Where is the parking lot in the Dubai Marina Harbour?

The Museum of the Future is an architectural and technological masterpiece dedicated to innovation and the prospects of human development. The building itself is impressive: an oval structure with calligraphic Arabic inscriptions reflecting quotes from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum about the future. Inside, I was immersed in interactive exhibits dedicated to artificial intelligence, biotechnology, space exploration, and sustainable development. The museum doesn't just offer you a chance to look at exhibits, but actively encourages you to engage with them, stimulating imagination and thought about what our world could be tomorrow. It's a place where science meets art, inspiring visitors with new ideas.

Dubai has long established itself as a global hub for business and conferences. With its ultra-modern conference halls and hotels, equipped with all necessary amenities, the city offers an ideal platform for business events of any scale. I visited the Dubai International Exhibition Centre, where the GITEX technology exhibition was held. Huge halls filled with booths of companies from around the world created an atmosphere of innovation and collaboration. After a busy day of work, business travelers can enjoy the city's diverse entertainment offerings - from fine dining restaurants to cultural events. Dubai also offers excellent opportunities for team building, such as desert safaris, cruises on traditional "dhow" boats, and water sports.

The main means of communication required on the yacht: VHF radios: The main means of communication for short distances and communication with coastal services. Satellite communication: Used for communication on the high seas where there is no mobile network coverage. Mobile phones: Can be used in coastal areas with good coverage. Internet routers: Satellite or mobile routers for Internet access. Epinu: A satellite emergency beacon for transmitting distress signals.

Popular festivals and regattas in Dubai include: - Dubai International Boat Show: An annual event showcasing the latest yachts, boats and marine equipment. - - Al Gaffal Traditional Bow Race: A traditional doe race that attracts many participants and spectators. - Dubai Sailing Week: A week of sailing competitions and events for yachtsmen. - Dubai Food Festival: A celebration of gastronomy, where you can taste dishes from the best chefs. - Dubai Shopping Festival: An annual shopping festival with great discounts and entertainment programs.

Beyond Dubai's urban skyscrapers, stunning natural landscapes await. The desert is the heart of the emirate. I embarked on a desert safari and was captivated by the endless dunes, changing color in the setting sun. At night, the star-studded sky creates a sense of infinity. The Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is a unique place where you can observe pink flamingos and other migratory birds in their natural habitat. Mountain enthusiasts can venture to the neighboring emirate of Hatta, home to Hatta Dam and Hatta Rock Pools – ideal spots for hiking, kayaking, and picnicking. I enjoyed the tranquility and coolness of the mountain air, a welcome contrast to the city's hustle and bustle.

The banking system of Dubai is one of the most developed in the region. It includes both local banks, such as Emirates NBD, and international financial institutions. Opening a bank account can be done quickly, especially if you have a residency permit. I have noticed the high level of service and modern online services that make financial management convenient. Banks offer a wide range of services, from traditional deposits to investment products and Islamic banking. ATMs and payment terminals are available everywhere, making financial transactions easier for tourists and residents.

Dubai is considered one of the most expensive cities in the world, but the cost of living largely depends on your lifestyle. Living in luxurious neighborhoods and eating in high-end restaurants, of course, will not be cheap. However, there are many options for a budget vacation. I found that local cafes and markets offer delicious food at reasonable prices. Public transport is accessible and efficient. Accommodation in mid-range hotels or renting an apartment through short-term rental services can significantly reduce costs. Entrance to many attractions is paid, but there are also free activities such as beaches and parks. In general, with proper planning, you can enjoy Dubai without excessive spending.

Approximate prices: • Small motorboat (up to 6 passengers) per hour: from 500 AED (about 135 USD) • Medium motor yacht (up to 10 passengers) for 3 hours: from 2000 AED (about 545 USD) • Luxury yacht (more than 10 passengers) per day: from 10,000 AED (about 2725 USD) The cost of renting a yacht in Dubai can greatly depend on many factors. Here are the main ones: • Yacht size and type: Small motorboats are cheaper than large luxury yachts or catamarans. • Rental duration: The longer the rental period, the higher the total cost. Renting for an hour or several hours will be significantly cheaper than for a day or several days. • Season: In October-April, yacht rental prices are usually higher than out of season (May-September). • Additional services: Captain and crew, catering (food and drinks), entertainment (water skiing, wakeboarding, fishing, etc.) increase the rental price. • The lessor company: prices may vary from company to company. The Council: • Determine your budget and desired yacht parameters in advance. • Compare prices from different companies and read reviews. • Specify what expenses are included in the rental price.

Dubai is the perfect destination for a family vacation, offering entertainment for all ages. Dubai Miracle Garden is a huge flower park with giant installations made of millions of living flowers. I watched children run excitedly among the floral castles and fairytale characters. KidZania in Dubai Mall is an interactive city for kids where they can try different professions, from firefighter to doctor. My nephew was thrilled "working" in a bakery and getting paid in play money. The Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, also in Dubai Mall, offers the chance to see sharks, penguins and even dive in a cage among marine predators. And Legoland Dubai is every child's dream, where all the rides are made from the famous LEGO bricks.

Before traveling, it is important to familiarize yourself with the visa requirements. Citizens of many countries, including Russia, can obtain a free tourist visa on arrival for up to 90 days. I recommend checking the current information on the official website of the emirate or at the UAE consulate, as rules may change. Upon entry, you will need a valid passport that is valid for at least six months from the date of arrival. At the airport, I was asked to fill out a migration card and go through standard control procedures. Everything went quickly and without complications, and soon I was enjoying the sights of the city.
