What traditional crafts are preserved in Dubai?

Despite rapid development, Dubai preserves its cultural roots through traditional crafts. In the Deira market, I watched craftsmen create exquisite silver jewelry and copperware. Pottery is also popular, and in some workshops, you can see how beautiful vessels and decorative elements are born from clay. I was particularly impressed by the art of calligraphy: Arabic letters transform into works of art, decorating homes and public places. Weaving and rug making are another traditional craft, using intricate patterns and natural materials. In Al Fahidi, a historic district, I visited the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, where you can not only see these crafts but also try your hand at them under the guidance of local masters.

What laws and customs should be considered when visiting Dubai?

Dubai combines modernity with deep traditions, so it is important to respect local laws and customs. Public displays of affection, such as kissing or hugging, are not welcomed and may provoke a negative reaction. Alcohol can only be consumed in licensed venues, and being intoxicated in public places can lead to fines or arrest. Drugs are strictly prohibited, and punishments for possession or use are very severe.
