What entertainments are available on board yachts?

Dubai is the perfect destination for a family vacation, offering entertainment for all ages. Dubai Miracle Garden is a huge flower park with giant installations made of millions of living flowers. I watched children run excitedly among the floral castles and fairytale characters. KidZania in Dubai Mall is an interactive city for kids where they can try different professions, from firefighter to doctor. My nephew was thrilled "working" in a bakery and getting paid in play money. The Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, also in Dubai Mall, offers the chance to see sharks, penguins and even dive in a cage among marine predators. And Legoland Dubai is every child's dream, where all the rides are made from the famous LEGO bricks.

Dubai celebrates both religious and national holidays. The UAE National Day, celebrated on December 2nd, is a time of festivities, parades, and fireworks. The city is adorned with flags and lights, and I felt a special atmosphere of unity and pride among the residents. Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims, characterized by fasting and prayers. During this time, many restaurants and cafes are closed during the day but open in the evening for Iftar, the breaking of the fast after sunset. I participated in Iftar and was touched by the hospitality and spirituality of this event. Other holidays include Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, which are accompanied by family gatherings and charitable activities.

The yacht can be stored in several places during the off-season: Marinas: Marinas provide secure places for storing yachts on the water or on land. They often offer maintenance services. Covered parking: Provides protection of the yacht from weather conditions and includes care and maintenance services. Open parking lots on land: A more budget option, in which the yacht is stored on a special site with minimal protection from weather conditions. Private Berths: If you have your own berth or storage space, this can be a convenient and economical option.

The Emirates are known for their hospitality and friendliness. Despite being a minority in their own city, they retain a strong sense of national pride and culture. I remember once being invited to a traditional majlis meeting where news is discussed and stories are shared over a cup of Arabic coffee. The locals appreciate respect for their customs and religion. If you show interest in their culture, they will be happy to share their knowledge and experience with you. This open and friendly attitude makes your stay in Dubai especially enjoyable.

The yacht must have the following safety systems: Life jackets: Must be in sufficient quantity for all passengers and crew. Life rafts and circles: Means of rescue on the water in case of an emergency. Fire extinguishers: Located at key points of the yacht, including the engine room and kitchen. Fire blankets: Used to extinguish small fires. First Aid Kit: Contains the necessary medicines and first aid supplies. Radio stations: For communication with coastal services and other vessels. Apiru (EPIRB): A satellite emergency beacon for transmitting distress signals. Navigation lights: To indicate the yacht at night and in poor visibility. Smoke and light signals: To attract attention in case of an accident. Video surveillance systems: To monitor the situation on board and around the yacht.

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.

Popular festivals and regattas in Dubai include: - Dubai International Boat Show: An annual event showcasing the latest yachts, boats and marine equipment. - - Al Gaffal Traditional Bow Race: A traditional doe race that attracts many participants and spectators. - Dubai Sailing Week: A week of sailing competitions and events for yachtsmen. - Dubai Food Festival: A celebration of gastronomy, where you can taste dishes from the best chefs. - Dubai Shopping Festival: An annual shopping festival with great discounts and entertainment programs.

The following precautions should be observed on a yacht in Dubai: - Use life jackets: For all passengers and crew, at the first request of the captain. - Follow the safety rules: Familiarize yourself with the rules of conduct on board and emergency procedures. - Equipment check: Ask the crew about all the rescue systems and equipment of the yacht for emergency evacuation. - Limit alcohol consumption: Do not drink alcohol in large quantities.
