How does public transportation operate in Dubai?

Public transportation in Dubai is a model of efficiency and modernity. The Dubai Metro is an automated, driverless system that covers the main areas of the city. I often used the metro, enjoying fast and comfortable rides. The carriages are clean, air-conditioned, and some offer beautiful city views. Buses and trams complement the metro network, providing access even to remote areas. Fares are paid using the Nol Card, which can be easily topped up at machines at stations. For a more scenic route, try the water taxi or an abra, a traditional wooden boat that will transport you across Dubai Creek in just a few minutes.

What are the rules for visiting mosques for non-Muslims?

Many mosques in Dubai are open to visitors, allowing for a better understanding of Islamic culture and architecture. The Jumeirah Mosque is one of the most beautiful and welcoming. I joined a tour organized by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, where the guide explained traditions, rituals, and answered all questions. It is important to dress modestly: shoulders and knees should be covered, and women should wear a scarf to cover their heads. Shoes must be removed before entering. Photography inside is usually allowed, but it’s best to check with the guide. Visiting the mosque was a profound and enlightening experience for me.
