What is the history of the founding of Dubai?

When you first see the glittering skyscrapers of Dubai, it's hard to imagine that less than a century ago there were only sand dunes and fishing boats bobbing on the waves of the Persian Gulf. The history of Dubai begins at the beginning of the XVIII century, when the Bani Yas clan founded a small settlement near the Dubai Creek. This narrow bay has become a vital artery for trade and fishing. In 1833, the Al Maktoum clan peacefully seized power, and since then Dubai has been ruled by this dynasty. But the real turning point came in the middle of the 20th century with the discovery of oil. Instead of relying solely on oil revenues, wise rulers invested in infrastructure, trade and tourism, turning Dubai into a global hub in a few decades.

What are the rules for visiting mosques for non-Muslims?

Many mosques in Dubai are open to visitors, allowing for a better understanding of Islamic culture and architecture. The Jumeirah Mosque is one of the most beautiful and welcoming. I joined a tour organized by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, where the guide explained traditions, rituals, and answered all questions. It is important to dress modestly: shoulders and knees should be covered, and women should wear a scarf to cover their heads. Shoes must be removed before entering. Photography inside is usually allowed, but it’s best to check with the guide. Visiting the mosque was a profound and enlightening experience for me.

How to dress in Dubai to respect local traditions?

Despite Dubai being considered one of the most liberal cities in the region, modesty in clothing is still valued. For men, this means avoiding sleeveless shirts and short shorts in public places. Women are recommended to wear clothing that covers the shoulders and knees. In beach areas and hotels, the requirements are less strict, and swimwear and beachwear are allowed. I always carried a light long-sleeved shirt or scarf with me to cover up if necessary, especially when visiting religious or cultural sites.
