What is the attitude towards alcohol in Dubai?

Alcohol is available in Dubai, but its consumption is strictly regulated. Beverages can be purchased at licensed restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, usually located in hotels. I enjoyed a cocktail on the terrace of Barasti Beach Bar, where the music and sea views created a special atmosphere. However, drinking alcohol in public places outside designated areas is prohibited. Appearing intoxicated in public can lead to serious consequences. For residents, there is a licensing system for purchasing alcohol at specialized stores. It is important to respect local laws and customs to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay.

Which shopping malls are worth visiting in Dubai?

If 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.
