In Dubai, sports are not just a way to stay fit, but also a part of the culture. Football is adored here, and you'll often see groups of young people playing on makeshift fields or watching matches in cafes. However, camel racing is considered the most traditional sport. I visited one such race at the Al Marmoom racecourse, and it was a thrilling spectacle: camels, steered by robot jockeys, racing across the sandy track to the cheers of the audience. Falconry is another ancient pastime still practiced today. I visited the Dubai Falconry Academy, where I learned about the intricacies of training these majestic birds and even got to hold a falcon on my arm. In addition, water sports such as windsurfing, kitesurfing, and diving are very popular thanks to the abundance of beaches and warm water.

Go to question pagePalm Jumeirah is an artificial island shaped like a palm tree, one of the most ambitious engineering projects in the world. Construction began in 2001 and required about 94 million cubic meters of sand and 7 million tons of rock. I strolled along the "trunk" of the palm, where hotels, restaurants, and residential complexes are located, and couldn't stop being amazed by the scale of the project. The "leaves" of the palm are luxurious villas with private beaches. The crown houses Atlantis The Palm hotel, a symbol of luxury and hospitality. After climbing The View at The Palm, an observation deck at a height of 240 meters, I was able to appreciate the grandeur of this structure and enjoy the panorama of Dubai and the Persian Gulf. The creation of Palm Jumeirah has shown the world that nothing is impossible for Dubai.
