Go to question pageThe beaches of Dubai are welcoming and well-equipped, but it is important to follow some rules. Swimwear is allowed on public and private beaches, but topless sunbathing and nudity are strictly prohibited. I noticed that people respect local customs by choosing appropriate beachwear. Alcohol is prohibited on the beaches, except in designated areas at hotels. Trash should be disposed of properly in bins to maintain cleanliness. Loud and aggressive behavior is not welcome. Following these simple rules ensures a comfortable stay for everyone.

Go to question pageIn 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.

Go to question pageYes, when renting a yacht in Dubai, you can usually order food and drinks on board.

You can choose the appropriate option depending on your preferences and budget. • Menu to choose from: Some companies have their own menus from which you can order food and drinks. • Ability to bring your own food: In some cases, it is allowed to bring your own food and drinks on board.
