What security systems are needed on the yacht?

In Dubai, the UAE Dirham (AED) is used. The exchange rate is usually stable against the US dollar: 1 dollar ≈ 3.67 dirhams. You can exchange currency at the airport, banks, exchange offices and shopping malls. I have noticed that exchange rates in the city are often more profitable than at the airport or hotels. ATMs are ubiquitous, and you can withdraw cash from international cards, but pay attention to the possible fees of your bank. Many places accept credit cards, but it is always useful to have some cash with you for small expenses, especially in markets or small cafes.

The following medical services are available on yachts in Dubai: - First aid kit: Availability of basic medicines and first aid supplies. - Trained personnel: Our crews include members who have completed first aid courses. - Communication: Radio and satellite communication for emergency communication with coastal medical services. - Ambulance boat: In case of serious incidents, you can call an ambulance or use medical evacuation services.

The real estate market in Dubai has gone through various stages but remains attractive to investors. The city is constantly growing, with new projects emerging, such as Dubai Creek Harbour, which will feature the tallest tower in the world—Dubai Creek Tower. I visited District One, an elite area with villas around an artificial lagoon, where the crystal-clear water and white sand create a tropical paradise atmosphere. Investments in real estate in Dubai are appealing due to the absence of property taxes and the opportunity for rental income. The government is implementing measures to regulate the market to ensure stability and protect buyers' rights. I spoke with agents and property owners, and many noted the promising nature of long-term investments.

Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island in the shape of a palm tree, one of the most famous and ambitious projects in Dubai. The island includes residential complexes, hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues. The Atlantis The Palm Hotel is located on the island, with an aquapark and a marine aquarium.

Dubai is considered one of the safest cities in the world. I often walked the streets late at night and never felt threatened or uncomfortable. The high level of security is ensured by strict laws and the efficient work of the police. Nevertheless, as in any city, it is advisable to follow basic precautions: do not leave belongings unattended, be vigilant in crowded places, and avoid unlit or deserted areas. The general atmosphere of friendliness and order makes night walks in Dubai pleasant and safe.

Dubai rightfully earns its title as a global shopping haven. Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping center, offers everything from luxury brands to high street names. I spent an entire day there and felt I only scratched the surface of its offerings. Mall of the Emirates is famous not only for its stores but also for Ski Dubai - an indoor ski resort. For a more authentic experience, visit the Madinat Jumeirah Souk - a modern market styled in traditional fashion, where you can purchase souvenirs, spices, and local artisan goods. And if you're seeking bargain deals, Dubai Outlet Mall offers discounted merchandise year-round.

In Dubai, as in many other places, it's important to respect personal space and cultural norms when taking photographs. Photographing military installations, government buildings, and airports is strictly prohibited. It's also not advisable to photograph local people without their consent, especially women. I always try to be polite and ask for permission if I want to take a portrait. In most tourist areas, photography is allowed, and you'll be able to take plenty of stunning shots. However, some mosques and religious sites may have restrictions, so it's best to check with the venue. Drone usage is also regulated and requires special permission.
