Which popular islands can you visit on a yacht in Dubai?

Long-distance sea voyages require significant experience and skills, including: Yacht management experience: It is desirable to have experience managing a yacht in various weather conditions and situations. Navigation skills: The ability to read nautical charts, use navigation instruments and sail a yacht on the high seas. Meteorology: Knowledge of the basics of weather forecasting and the ability to interpret weather maps. Rescue skills: The ability to provide first aid and use life-saving equipment. Communications: Experience working with radio communications and other means of communication.

Both Islamic and secular holidays are celebrated in Dubai: - UAE National Day: Celebrated on December 2, accompanied by parades and fireworks. - Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr: The holy month of fasting and the holiday that ends it. - Eid al-Adha: The Feast of Sacrifice. - New Year: Celebrated on a grand scale, with fireworks and parties. - Dubai Shopping Festival: A festive event with great discounts and entertainment programs.

Education 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.

In Dubai, the UAE Dirham (AED) is used. The exchange rate is usually stable against the US dollar: 1 dollar ≈ 3.67 dirhams. You can exchange currency at the airport, banks, exchange offices and shopping malls. I have noticed that exchange rates in the city are often more profitable than at the airport or hotels. ATMs are ubiquitous, and you can withdraw cash from international cards, but pay attention to the possible fees of your bank. Many places accept credit cards, but it is always useful to have some cash with you for small expenses, especially in markets or small cafes.

To organize a business meeting on a yacht: - Rent a suitable yacht: Choose a large-capacity yacht with a spacious cockpit, a yacht equipped with everything necessary for business meetings (audio-visual equipment, for example, a large TV or projector). - Plan your route: Take into account the duration of the meeting and choose routes with minimal interference, such as large waves or a cluster of noisy ships nearby. - Order catering: Ensure the availability of food and drinks for the participants. - Take care of audio equipment: Rent sound and lighting equipment, as usual on yachts there is no wired microphone, even if there are speakers. - Observe business etiquette: assign a dress code and standards of conduct for your event. This is important if you want everyone to come beautifully dressed, to a business event, not in flip-flops and shorts like on the beach.

Yes, it is possible to rent a yacht in Dubai for a party or event. However, this must be agreed upon with the lessor company in advance! They may have special conditions, restrictions on the number of guests, music requirements, and other rules that need to be considered. Be sure to discuss all the details of the event with the company before booking. Why is this important?: • Rental conditions: The rental agreement may specify restrictions on the number of guests, the volume of music, the allowed time for events, and other rules. • Safety: The lessor company must ensure that the event is safe for all participants and does not violate maritime safety regulations. • Insurance: Ask if the yacht's insurance covers events with a large number of guests. • Permits: In some cases, additional permits from the authorities may be required for large-scale events on the yacht. What needs to be discussed with the landlord: • Number of guests: Tell us the exact number of invited guests. • Event type: Describe the nature of the party (birthday, corporate, wedding, etc.). • Music: Learn about the acceptable volume level and the possibility of using musical equipment. • Food and drinks: Coordinate the issue with catering and drinks. • Decorations: Discuss the possibility of decorating the yacht.

The official language is Arabic, but English has actually become a second language and is widely used in all spheres of life — from business to everyday communication. I found that almost everyone I interacted with—in hotels, restaurants, shops— spoke English fluently. In addition, due to the large number of foreign workers, Hindi, Urdu, Tagalog, Russian and many other languages are often heard here. This language mosaic gives the city a special flavor, and you feel like you are part of a global world.

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.
