desert, and in the evening watch a movie in a luxury cinema. I remember getting lost among more than a thousand shops, unexpectedly coming across a waterfall with figures of drivers, as if floating in the air. The Mall of the Emirates offers an even more surreal experience: inside it is Ski Dubai, a real ski resort with penguins and snow slides. Going down on skis, knowing that the scorching sun and sand are outside the walls, is an indescribable feeling.

The government actively supports the education of women, and universities see a large number of female students studying a variety of disciplines from medicine to engineering.

The real estate market in Dubai has gone through various stages but remains attractive to investors. The city is constantly growing, with new projects emerging, such as Dubai Creek Harbour, which will feature the tallest tower in the world—Dubai Creek Tower. I visited District One, an elite area with villas around an artificial lagoon, where the crystal-clear water and white sand create a tropical paradise atmosphere. 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.

What is Global Village and what can you see there?

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.
