What volunteer opportunities are available?
There are many organizations in Dubai that welcome volunteers. I participated in a beach cleaning program organized by a local environmental group. It was a great way to contribute to the community and meet like-minded individuals. “Volunteer UAE” is a platform where you can find various projects, from working with children and the elderly to cultural and sporting events. Volunteering not only allows you to help those in need but also enriches your personal experience, opening up new aspects of city life.

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.
