What rules of conduct should tourists follow in Dubai?
Although Dubai is quite liberal compared to other cities in the region, it is important to keep in mind local norms. Public displays of affection, such as kisses and hugs, are not welcome. You should dress modestly: cover your shoulders and knees, especially in government offices and malls. Alcohol can only be consumed in licensed establishments, and drunken behavior on the streets can lead to serious consequences. It is not recommended to photograph local residents, especially women, without permission. By following these simple rules, you can enjoy your vacation without trouble.

Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island shaped like a palm tree, one of the most ambitious engineering projects in the world. Construction began in 2001 and required about 94 million cubic meters of sand and 7 million tons of rock. I strolled along the "trunk" of the palm, where hotels, restaurants, and residential complexes are located, and couldn't stop being amazed by the scale of the project. The "leaves" of the palm are luxurious villas with private beaches. The crown houses Atlantis The Palm hotel, a symbol of luxury and hospitality. After climbing The View at The Palm, an observation deck at a height of 240 meters, I was able to appreciate the grandeur of this structure and enjoy the panorama of Dubai and the Persian Gulf. The creation of Palm Jumeirah has shown the world that nothing is impossible for Dubai.
