Airport transfers are pre-arranged transportation for travelers between an airport and their final destination, whether it be a hotel, cruise port, or another local point of interest. They are often prebooked and prepaid through a booking service, a travel agent, or a tour operator, or they can be free services like hotel shuttles. Airport transfers do not include taxis, rideshares like Uber and Lyft, or public transportation options. You can also book transfers when you're heading back to the airport at the end of your trip.

Private Airport Transfers 

Private airport transfers are when you and your travel companions take pre-booked transportation to your destination. Typically you are met at the airport by a driver (drivers are the people you see holding signs with names on them outside of the baggage claim in the arrivals hall). As an individual traveling for business or leisure, you can book private cars, limos, or even vans for bigger groups. Most tour operators and cruise lines organize transfers themselves to bring guests directly from the airport to the tour meeting point or the port.

The benefit to choosing this kind of service is convenience—it eliminates the stress of trying to hail a taxi or lug a heavy suitcase onto public transportation. Many travelers enjoy having all their transportation taken care of (including payment) before they arrive at their destination airport, especially if they're coming off a long-haul flight. Plus, many drivers will monitor their passengers' flights, so they can adjust pick-up times if there are delays. The only major downside is the price. 

Private transfers can be very costly, though if you're splitting the price with travel companions, it could be cost-effective when compared to taking a normal taxi.

To book your own private airport transfer, look up local taxi or car services at your destination, or ask your hotel for assistance.

Shared Airport Transfers 

Some airports in major cities offer shared transfer services, such as shuttle buses or vans that can be booked by multiple parties. Unlike private transfers, which can be scheduled at any time of day, shared transfers often operate on a regular schedule. Some shared airport transfers will offer door-to-door services and can drop you off at your hotel, while others will only bring you to a central hub in the destination, like a train station.

Some tour operators and cruise lines book shared transfers for guests arriving at the airport around the same time. This will usually still be door-to-door service, though.

Shared airport transfers are usually significantly cheaper than private airport transfers, so they're a great option for travelers who want to take a more convenient transportation option than taxis or mass transit, but don't want to pay an exorbitant fee. The only downside is it may not be door-to-door service, and you might have to wait for other guests to arrive before your transfer departs.

Dental implantation consists of two main stages:

1. Surgical procedure to insert an artificial root into the bone.
2. Restoration of lost teeth with crowns or prostheses, which are installed with support on an implant.

The link between these two major stages - surgical and prosthetic - is the abutment. The specialists of the clinic "Golden Section" will tell you about what it is in this article.

Origin of the word

The name of the abutment comes from the English word abutment , which means "support". An abutment is a transitional part between an artificial root and a crown or prosthesis. An implant is a screw that is inserted into the bone under the gum. The abutment acts as a plug, preventing saliva, food debris and plaque from entering the implant cavity. It allows the formation of the gum around the implant and also serves as a crown support or retainer for a prosthesis that is attached to the implant.

An abutment is, on the one hand, a cylinder or a screw screwed to the implant, and on the other, a small cone on which a crown is placed or a prosthesis is attached.

What are the abutments?

Basically, all abutments can be divided into groups according to two main characteristics - the shape and the material from which they are made.

Depending on the shape, abutments are divided into the following groups:

1. Standard or Universal Abutment: These abutments are widely available in all implantation systems. They have different lengths of the tapered part, as well as different inclination of this part in relation to the axis of the implant (usually from 200 to 400).
2. Angled abutment - similar to the standard abutment, but with a larger angle of inclination, which makes it possible to place a crown or prosthesis also at an angle.
3. Ball Abutment - Shaped like a rod with a ball at the end. It is more often used for fixing dentures that restore large groups of teeth.
4. Individual abutment - made in the laboratory according to the needs of the patient. Different shapes can be created depending on the needs of the patient.

Abutments also include gum formers - small plugs that are screwed into the implant temporarily so that the gingival margin is formed around the future abutment and crown.

In many systems dental implantation the abutment and the implant form a single unit to load the implant immediately after insertion.

According to the material of manufacture, abutments are divided into:

1. Titanium is the most common material for both implants and abutments. Titanium rarely causes allergic reactions, is not rejected by the body and does not lend itself to oxidation processes.
2. Gold - used in case of intolerance to titanium, this material is also more aesthetic.
3. Ceramic - due to the color, it allows you to achieve excellent aesthetics during implantation in the anterior region, in the smile zone.
4. Zirconia - have excellent aesthetics and durability.
5. Plastic - are often used as a cheap temporary option if, for some reason, it is impossible to immediately install a permanent structure.
6. Combined - these abutments are made of different materials. For example, titanium and ceramics.

Abutments can also be divided into groups according to the principle of how a crown or prosthesis is attached:

• With the help of a screw, the crown or prosthesis is screwed to the abutment. This allows the structure to be removed for repair or special procedures. But for this type of attachment, a hole in the crown or prosthesis for the screw is required, which is subsequently closed with material.
• Cementation with special cement - with the help of cementation, a stronger and more reliable connection of the crown and abutment is achieved. Moreover, the integrity of the crown or prosthesis is not compromised.

Which abutment should you choose?

When choosing an abutment, the doctor and the patient are guided by the following principles:

• Clinical situation - this takes into account the depth of the implant, the volume and height of the mucous membrane around the implant, the distance from the implant to antagonist tooth , the position of the implant in the bone and many other aspects
• Aesthetics - when it comes to implantation in the smile zone, then one should take into account the fact that a metal abutment can shine through the gum.
• Method of fixing the abutment to the implant.
• Treatment cost.

In general, in all modern systems implantationa large number of abutments are presented for various clinical cases. Although no standard abutment compares to an individual one, the manufacture of which takes into account all the characteristics and wishes of the patient. An individual approach can significantly improve the fixation and further use of the prosthesis. To get a full consultation on the possibilities of various abutments, you can contact the clinic "Golden Section". Our experts will be happy to help you.

How is the abutment inserted?

After the installation and engraftment of the implant, the gingiva former is installed. The surgeon makes a small incision in the gum in the area of ​​the implant while the patient is under anesthesia and inserts the gingiva former into the implant. After the gum heals (usually this period takes 1-2 weeks), the gum former is removed and the abutment is installed - it is screwed into the place of the gum former. This procedure is painless and usually straightforward.

Abutment care

After installing the abutment, it usually takes several days until the gums are completely healed, after which you can start prosthetics - the manufacture of crowns or prostheses that will be attached to the implant.

In the first days after installation, in order to avoid additional trauma to the gums, it is not recommended to brush the abutment with a brush. Otherwise, the patient brushes his teeth as usual, in addition to this, the doctor may prescribe rinsing with antiseptic solutions. After the gum has healed, the abutments can be cleaned with a soft brush.

Remember, hygiene is very important to successful dental implantation... Complications can occur if an infection gets into the cavity of the implant or under the gum, which can cause inflammation of the surrounding tissues. Problems can also arise due to severe trauma to the gums.

Signs of inflammation or injury are:

• Soreness in the gum and implant area that does not go away within a week after the abutment is placed, or that gets worse over time.
• Swelling, redness, bleeding of the gums around the abutment, also persistent or worse over time.
• Discharge of fluid from under the gums in the area of ​​the implant.

If you notice such symptoms, then you need to urgently consult a doctor.

Each city has its own must do list  . Dubai, the largest city in the UAE on the Persian Gulf coast, is no exception. Before you travel to Dubai, prepare for your trip with 15 things to do in the city when the water, sun and beach sand start to get bored.

1. Climb the Burj Khalifa

Motiongate Dubai - colorful multi-worlds from the DreamWorks studio are located on its territory. Bollywood Parks Dubai immerses you in the atmosphere of Indian blockbusters. Legoland Dubai is a classic stylized park + water park. And also the shopping and restaurant area Riverland Dubai on the banks of an artificial river.

3. Master skiing at the indoor resort Ski Dubai

The area of ​​three football fields is covered with snow all year round - and this is in the middle of the Arab Emirates, practically in the desert! Incredible, but true! Five mountain slopes of varying degrees of difficulty, children's slides and a Snow Park - that's what Ski Dubai is. The dune buggy bashing in dubai can be a good alternative to extreme recreation.

4. Swim with dolphins

Swim with dolphins or pet a stingray? Both! The first can be done in Dolphin Bay Dolphinarium, the second - in the AQUAVENTURE water park with an area of ​​170 thousand square meters. Naturally, there is everything there - both breathtaking slides and all kinds of water activities, it is not without reason that it is considered one of the best in the Middle East. The water park is located on the territory of the Atlantis The Palm 5 * deluxe hotel. 

The water park has the following measures to combat Covid-19:

• Tickets must be booked online as the ticket office is closed.

• All surfaces that customers touch are regularly cleaned.

• The number of visitors is limited to avoid large crowds.

• Your body temperature will be taken without fail.

5. View Dubai from a helicopter or seaplane

An option for those for whom the Burj Khalifa is not enough. You can look at the city from a helicopter, the cost of a group flight is from 835 AED (227 USD). Or rent a seaplane - from 370 USD per person. Both are good ways to get a bird's eye view of the metropolis.

6. Take a sightseeing cruise on the Persian Gulf

If it is too extreme to see the sights of Dubai from the air or it hits the budget - no problem. A group cruise on a yacht, pleasure boat, motor boat or wooden Dow boat will allow you to see everything from the water. Typically, the journey begins in the Dubai Marina area and then your day will pass to explore the high-rise architecture of Dubai. You can take a photo against the backdrop of hundreds of skyscrapers, Burj Al Arab and Atlantis hotels, sail along the bulk islands.  

7. Watch the sunset in the Arabian desert

At sunset, the Arabian Desert takes on the most varied, brightest shades - from sandy to ocher and terracotta. Going on a jeep safari will be the right solution for those looking for an extraordinary experience. There is such an impression of 99 AED / 27 USD per one.

8. Ride a Lamborghini

Not every city has a rental service that offers Lamborghini rental services. But we are in Dubai and there are no problems with this here. Well, besides the fact that you need an amount of about 1000 USD for one day. And be careful with roads in the desert - they have a bad habit of ending abruptly, being covered with sand. Just like a tourist from Belarus in the photo.

9. Feel Old Dubai

If you want to find out how the Arab Emirates came to be, who governs it, and why people wear such clothes, go to the Sheikh Mohammed Center for Cultural Cooperation. Located at  House 26, Al Mussallah Road, Al Fahidi District, Bur Dubai, the  center was opened specifically to acquaint visitors with the country's culture.  

Here you can take part in an excursion to the historic district of the city of Al Fahidi or Bastakiya (Al Fahidi, cost 80 AED), visit the Jumeraya Mosque (20 AED), or take part in a traditional lunch (90 AED). They will tell you what, how and why it happens at the services in the mosque, what dishes are included in the traditional Arab cuisine.

10. Listen and watch the dancing fountains

One of the most popular sights in Dubai is the dancing fountain next to the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa. The evening show attracts hundreds of hundreds of tourists - you can admire it either on your own, having taken a table in one of the cafes, or on the terrace (free of charge). Or as part of a tour of Dubai, which will cost about 100 USD.

11. Take a photo in front of the Burj Al Arab hotel

The most recognizable symbol of Dubai is the luxury sail hotel. Inside, it looks no less impressive than the outside! Everyone who has visited Dubai should have a photo with this business card of the capital of the emirate.

12. Look into the depths of the aquarium in Dubai Mall

30 thousand marine life! And they are collected in one place, in the Dubai Mall, a huge shopping and entertainment center in Dubai. Here, profitable shopping can be combined with a visit to the marine zoo - thanks to a huge panoramic glass panel, it is included in the Guinness Book of Records.

13. Bargaining on the Gold Market

Even if you don't plan on shopping for gold jewelry, the Dubai Gold Souk is well worth a visit as a museum of unprecedented beauty and jewelry artistry. Such a variety of gold patterns, bends and precious stones, you rarely see anywhere.

14. Walk on the glass floor in the Dubai frame

Art object, observation deck and museum. All this is about a relatively new 48-storey building in Dubai - Dubai Frame. The building-frame is 150 meters high and 93 meters wide and has proportions close to the "golden ratio" of 1.618: 1. 

The building has been open to visitors since January 2018. An elevator takes tourists to the observation deck in 75 seconds. At the top of the summit, an extreme pass on the glass floor and panoramic views await you. The framed building has been positioned to the north overlooking the old districts of Bur Dubai and Deira. Visible from the south is the new downtown area and Burj Khalifa. It symbolizes the continuity of the old and the new in the development of Dubai.

15. See 150 million colors

“A Million Scarlet Roses” sounds fantastic. The creators of the Garden of Miracles - one of the world's largest flower parks - decided to go all-in and take the bar even higher. The scale of the park is amazing, while Miracle Garden cannot be called a classic botanical garden or a greenhouse. This is a collection of numerous floristic art objects, for the creation of each of which tens and hundreds of thousands of natural flowers have to be maintained.

Most of the varieties of flowers growing in the park did not originally grow in the UAE. They were brought here specifically for reproduction and cultivation. The opening of this amazing place was timed to coincide with the celebration of Valentine's Day on February 14, 2013. The date has become a landmark, since that very moment the garden has gained fame as the most romantic attraction in the entire Middle East.

The second largest emirate on the shores of the Persian Gulf is a liberal, colorful, vibrant cosmopolitan emirate, exceptional in its architecture and offering all kinds of outdoor activities. In addition, international conferences and exhibitions are often held here. And yet, Dubai is also the name of the city - the administrative center of the emirate. Dubai is a kind of New York in the Middle East. And like New York, Dubai has different neighborhoods, good and worse, luxury and sleeping:

• Gardens - residential area;

• Jumeirah is a seaside residential area;

• Downtown - a business district under construction;

• Bur Dubai - historical center;

• Deira is the commercial area of ​​the city.

• The Palma Islands are a group of artificial islands near the city. Now there are three of them - the developed Palm Jumeirah, the almost completed Palm Jebel Ali and the Palm Deira currently under construction. 

• Dubai Marina is an actively developing residential area around an artificial bay.

The city has two seaports, bus stations and two international airports (Dubai and Al Maktoum). There is a subway of its own. Taxi is a very common form of transport (the cheapest car brand is Toyota Camry). In addition to land taxis (with a separate Ladies taxi, their cars stand out due to the pink trim of the car), there is a water taxi and water buses, a monorail at the services of residents and guests. There are 2 beach parks on the coast - Al Mamzar Park and Jumeirah Beach Park, where guests of city hotels enjoy their rest.

Weather and seasons in Dubai

The period from mid-autumn to early spring is considered ideal for visiting the Emirates. The temperature of the air and water during this period makes the rest very pleasant. Rare rains add the necessary humidity to the air, and the sun (the average air temperature (up to + 30 ° C) warms the sea so much that swimming in it is a pleasure.

Especially popular is the direction of this during the winter holidays: Christmas, New Year -  the first ryaschaya Stay in the UAE  can be a great gift!

Hotels

Hotels in Dubai itself are located, as a rule, in the historical or shopping districts of the city. City hotel categories vary from 3 * to 5 *. But, of course, the most famous and luxurious hotels are located outside the city, on the beaches of Jumeirah or the Palm Islands. Most city hotels in Dubai provide free transfers to shopping malls and beaches. Please note: in a number of hotels in the country, upon check-in, guests must pay a deposit (the amount is different in different hotels), which is subsequently returned. Check the amount of the future deposit with the agency where you buy the tour

Beaches

Dubai stretches for 70 km along the coastline. The most successful sites are occupied by paid beach clubs (the cost of entrance tickets varies), as well as first line hotels. These beaches are famous for the perfect cleanliness of sand, water and the presence of all the amenities for the most enjoyable holiday.

Al Mamzar Park and Jumeirah Beach Park are open to children and women only on Mondays.

The largest crowdedness on the beaches of Dubai is always on Fridays and Saturdays, and these days it is better for vacationers to plan excursions or shopping.

sights

It is impossible to list all the sights of Dubai. It would be most accurate to say that Dubai itself is one big attraction: there are a huge number of amazing places, and when planning a vacation in Dubai, you will probably understand that you will not be able to see and visit all the interesting places in one trip.

The sights can be conventionally divided into historical, shopping, entertainment, architectural.

• Burj Khalifa - the most outstanding building in the world with a height of 828 m (163 floors), opened in 2010, is shaped like a stalagmite, or maybe a stone flower, blossoming in a hot desert. This is a real "city within a city", where there is a hotel, apartments, shopping centers, offices and even boulevards, flowers and lawns. On the 124th floor there is an observation deck, which is very popular with tourists (it is better to buy entrance tickets in advance).

• The Dubai Fountain is the largest, most spectacular musical fountain, the jets of which rise to a height of 150 m and then fall down, intricately intertwining. Located next to the Burj Khalifa skyscraper.

• At the very entrance to the Burj Khalifa, there is another modern attraction - the sculpture "Together", open to the eyes of tourists and residents of Dubai since 2011. It is a couple in traditional Arabic clothes. The figure of the man is made of Swedish black granite and the figure of the woman is made of white Carrara marble. The height of the sculpture is over 4 m.

• The Emirates Towers are gigantic twin towers shining in silver, the main attraction of the main street of Dubai - Sheikh Zayed Road. One of the towers houses the luxurious Jumeirah Emirates Towers. Until 2010, these towers were the tallest buildings in the world.

• Burjal Arab - the standard of luxury, a 7 * hotel (!!!) in the form of a sail. Built on an artificial island and connected to the "mainland" by a bridge. No booklet about the UAE is complete without a photograph of the sail. Without a doubt, your visit to the Dubai resort will not be complete without visiting this place.

• Palm Islands and The World is an incredible project of artificial archipelagos in the form of palm trees and the continents of the Earth.

• Dubai Mall - you can't refrain from repeating - again it is the largest shopping center in the entire region. You need to go there for at least half a day. Moreover, you are unlikely to buy something on your first trip. After all, this is not just a shopping center, there are so many interesting things here that you just forget about shopping.

• Aquarium - the largest aquarium in the world is located in the Dubai Mall. This is a huge glass panel with a visitor tunnel. Imagine a three-story house 50 m long, filled with water from foundation to roof - these will be the approximate dimensions of the aquarium. More than 30 thousand marine inhabitants have settled here, and you can not only watch them through transparent glass, but even get to know them better, accompanied by professional divers.

• Emirates Mall is the second largest shopping center. It is also the very best, but thanks to Ski Dubai - an under-roof ski resort with an area of ​​22.5 thousand square meters, with a 400-meter ski track, where 1.5 thousand visitors can ride at the same time. Snow in the middle of the desert, minus 2 in summer with 50-degree heat. Isn't that amazing?

• The first 5 km long monorail in the Middle East that connects the mainland with the top of the Palm Jumeirah, where the Atlantis Hotel is located. From the height of the monorail, a stunning view of the Palm Jumeirah and the hotel opens up.

• Dubai Flower Park Miracle Garden is an attraction opened in 2013 and pleases the eye with flowers of various shades, numerous arches, flower beds, lawns, bold structures of vertical design. There are not so many kinds of flowers here - only about 50, but the park amazes with a riot of colors and interesting design.

Lovers of history and oriental flavor also have something to do. Bastakiya is an old district of Bur Dubai. Most of the buildings date back to the late 19th - early 20th century. Now this part of the city is being revived and turns into a beautiful historical corner with museums, art galleries, restaurants, gift shops where you can buy souvenirs for loved ones. The city has not only modern shopping centers, but also many colorful bazaars: spice market, gold market, Karama bazaar, etc.

Dubai Attractions

We will focus only on the most interesting from the point of view of a tourist, because it is simply impossible to list all the possibilities of a metropolis.

Diving

This pleasure is not cheap; when choosing diving, keep in mind that reviews about its quality in certain places vary greatly. The most common complaints are the meager sea beauty and murky waters near Dubai itself. 

Tourism industry staff offer sightseeing dives on sunken merchant ships, pontoons and drilling platforms. Undoubtedly, it is interesting and informative. We recommend visiting the ship "Lion City", dry cargo ship "Yasim", tanker "Zainab".

If you are diving for the first time, then the best choice would be to dive not in the bay, but in an adapted open-air aquarium (program from Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo).

Shopping

If you are a shopaholic - do not hesitate, here you will find your heaven (or hell), be ready for it. Shopping in Dubai is much easier than in any European capital, and the wallet is thinning imperceptibly for its owner. But acquisitions here will be profitable due to the rejection of VAT and duties. Malls worth visiting: Ibn Batuta Mall, which offers affordable prices and lots of entertainment, and the Mall of the Emirates of enormous size.

Oriental bazaars are a separate layer in the shopaholic's race. The Textile and Gold Markets are a must-see for every tourist visiting the Dubai resort.

Kitchen. Restaurants and cafes

It must be said right away that it will not be easy for a tourist to make a choice. It's all about the multinationality of the emirate and the huge tourist flow, which brought the influence of all the cuisines of the world into their native traditions. In addition, a mid-level cafe can easily flaunt the sign "Restaurant". The universal chain of cafes with a specialization "to please everyone" Golden Fork (more than a dozen establishments in Dubai) will help the tourist to find what he was looking for. The establishments offer European, Chinese, Indian, Russian, Arabic and other cuisines, as well as fast-food and fusion.

Active entertainment

Tourists are offered various entertainments to "tickle the nerves" - parachute jumps, tandem flights over the metropolis, gyrocopter flights,dune buggy bashing in dubai and other types of entertainment.

Ski complex "Ski Dubai", the only one in the Middle East, pleases with a variety of "winter" entertainment, including snowboarding, skiing on adapted tracks. It has everything that the world's ski resorts have to offer, from equipment rental to cable cars. The tickets also include equipment. The territory of the complex occupies 25 thousand square kilometers and accommodates more than 1.5 thousand visitors a day.

A safari tour can be an incredible memory for many in life. A jeep ride through the desert surrounding Dubai, snowboarding on sand dunes and riding a camel - all this will be unusual and interesting for a tourist.

Holidays in Dubai with children

If a child is not afraid of hot weather and the active rhythm of a millionaire city, Dubai will welcome him with all the cordiality. There are as many entertainments for children as for adults, we will designate only the most popular of all the possibilities.

For some reason, many tourists have the opinion that Dubai is an option exclusively for recreation in the cold season. But no! On the contrary, Dubai is extremely interested in attracting tourists in the summer, and therefore offers many advantages that are not available in other seasons. In this article, we will debunk all the most popular myths about a summer vacation in Dubai and tell you about the coolest bonuses with which it will delight you.

Myth 1. Summer is hot.

Yes, indeed, on some summer days the temperature in Dubai can reach + 50ºC, but the average summer temperature in Dubai ranges from + 30-35ºC. Due to the fact that the city is actively being built up and landscaped, its microclimate is also changing. It becomes softer and is not much different from the hot days on the Turkish coast, but with air conditioning of premises and public spaces, things are much better here. To relax by the sea during this period, it is better to choose the morning hours, when the sun is not yet at its zenith. In the daytime, you will not be bored either, but let's talk about that further!

Myth 2. Shopping in Dubai is very expensive

Summer is the peak season for shopping malls in Dubai. Every summer, the Dubai Summer Surprises festival is held here, which brings together all of Dubai's shopping malls. In 2021, it will run from June 24 to September 4. The festival consists of 10 thematic "surprise weeks", including "Ice surprises", "Flower surprises", "Culinary surprises", "Arts surprises", "Adventure surprises" and others. The amount of discounts during this period reaches 70%, and in accordance with the theme of the week, entertainment events, promotions and sweepstakes are held.

By the way, shopping in Dubai is profitable anyway. The thing is that in the UAE the duty on the import of goods is only 4%, there is no profit tax, which means that prices here are sometimes even lower than in the country of origin.

Myth Z. Dubai hotels have a shorter schedule

But no. Hotels not only work as usual, but also offer good discounts and bonuses. For example, you can get a room upgrade to a higher class or change meals from breakfast to half board completely free of charge.

In summer, travelers can stay in 5-star hotels for about the same cost as the more modest 4-star option in winter. Some hotels offer discounts up to 65%. Not bad, agree?

Another bonus that awaits tourists is discounts on SPA procedures and visits to SPA centers at hotels. In summer, this is especially useful when you want to freshen up and take a break from the heat. After all, not a single beach! SPA and wellness treatments are a great alternative to going to the beach if the day is hot.

Myth 4. Dubai is too crowded

If you are a lover of secluded relaxation and do not even consider Dubai as a vacation destination due to its crowded population, it is time for you to reconsider your views.

During this period, even on the popular JBR beach, there are fewer people. This trend also applies to other popular places and attractions. The Burj Khalifa Observation Deck and the Dubai Mall Aquarium can be accessed without long lines.

Myth 5. You can't walk

Yes, Dubai does not have long walks in the daytime in summer, but it's a sin to complain about it when there is such a choice of entertainment in the city. Where else in the world can you teleport from summer to winter? In Dubai, this is possible, because here in the Mall of the Emirates there is a real ski resort. In Ski Dubai you can ski, make a snowman, and even see penguins. Both children and adults will be delighted

Another savior from the heat is the IMG World of Adventures indoor amusement park. This is one of the most popular locations in the summer and it comes as no surprise. The park, the size of 28 football fields, offers visitors four themed zones, a huge selection of rides and 20 types of roller coasters of varying degrees of "scary".

Myth 6. It's hot to go sightseeing

Water parks are a real escape from the heat and another important puzzle in the picture of your impressions of Dubai. They are just exceptional here! Among the coolest, we would like to point out Wild Wadi. This themed water park is located next to the famous "sail" - the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. The water park is decorated in the style of traditional Arabian fairy tales, equipped with slides and attractions for adults and children of all ages. For the bravest, there is a 32-meter Jumeirah Sceirah slide, from which you descend at a speed of 80 km / h.

Another favorite is Aquaventure Water Park - one of the best water parks not only in Dubai, but throughout the Middle East and Europe. It is located on the territory of the Atlantis The Palm and is 17 hectares of entertainment and adrenaline. Recently, the entertainment area has been expanded and the water park has become even more impressive. Aquaventure Water Park features the world's tallest waterslide, the world's longest family water attraction and more than 30 exciting slides.

Of course, the list of water parks does not end there. Pay attention also to Yas Waterworld, Laguna Waterpark, Dreamland Aquapark. Study the question and choose the one you like!

Myth 7. Summer desert safari is definitely not worth going.

A daytime safari in summer is really not the best idea, but it is at this time that you have a unique opportunity to go on a night safari. In the evening, the desert is not hot at all, so the trip will be comfortable. "What to do in the desert at night?" - you think. Trust me, this is a very special experience! The adventure begins at sunset: you will ride an SUV across the endless dunes, dine at a Bedouin camp and spend the night in an authentic Bedouin home.

In the morning you will meet the dawn, a sumptuous breakfast and a camel ride. Full immersion in Arabic culture! It is worth noting that night safari programs differ from one travel agency to another, so you can choose the option to your liking and affordable. For example, some programs include abuggy desert safari dubai. 

At the same time, we must warn you about other nuances of summer vacations. So in the UAE, Ramadan will be held - the holy month for all Muslims. Its dates change every year, so sometimes it can also fall out in the summer. This does not particularly affect the tourist life, but it can make adjustments to the working hours of transport and shopping centers. Shopping centers work longer - until one in the morning, and restaurants and cafes located in them - until 2: 00-3: 00. It is better to check the exact traffic schedule on the official website of the carrier or directly at information stands at transport stops.

During this period, you will be able to more touch the local culture. One of the characteristic features of local life at this time is iftar. In Islamic culture, it is customary to eat, drink or smoke during Ramadan during the day, and start eating only after sunset. This evening meal is called Iftar. This is a solemn meal that Muslims share with family and friends.

For even more interesting facts about Dubai's history, local lifestyle and Arab culture, we recommend visiting the Sheikh Mohammed Center for Cultural Understanding. The work of the center is aimed at overcoming the barrier between representatives of different cultures. Here you can chat with locals, taste traditional dishes and find out answers to all your questions about life in the UAE.
