What is Dubai's attitude towards foreign investments?

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.

The main currency in Dubai is the UAE Dirham (AED). However, most tourist and retail locations accept major international credit and debit cards, as well as US dollars and euros.

To go out into the open ocean, special yachts are needed, which are highly durable, reliable and equipped with everything necessary for long sea crossings. Here are the main types of yachts that can go out to the ocean: Ocean cruisers Sailing Cruisers: These yachts are specially designed for long voyages in ocean conditions. They have a sturdy hull, usually made of steel or aluminum, and are equipped with everything necessary for autonomous navigation, including a navigation system, satellite communications and sufficient supplies of fuel and fresh water.  - Examples: Oyster 565, Hallberg-Rassy 44, Amel 50. Motor cruisers: Motor yachts for ocean crossings also have a solid construction and large fuel tanks, allowing them to cover long distances without refueling. They are equipped for a comfortable stay on board for several weeks or months.    - Examples: Nordhavn 60, Fleming 55, Selene 54. Expedition yachts These yachts are designed for extreme conditions and are often used for research expeditions. They have reinforced hulls capable of withstanding ice loads and severe sea conditions.    - Examples: Damen SeaXplorer, Numarine XP Series, Arksen 85. Catamarans Catamarans, due to their stability and spaciousness, are also suitable for ocean crossings. They provide a large living area and comfort in swimming.    - Examples: Lagoon 620, Fountaine Pajot Alegria 67, Catana 53. Trimarans Trimarans, like catamarans, have high stability and speed, which makes them suitable for crossing oceans.    - Examples: Neel 51, Dragonfly 40, Corsair 37. Key features of ocean yachts: Robust housing: Materials such as steel, aluminum or carbon fiber provide high strength and reliability. Autonomy: Large fuel tanks, water desalination systems and sufficient provisions for a long voyage. Navigation equipment: Modern navigation and satellite communication systems for safe and accurate navigation. Comfort: Providing comfortable conditions for the crew for a long time, including heating, air conditioning and entertainment systems. Choosing a yacht for ocean travel depends on the planned routes, budget and personal preferences, but the main thing is safety, reliability and the ability to withstand the harsh conditions of the open sea.

Yes, there is a subway in Dubai, which consists of two lines: Red and Green. Dubai Metro is a modern automated driverless system that covers key areas of the city and provides convenient and fast movement.

Dubai is a city of contrasts, and each of its districts has a special character. Dubai Marina is a modern oasis with skyscrapers, yachts and a promenade ideal for evening walks. Here I felt like I was in the center of a cosmopolitan world where cultures and languages meet. Deira is the opposite of Marina, an old shopping district with narrow streets and markets. Wandering through the gold market, I was amazed at the brilliance and abundance of jewelry, and at the spice market, the aromas of cinnamon, saffron and cardamom turned my head. Al Fahidi is a historic district with traditional architecture, where you can feel the spirit of old Dubai. Walking through its quiet streets, I found art galleries, museums and cozy courtyards with fountains.

The cost of a yacht can vary significantly depending on many factors, such as the size, type, age and level of equipment of the vessel.

Dubai is becoming increasingly prominent on the global art scene. Contemporary art flourishes in the Alserkal Avenue galleries, which host exhibitions, performances, and festivals. I attended Art Dubai, an international art fair that brings together artists and collectors from around the world. Traditional art is also valued. Museums and cultural centers offer workshops in Arabic calligraphy, ceramics, and textile art. I tried my hand at creating henna patterns and was impressed by the complexity and beauty of this craft.Music and theater are represented at the Dubai Opera, where I enjoyed performances by world-renowned ballet and opera stars in a modern building with unique architecture.

The main attractions of Dubai include: - Burj Khalifa: The tallest building in the world. - Burj Al Arab: A luxury hotel in the shape of a sail. - Palm Jumeirah: An artificial island in the form of a palm tree. - Dubai Mall: One of the largest shopping malls in the world. - Dubai Fountain: A grandiose show with musical fountains. - Old City of Dubai (Bastakia): A historic area with traditional architecture.
