Dubai International Airport is one of the busiest in the world, but it is well organized. After landing, I decided to take the metro, which connects the airport directly to key areas of the city. It’s a quick and inexpensive way to reach the center. The trains are clean, air-conditioned, and have space for luggage. An alternative is taxis, which are available 24/7. Official taxis are cream-colored and equipped with meters; the ride to the center takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic. For added comfort, you can arrange a transfer through your hotel or use services like Uber and Careem. I chose the metro and was pleasantly surprised by the convenience and efficiency of this mode of transport.

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. Their vision and leadership have been the driving force behind Dubai's success.

Dubai is renowned for its unique skyline, and besides the Burj Khalifa, there are many other impressive skyscrapers. The Burj Al Arab is a luxurious hotel shaped like a sail, standing on an artificial island. I couldn't miss the opportunity to have a cup of tea there while enjoying the sea views. The Emirates Towers are two elegant skyscrapers reflecting sunlight and symbolizing the city's business prowess. The Cayan Tower, also known as the "twisted tower," rotates 90 degrees from base to top, creating a stunning visual effect. Walking along Dubai Marina, I was amazed by the architectural diversity and boldness of the design solutions.
