What cultural festivals are held in Dubai?
Dubai prides itself on its cultural program, offering festivals for all tastes. Dubai Shopping Festival, held in January-February, combines shopping with entertainment, fireworks, and concerts. I attended Dubai Food Festival, where I was able to try dishes from local and international chefs, participate in masterclasses, and visit farmers’ markets. Art Dubai is the largest art fair in the Middle East, bringing together artists and collectors from around the world. I was impressed by the diversity of the works presented, from traditional to avant-garde. During Ramadan Night Market, you can get acquainted with the culture and traditions of Ramadan, try national dishes, and buy unique souvenirs.

Go to question pageYachts often prefer to go barefoot for several reasons: Safety and deck protection Avoiding damage: The soles of the shoes can damage the wooden or composite decks of yachts, leaving scratches and dents. This is especially true for yachts with a teak deck, which requires careful maintenance. Cleanliness: Shoes can bring dirt, sand and pebbles on board, which can not only spoil the appearance, but also create potential dangers for people on board. Convenience and comfort Grip: The deck of a yacht is often wet and slippery, especially when moving. Bare feet provide better grip on the surface, which helps prevent falls and injuries. Tactile sensations: Walking barefoot allows you to feel the deck surface better, which can be especially important when moving on uneven or wet surfaces. Maritime traditions Yachting traditions: There are well-established traditions and norms of behavior in the yachting world, one of which is walking barefoot on board. This is respect for the ship and its owner, as well as for other passengers. Aesthetics: Walking barefoot is often associated with a certain aesthetic and lifestyle characteristic of a yacht vacation. These reasons together make barefoot sailing a practical and reasonable choice, contributing to the safety, cleanliness and comfort of all on board.
Go to question pageIn Dubai, the UAE Dirham (AED) is used. The exchange rate is usually stable against the US dollar: 1 dollar ≈ 3.67 dirhams. You can exchange currency at the airport, banks, exchange offices and shopping malls. I have noticed that exchange rates in the city are often more profitable than at the airport or hotels. ATMs are ubiquitous, and you can withdraw cash from international cards, but pay attention to the possible fees of your bank. Many places accept credit cards, but it is always useful to have some cash with you for small expenses, especially in markets or small cafes.
