The main difference between a motor yacht and a sailing yacht is the method of transportation: - Motor yachts use the engine to move. They are usually faster and require less physical effort to control. - Sailing yachts use wind and sails. They may be slower, but they provide a more traditional and environmentally friendly way of getting around. In addition, motor yachts usually have more room for equipment and can be more luxurious, while sailing yachts offer a unique experience and are often preferred for sports yachting.

Go to question pageIn 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.
