What is a yacht?
Let’s start with the basics. A yacht is not just a “big boat”. This is a vessel that is used for recreation and entertainment. Yachts can be sailing and motor yachts, as well as vary in size and style. If you see a yacht in the distance, do not rush to call for rescuers — most likely, it’s just someone who decided to spend the weekend away from civilization.

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.

Go to question pageIn the UAE, where vast sandy beaches meet the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf, every sea is beautiful in its own way. But if you're looking for something special, you should pay attention to Fujairah. Fujairah is the only emirate of the UAE located on the east coast, washed by the Indian Ocean. The ocean there is deeper and the turquoise-blue hue of the water in Fujairah is brighter than on the Persian Gulf coast. There are fewer sandstorms here because the emirate is protected by the Hajar Mountains, creating an extraordinary landscape. It is in Fujairah that you can find coral reefs that attract diving and snorkeling enthusiasts. So if you're looking for beauty and uniqueness, Fujairah is your choice!
Go to question pageThe 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.

Go to question pageIf 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.
