What cultural characteristics should be taken into account when yachting in Dubai?

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.

What languages are spoken in Dubai?

The official language is Arabic, but English has actually become a second language and is widely used in all spheres of life — from business to everyday communication. I found that almost everyone I interacted with—in hotels, restaurants, shops— spoke English fluently. In addition, due to the large number of foreign workers, Hindi, Urdu, Tagalog, Russian and many other languages are often heard here. This language mosaic gives the city a special flavor, and you feel like you are part of a global world.

Which areas of Dubai are the most interesting to visit?

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.

What water parks are there in Dubai?

In Dubai's hot climate, water parks become a real lifesaver. Aquaventure Waterpark, located at Atlantis The Palm hotel, is one of the largest in the world. I tested my courage there on the "Leap of Faith" slide, where you are practically thrown vertically down through a transparent tube, passing through a shark pool. Wild Wadi Waterpark, located next to Burj Al Arab, offers themed attractions based on Arabian tales. I especially enjoyed "Jumeirah Sceirah" - a 33-meter high slide where you rush at speeds up to 80 km/h. For families with young children, Laguna Waterpark in La Mer offers more relaxed entertainment, including a lazy river and beach areas.
