What sports are popular among locals?

In Dubai, sports are not just a way to stay fit, but also a part of the culture. Football is adored here, and you’ll often see groups of young people playing on makeshift fields or watching matches in cafes. However, camel racing is considered the most traditional sport. I visited one such race at the Al Marmoom racecourse, and it was a thrilling spectacle: camels, steered by robot jockeys, racing across the sandy track to the cheers of the audience. Falconry is another ancient pastime still practiced today. I visited the Dubai Falconry Academy, where I learned about the intricacies of training these majestic birds and even got to hold a falcon on my arm. In addition, water sports such as windsurfing, kitesurfing, and diving are very popular thanks to the abundance of beaches and warm water.

What are the requirements for obtaining citizenship in Dubai?

Obtaining UAE citizenship is a complex process, available to a limited number of people. The government grants citizenship for exceptional contributions, investments, or unique skills beneficial to the country. I learned that changes were made in 2021, allowing certain categories of foreign professionals to apply for citizenship. However, long-term visas and residency are available to most expats. A "Golden Visa" for 5 or 10 years can be granted to investors, entrepreneurs, and highly skilled professionals. This makes Dubai attractive for long-term living and working, even without citizenship.

What are the options for a desert safari?

Desert safari is one of those adventures that you cannot miss in Dubai. I chose the evening safari to see the sunset over the dunes. In a powerful SUV, we raced over the sandy hills, experiencing the thrill of steep descents and ascents. The experienced driver skillfully maneuvered, and I couldn't help but let out excited exclamations. After the exhilarating ride, we stopped at a Bedouin camp. Here, you could try sandboarding, ride a camel, or get a henna tattoo. Dinner under the stars with local cuisine, belly dancing, and traditional music created an unforgettable atmosphere. The desert at night is a special place where silence and the starry sky make you ponder the eternal.
