What types of art are popular in Dubai?
Dubai is becoming increasingly prominent on the global art scene. Contemporary art flourishes in the Alserkal Avenue galleries, which host exhibitions, performances, and festivals. I attended Art Dubai, an international art fair that brings together artists and collectors from around the world. Traditional art is also valued. Museums and cultural centers offer workshops in Arabic calligraphy, ceramics, and textile art. I tried my hand at creating henna patterns and was impressed by the complexity and beauty of this craft.Music and theater are represented at the Dubai Opera, where I enjoyed performances by world-renowned ballet and opera stars in a modern building with unique architecture.

Go to question pageDubai Marina is a 3-kilometer long artificial canal, surrounded by skyscrapers and residential complexes. Walking along the Marina Walk, I felt like I was in the center of a modern metropolis, where life is bustling around the clock. Here you can see luxury yachts moored at the docks and even rent one for a sea voyage. In the evening, Marina transforms into a lively district with many restaurants, cafes, and shops. I enjoyed dinner at one of the restaurants overlooking the water, watching the city reflected in the calm surface of the canal. For those who love adventure, there is an opportunity to climb the "Ain Dubai", the largest Ferris wheel in the world, located on Bluewaters Island next to the Marina.
Go to question pageDubai has transformed into a global education hub, attracting students and faculty from all over the world. Dubai Knowledge Park and Dubai International Academic City host campuses of leading universities, such as the University of Wollongong and Heriot-Watt University. I attended a lecture at the American University in Dubai and was impressed by the modern technologies and multinational atmosphere. Additionally, the city offers a wide range of language schools and courses in various fields – from business to art. I enrolled in a short-term Arabic language course at Eton Institute, which enriched my journey by allowing me to better understand the culture and interact with locals.
Go to question pageDriving in Dubai is organized to a high standard, but there are a few things to note. Driving is on the right-hand side of the road and the roads are generally of a high quality, making driving easy. However, traffic during rush hour can be heavy, especially on major roads like Sheikh Zayed Road. Speed and traffic cameras are in operation throughout the city, and fines can be substantial. I hired a car and found that local drivers can be quite fast and sometimes make unexpected maneuvers, so it’s important to be attentive. Parking can be expensive in the city center, but shopping malls often offer free parking. Public transport, including the metro and tram, is a good alternative for getting around the city.
Go to question pageDubai rightfully earns its title as a global shopping haven. Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping center, offers everything from luxury brands to high street names. I spent an entire day there and felt I only scratched the surface of its offerings. Mall of the Emirates is famous not only for its stores but also for Ski Dubai - an indoor ski resort. For a more authentic experience, visit the Madinat Jumeirah Souk - a modern market styled in traditional fashion, where you can purchase souvenirs, spices, and local artisan goods. And if you're seeking bargain deals, Dubai Outlet Mall offers discounted merchandise year-round.
Go to question pageEducation in Dubai blends tradition with modern approaches. Public schools are free for UAE citizens and teach a national curriculum in Arabic, with a focus on Islamic values. However, most expats send their children to international schools, where instruction is in English according to British, American, or IB programs. I visited the Dubai International Academy and was impressed by its multinational environment: students from over 70 countries learn together, sharing their cultural experiences. Higher education is represented by branches of renowned universities, such as New York University Abu Dhabi and Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, as well as local universities. The city actively invests in education, striving to become a center of knowledge and innovation in the region.
