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.

Beyond Dubai's urban skyscrapers, stunning natural landscapes await. The desert is the heart of the emirate. I embarked on a desert safari and was captivated by the endless dunes, changing color in the setting sun. At night, the star-studded sky creates a sense of infinity. The Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is a unique place where you can observe pink flamingos and other migratory birds in their natural habitat. Mountain enthusiasts can venture to the neighboring emirate of Hatta, home to Hatta Dam and Hatta Rock Pools – ideal spots for hiking, kayaking, and picnicking. I enjoyed the tranquility and coolness of the mountain air, a welcome contrast to the city's hustle and bustle.
