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.

There are several main types of yachts: Sailing yachts: Use a sailing system for locomotion. They can be single- or multi-hull (catamarans and trimarans). Motor yachts: Equipped with a motor and designed for faster travel. They include sports boats, cruisers and superyachts. Mega and superyachts: Large, luxurious yachts with numerous amenities designed for long trips and large companies. Expedition yachts: Designed for long voyages in difficult conditions, often used for research. Hybrid yachts: Combine sailing and motor installations for maximum efficiency and environmental friendliness.

Preparing a yacht for winter storage includes several key steps: Cleaning and inspection: Thoroughly wash the hull and deck of the yacht, remove algae and dirt. Inspect the housing for damage and cracks. Engine preservation: Replace the oil and filters, rinse the cooling system with fresh water and add anti-corrosion additives. Close the intake and exhaust ports of the engine. Water supply systems: Empty all water tanks, flush the systems with fresh water and add antifreeze to prevent freezing. Electrical systems: Disconnect the batteries, charge them completely and store them in a dry place. Check and protect all electrical connections. Sails and rigging: Remove the sails, rinse them with fresh water and store them in a dry place. Check the rigging for wear and damage. Interior: Clean and ventilate the interior, remove all textiles and food. Use dehumidifiers to prevent mold. Cover: Use a protective cover or awning to protect the yacht from weather conditions. Make sure that the cover is well secured and allows air to circulate.

Despite the city's reputation for high resource consumption, Dubai is actively implementing green initiatives. I visited The Sustainable City, a district fully designed with sustainability principles in mind. It utilizes renewable energy sources, a waste recycling system, and water conservation measures. The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is one of the largest in the world and demonstrates the city's commitment to clean energy. Campaigns are also being conducted to reduce plastic usage and conserve biodiversity, especially in marine ecosystems. During my visit to Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, I learned about programs to protect mangrove forests and rare bird species. These efforts show that Dubai takes its impact on the environment seriously.

For visiting Dubai, no special vaccinations are required unless you are arriving from a region with a high risk of infectious diseases. However, it is recommended to have standard vaccinations such as hepatitis A and B, diphtheria, tetanus, and polio. I checked my vaccination status before the trip and consulted with a doctor. This is a general recommendation for travelers to ensure safety and health during the journey.
