What traditional crafts are preserved in Dubai?
Despite rapid development, Dubai preserves its cultural roots through traditional crafts. In the Deira market, I watched craftsmen create exquisite silver jewelry and copperware. Pottery is also popular, and in some workshops, you can see how beautiful vessels and decorative elements are born from clay. I was particularly impressed by the art of calligraphy: Arabic letters transform into works of art, decorating homes and public places. Weaving and rug making are another traditional craft, using intricate patterns and natural materials. In Al Fahidi, a historic district, I visited the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, where you can not only see these crafts but also try your hand at them under the guidance of local masters.

Dubai is considered one of the safest cities in the world, and I personally felt very comfortable there. However, as with any major city, it's important to follow basic precautions. Always keep an eye on your belongings, especially in crowded places like markets or shopping malls. Respect for local laws and customs is a key aspect of safety. Avoid conflicts and do not disrupt public order. Remember that drinking alcohol in public while intoxicated can result in fines or arrest. I always tried to be courteous and mindful, which made my stay pleasant and carefree.
Go to question pageDubai is abundant with places that offer stunning views. Of course, the top spot goes to "At The Top" in Burj Khalifa. Ascending to the 124th and 125th floors, I found myself at an altitude of over 450 meters. However, for the ultimate experience, it's worth choosing "At The Top SKY" on the 148th floor — the highest observation deck in the world. Another excellent option is The View at The Palm, located on the 52nd floor of The Palm Tower. From here, you can see the entire Palm Jumeirah in all its glory. I also visited Dubai Frame, where from a height of 150 meters, you can see both the old and new city laid out before you. Each viewpoint offers its own unique perspective and atmosphere.
