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.

What are the characteristics of the tax system in Dubai?

Dubai attracts businesses and investors due to the absence of personal income tax and corporate tax for most companies. This makes the city appealing to professionals and entrepreneurs. I spoke with expats who noted that the lack of income tax allows them to keep more of their earnings. However, since 2018, a 5% VAT (Value Added Tax) has been introduced on most goods and services. This step is aimed at diversifying government revenue. The overall tax system is transparent and streamlined, which facilitates doing business and stimulates economic activity.

How does public transportation operate in Dubai?

Public transportation in Dubai is a model of efficiency and modernity. The Dubai Metro is an automated, driverless system that covers the main areas of the city. I often used the metro, enjoying fast and comfortable rides. The carriages are clean, air-conditioned, and some offer beautiful city views. Buses and trams complement the metro network, providing access even to remote areas. Fares are paid using the Nol Card, which can be easily topped up at machines at stations. For a more scenic route, try the water taxi or an abra, a traditional wooden boat that will transport you across Dubai Creek in just a few minutes.
