What sports are popular among locals?

In Dubai, sports are not just a way to stay fit, but also a part of the culture. Football is adored here, and you'll often see groups of young people playing on makeshift fields or watching matches in cafes. However, camel racing is considered the most traditional sport. I visited one such race at the Al Marmoom racecourse, and it was a thrilling spectacle: camels, steered by robot jockeys, racing across the sandy track to the cheers of the audience. Falconry is another ancient pastime still practiced today. I visited the Dubai Falconry Academy, where I learned about the intricacies of training these majestic birds and even got to hold a falcon on my arm. In addition, water sports such as windsurfing, kitesurfing, and diving are very popular thanks to the abundance of beaches and warm water.

What is the Dubai Frame and why is it popular?

The Dubai Frame is an architectural marvel, a giant frame standing 150 meters tall and 93 meters wide. Located in Zabeel Park, it symbolizes a window between Dubai's past and future. Ascending to the top, I found myself on a glass bridge with panoramic views of the city. On one side stretches old Dubai with its historic districts and souks, while on the other lies the modern metropolis with its skyscrapers and innovative projects. Walking across the transparent floor, I felt a slight dizziness, but the view was worth it. Downstairs, in the museum section, interactive exhibits tell the story of the city's past, present, and future.
