Which is better, a yacht or a boat?

The choice between a yacht and a boat depends on your needs, preferences and purposes of use.

Yacht:

Comfort and luxury: Yachts are usually more spacious and luxurious, equipped with cabins, kitchens, bathrooms and various amenities. They are ideal for long-term travel and accommodation on board.

Sailing range: Yachts are often designed for long-distance sea voyages, can cross oceans and be autonomous for a long time.

Social events: Due to the large space, the yachts are suitable for parties, corporate events and family celebrations.

Speedboat:

Maneuverability and speed: Boats are usually more maneuverable and faster, which makes them an excellent choice for short trips, water sports and fishing.

Easy operation: The boats are easier to operate, require less time for training and maintenance, which makes them convenient for beginners.

Cost-effective: Boats are often cheaper to buy and maintain compared to yachts, which can be an important factor for those who want to enjoy a water holiday without significant costs.

Thus, if you are looking for luxury and planning long trips by sea, a yacht will be the best choice. If you need speed, maneuverability and you are planning short trips, then a boat will be a more suitable option.

What is Ski Dubai and where is it located?

Ski Dubai is a real winter resort in the heart of the desert, located inside the Mall of the Emirates. Imagine this: the scorching sun and 40°C outside, and you're standing at the top of a snowy slope, ready to ski or snowboard down. I couldn't miss the opportunity to experience this marvel of engineering. The complex maintains a constant temperature of around -4°C. I rented all the necessary equipment and went to explore five different slopes, including the longest one at 400 meters. It was a special treat to interact with real penguins in a specially equipped area. After skiing, I warmed up with hot chocolate in an alpine cafe, watching other skiers through panoramic windows.

What is the role of oil in Dubai's economy?

Interestingly, despite popular belief, oil only accounts for a small portion of Dubai's economy - around 1%. The main industries are trade, real estate, tourism, and financial services. In the 1960s, the discovery of oilfields spurred the development of infrastructure, but Dubai's rulers wisely invested in diversifying the economy. Today, the city is a major transportation hub, with one of the busiest airports in the world and the largest port in the region. I was impressed by how rapidly Dubai transformed from a small trading port into a global city.
