Why do people go barefoot on yachts?
Yachts often prefer to go barefoot for several reasons:
Safety and deck protection
Avoiding damage: The soles of the shoes can damage the wooden or composite decks of yachts, leaving scratches and dents. This is especially true for yachts with a teak deck, which requires careful maintenance.
Cleanliness: Shoes can bring dirt, sand and pebbles on board, which can not only spoil the appearance, but also create potential dangers for people on board.
Convenience and comfort
Grip: The deck of a yacht is often wet and slippery, especially when moving. Bare feet provide better grip on the surface, which helps prevent falls and injuries.
Tactile sensations: Walking barefoot allows you to feel the deck surface better, which can be especially important when moving on uneven or wet surfaces.
Maritime traditions
Yachting traditions: There are well-established traditions and norms of behavior in the yachting world, one of which is walking barefoot on board. This is respect for the ship and its owner, as well as for other passengers.
Aesthetics: Walking barefoot is often associated with a certain aesthetic and lifestyle characteristic of a yacht vacation.
These reasons together make barefoot sailing a practical and reasonable choice, contributing to the safety, cleanliness and comfort of all on board.

The cockpit is the place on the yacht where all the magic happens. Here you control the ship, enjoy the sun and discuss with friends which of you will be the first in line for a cocktail. This is the ship's control area, where one or two steering wheels, a navigation system, winches for controlling sails and other equipment are located. The yacht's skipper spends most of his time here. The cockpit also applies to the entire interior of the yacht, unless it is divided into cabins, a gallery and other rooms. If you suddenly hear the phrase “everyone to the cockpit!”, this is just an invitation to have fun.

I was impressed by the craftsmanship and detail of the work of local jewelers. Dates are an integral part of Arab culture, and in specialty stores you will find dozens of varieties, from royal medjul to exotic sugar dates stuffed with nuts or chocolate. Arabic spices and incense are great gifts for culinary lovers. I brought home a mixture of spices for machbus and a traditional incense smoke, which still reminds me of oriental bazaars. Camel leather products, carpets, ceramics and traditional clothing such as abaya and kandura are also popular.

Go to question pageAlcohol is available in Dubai, but its consumption is strictly regulated. Beverages can be purchased at licensed restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, usually located in hotels. I enjoyed a cocktail on the terrace of Barasti Beach Bar, where the music and sea views created a special atmosphere. However, drinking alcohol in public places outside designated areas is prohibited. Appearing intoxicated in public can lead to serious consequences. For residents, there is a licensing system for purchasing alcohol at specialized stores. It is important to respect local laws and customs to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay.
