What are the visa requirements for entering Dubai?

Before traveling, it is important to familiarize yourself with the visa requirements. Citizens of many countries, including Russia, can obtain a free tourist visa on arrival for up to 90 days. I recommend checking the current information on the official website of the emirate or at the UAE consulate, as rules may change. Upon entry, you will need a valid passport that is valid for at least six months from the date of arrival. At the airport, I was asked to fill out a migration card and go through standard control procedures. Everything went quickly and without complications, and soon I was enjoying the sights of the city.

What is the history of the ruling family in Dubai?

The ruling family of Dubai, the Al Maktoum, plays a key role in the history and development of the emirate. Since 1833, when Sheikh Maktoum bin Butti moved with the Bani Yas tribe to the Dubai Creek area, the family has ruled the city. Under the leadership of Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Dubai began its transformation into a modern metropolis. The current ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, continues the dynasty's traditions, promoting innovation, tolerance, and development. I visited the Union Museum, which details the creation of the UAE and the contribution of the ruling family to the country's establishment.
