Dubai is a city of superlatives - from breathtaking skyscrapers like the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, to luxurious shopping malls like the Dubai Mall. Dubai also offers a variety of cultural attractions, such as the Al Fahidi district, where you can learn about traditional architecture and culture. A trip to the nearby desert is another must for adventure seekers. In terms of gastronomy, you can enjoy the exotic flavors of the regional cuisine - try shakshuka, a traditional breakfast dish, or machboos, a hearty main dish of meat and rice.
Getting there: The best way to reach Dubai from Germany is by direct flight. From most major German airports, the flight takes about 6-7 hours. From Dubai International Airport, you can reach the marina by cab or metro in about 30-40 minutes (about 35 kilometers). For EU citizens, a passport valid for at least six months is required; a visa will be issued upon entry. In Dubai, payment is made in Dirham (AED).
Dubai and beyond: a sailing trip through the jewels of the Arabian Gulf.
Imagine the freedom of exploring the beautiful waters around Dubai on your own sailboat. A paradise for advanced sailors, but also suitable for beginners, thanks to the calm seas and steady winds. Your route could take you to the stunning fjords of Musandam in Oman, for example. Or you could sail to the lively Corniche in Abu Dhabi, where you can visit the world-famous Louvre Abu Dhabi. Sir Bani Yas Island is another highlight, where you can observe exotic wildlife in a nature reserve. In Fujairah, you can visit the historic fortress and then explore the famous Khorfakkan Bay. Ras Al Khaimah, with its spectacular coastline and rich history, should not be missed on your itinerary. In Umm Al Quwain, visit the ancient fort and archaeological museum before ending your trip in Sharjah, known for its impressive mosques and lively souks. Get ready to discover the magic of the Arabian Gulf on your sailing trip!
Keep in mind that once you leave the United Arab Emirates and sail into, say, Oman, you'll have to comply with the border regulations there. This means clearing out and clearing in. Inform yourself before your trip about the current travel regulations of the respective countries.
