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.

Go to question pageIn the UAE, where vast sandy beaches meet the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf, every sea is beautiful in its own way. But if you're looking for something special, you should pay attention to Fujairah. Fujairah is the only emirate of the UAE located on the east coast, washed by the Indian Ocean. The ocean there is deeper and the turquoise-blue hue of the water in Fujairah is brighter than on the Persian Gulf coast. There are fewer sandstorms here because the emirate is protected by the Hajar Mountains, creating an extraordinary landscape. It is in Fujairah that you can find coral reefs that attract diving and snorkeling enthusiasts. So if you're looking for beauty and uniqueness, Fujairah is your choice!

Go to question pageDefinitely YES! Insurance when renting a yacht in Dubai is a prerequisite, not just a recommendation. Having insurance protects you from financial losses in case of unforeseen situations, such as: • Yacht damage: Regardless of who caused the damage, insurance will cover the repair costs. • Liability to third parties: if you cause damage to other people's property or health, the insurance will cover the costs of compensation for damage. • Accidents: Insurance can cover medical expenses in case of injury on board the yacht. • Yacht hijacking: In rare cases, insurance may cover losses from yacht hijacking. What insurance usually includes when renting a yacht: • Yacht hull insurance: covers damage to the yacht hull. Yacht equipment insurance: covers damage to the equipment installed on the yacht. • Third Party liability insurance: covers damage caused to third parties. • Accident insurance: Covers medical expenses in case of injury. Important points: • Specify which insurance is included in the yacht rental price. • Carefully study the terms of the insurance contract. • Find out which cases are covered by insurance and which are not. • Make sure that the insurance amount is sufficient to cover possible losses. • Ask about the deductible (the amount you will have to pay in case of an insured event). Don't skimp on insurance. It is better to pay a little more for rent, but be confident in your safety and financial security.
