Burj Khalifa is a skyscraper with a height of 828 meters, which is the tallest building in the world. It is located in the center of Dubai and is a symbol of modernization and innovation of the city.

Dubai aspires to be the most technologically advanced city in the world. Smart Dubai is an initiative aimed at integrating innovations into everyday life. I experienced this firsthand when I used the driverless metro and paid for my journey with a single Nol Card, which also works on buses and trams. The Museum of the Future, which opened in 2022, showcases the latest advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, and space technology. The city is also actively implementing blockchain in government services and plans to shift all transactions into a digital format. Walking through the Dubai International Financial Centre, I felt the pulse of innovation and ambition.

Currency can be exchanged at banks, exchange offices and hotels. Exchange offices often offer more favorable rates and are located in shopping malls and tourist areas.

The creation of free economic zones, tax incentives and startup support programs contribute to business development.

Dubai offers many opportunities for learning Arabic. I signed up for courses at Eton Institute, where classes are held in small groups with experienced teachers. The program was flexible, which is convenient for tourists and busy people. Other language centers, such as the Arabic Language Centre and Berlitz, also offer various levels of instruction — from beginner to advanced. Learning the language helped me better understand the culture and communicate with locals, enriching my experience in Dubai.
