Before Jadwiga joined these adventures, I had the chance to view this country from a different perspective:<\/p><ul><li class=\"p2\"><b>\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddea <a href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/en\/asia\/united-arab-emirates-first-impressions-from-a-2019-journey\/\">First Journey to the Emirates \u2013 How I Began Exploring the Middle East?<\/a><\/b> Memories from my first visit in 2019 \u2013 full of new impressions and my initial encounters with the culture of this region.<\/li><li class=\"p2\"><b>\ud83e\udda0 <a href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/en\/asia\/united-arab-emirates-traveling-during-the-pandemic\/\">The UAE \u2013 Traveling During the Pandemic.<\/a><\/b> A story from September 2020, when traveling was full of uncertainties, and tourism during COVID-19 looked entirely different.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"p1\">These memories perfectly complement our shared perspective on the UAE and can serve as valuable context for a complete understanding of this fascinating country. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-569529f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"569529f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>How did we get to the Emirates?<\/h2><p class=\"p1\">This time, we chose a direct flight to Dubai (DXB), using Miles &amp; More points. However, in hindsight, I have to admit that the regular price for this connection, approximately 2200 PLN, was quite high compared to the level of comfort provided. LOT Polish Airlines operates this route with narrow-body aircraft, which, to put it mildly, is not the most comfortable option for such a long flight.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">An alternative option could be flying with Wizz Air from Katowice or Krakow to Abu Dhabi \u2013 tickets are cheaper, although the baggage allowance is smaller. I understand airlines need to recover their finances after the pandemic, but as a passenger, I care little about that. After all, I\u2019m paying and expecting at least a decent standard.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Our journey began in Warsaw, but unfortunately, we didn\u2019t land at the main, majestic DXB terminal that leaves a lasting impression. Instead, we ended up at an older terminal that, jokingly speaking, felt like it was designed for \u201cclass B\u201d passengers. There was none of the \u201cwow effect\u201d I had hoped to show Jadzia. Well, it is what it is \u2013 a bit underwhelming!<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Still, the advantage of a non-stop flight can\u2019t be overlooked \u2013 it\u2019s always a time-saver and adds convenience, even if the flight\u2019s overall standard leaves a bit to be desired. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52bd3d9

than during the pandemic. This time, no COVID-19 tests or additional health documents were required \u2013 what a relief!<\/p><p class=\"p1\">When it comes to visas, Polish citizens can enjoy visa-free entry to the UAE. This allows for a tourist stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day period without the need to apply for a visa in advance. All you need is a valid passport, which should be valid for at least six months from your planned date of entry.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The lack of additional formalities definitely simplifies travel planning and allows you to focus on exploring the Emirates.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Visa regulations for citizens of other countries may vary. For example, residents of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are currently required to obtain an electronic visa before traveling to the UAE. This visa allows a 30-day stay with the option to extend it once for an additional 30 days.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d381b54 elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry\" data-id=\"d381b54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-image-gallery-masonry qodef-qi-fslightbox-popup qodef-popup-gallery qodef-image--hover-zoom qodef-qi-grid qodef-layout--qi-masonry qodef-items--fixed qodef-col-num--2 qodef-responsive--predefined\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-grid-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-qi-grid-masonry-sizer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--square\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-046-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-046-650x650.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_square size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_square\" alt=\"Dubai, UAE: tall date palm trees surrounded by bright pink flowers in a landscaped courtyard\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-046-650x650.jpeg 650w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-046-148x148.jpeg 148w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-046-296x296.jpeg 296w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-046-1300x1300.jpeg 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-045-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-045-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"Dubai Article photos view of a historic fort wall and gate in the UAE, with cannons along the walkway\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-045-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-045-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-045-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-045-320x240.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-045-800x600.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-045-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-045-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-045-512x384.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-045-920x690.jpeg 920w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-045-1600x1200.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-045-3200x2400.jpeg 3200w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-045-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-659b7cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"659b7cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Car rental in UAE<\/h2><p class=\"p1\">It couldn\u2019t go without some hiccups.

Getting to the hotel from the airport by metro turned out to be a convenient choice. Only after a few days did I decide to rent a car &#8211; and, of course, managed to mess things up along the way.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">At first, I accidentally booked a car\u2026 in Doha instead of Dubai. Luckily, I realized it quickly, canceled the reservation, and made a new one. The problem? I ended up booking the car for the next day instead of the day we actually needed it. Well done, me! \ud83d\ude05<\/p><p class=\"p1\">When everything seemed ready, I ran into trouble with my credit card \u2013 the bank decided to block it, despite my prior notification about the planned trip. Thankfully, after a lengthy conversation with the Alamo staff and a few phone calls, the issue was resolved. As usual, the security deposit was held on the credit card, while we used Curve for the rental payment.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">We had a Ford Escort with an automatic transmission at our disposal. Picking up the car was smooth, and driving around Dubai and the rest of the UAE was genuinely enjoyable.<\/p><h3>Driver&#8217;s license<\/h3><p class=\"p1\">If you&#8217;re planning to rent a car abroad, be sure to check out our article <b>\ud83d\ude97 <a href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/en\/guides\/car-rental-what-you-need-to-know\/\">How to rent a car and what to look out for.<\/a><\/b> You&#8217;ll find practical tips and information to help you avoid surprises.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Don\u2019t forget that renting a car in the Emirates requires an <b>\ud83e\udeaa <a href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/en\/guides\/what-is-an-international-driving-permit-and-when-is-it-needed\/\">International Driving Permit<\/a><\/b> \u2013 learn more about how to obtain it in our dedicated article.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5f5116 elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry\" data-id=\"e5f5116\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-image-gallery-masonry qodef-qi-fslightbox-popup qodef-popup-gallery qodef-image--hover-zoom qodef-qi-grid qodef-layout--qi-masonry qodef-items--fixed qodef-col-num--3 qodef-responsive--predefined\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-grid-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-qi-grid-masonry-sizer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--landscape\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-001-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-001-1300x650.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape\" alt=\"Silver Ford sedan parked in a Dubai Car rental lot with tall buildings in the background\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-002-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-002-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"UAE, Fujarjah Car rental\u2014car parked on a rocky mountain road between steep canyon walls under cloudy skies\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-002-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-002-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-002-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-002-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-002-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-002-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-002-512x683.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-002-1024x1365.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-002-920x1227.jpeg 920w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-002-1600x2133.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63a715b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"63a715b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"p1\"><b>Problems when returning a car<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3><p class=\"p1\">Returning the car initially seemed to go smoothly &#8211; or so I thought.

The roads are wide, well-maintained, and designed to handle heavy traffic. In cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other major urban areas, the road infrastructure is of a very high standard.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">However, it\u2019s not always as smooth as it seems. Beyond the main cities and highways, you may come across smaller roads, often unpaved, gravel tracks, or rough paths. These types of roads are especially common in the more remote regions of the UAE. They require greater caution and sometimes a suitable vehicle, particularly if you plan to explore mountainous or desert areas.<\/p><h3 class=\"p1\"><b>Traffic regulations in the UAE<\/b><\/h3><ul><li class=\"p1\"><b><\/b><b>Speed limits: <\/b> On smaller streets, the limit is 40 km\/h, on main roads, it ranges from 60-80 km\/h, and on highways, it\u2019s 100-120 km\/h.<\/li><li class=\"p1\"><b>Alcohol and driving: <\/b> The United Arab Emirates enforces a zero-tolerance policy for alcohol in a driver\u2019s system. Driving under the influence of alcohol is strictly penalized.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"p1\">On the roads, it\u2019s common to encounter drivers frequently changing lanes without signaling, especially in heavy traffic. There are also instances of vehicles significantly exceeding the speed limit &#8211; particularly luxury cars, which are abundant in the UAE.<\/p><h3 class=\"p1\"><b>Navigation and unforeseen road changes<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3><p class=\"p1\">Using navigation is essential but not always foolproof. Due to the rapid development of infrastructure, navigation systems may sometimes fail to update maps in time. There are instances where newly constructed roads intersect with existing ones, blocking access\u2014I experienced this firsthand. In such situations, it\u2019s crucial to stay flexible and be prepared for detours.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec1c727 elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry\" data-id=\"ec1c727\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-image-gallery-masonry qodef-qi-fslightbox-popup qodef-popup-gallery qodef-image--hover-zoom qodef-qi-grid qodef-layout--qi-masonry qodef-items--fixed qodef-col-num--3 qodef-responsive--predefined\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-grid-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-qi-grid-masonry-sizer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--square\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-003-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-10\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-003-650x650.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_square size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_square\" alt=\"UAE, Fujarjah car rental: silver sedan on a mountain road with a Beware Flood police sign\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-003-650x650.jpeg 650w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-003-148x148.jpeg 148w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-003-296x296.jpeg 296w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-003-1300x1300.jpeg 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--landscape\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-004-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-10\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-car-rental-004-1300x650.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape\" alt=\"UAE, Fujarjah car rental road with palm trees and a heavy vehicle crossing sign\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9631261 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9631261\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"p1\"><b>Speed cameras and inspections<\/b><\/h3><p class=\"p1\">Speed cameras in the UAE are ubiquitous, found on highways as well as in urban areas.

These photos are taken for monitoring purposes and do not automatically result in a fine.

integrated with other public transport modes like the metro and trams. The network connects major districts with less frequented areas, making it useful for reaching locations beyond the metro\u2019s reach.<\/p><h4 class=\"p1\"><b>Dubai<\/b><b><\/b><\/h4><p class=\"p1\">In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agoda.com\/partners\/partnersearch.aspx?pcs=1&amp;cid=1933139&amp;hl=pl-pl&amp;city=2994\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dubai<\/a>, buses are managed by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). The fleet is modern, air-conditioned, and on some routes, you can find Solaris buses manufactured in Bolechowo near Pozna\u0144, Poland. The buses are equipped with information screens and comfortable seating. To use them, you need a Nol card, which serves as a payment method for all public transport.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udc49 <em>For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitdubai.com\/en\/plan-your-trip\/getting-to-and-around-dubai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visit Dubai<\/a>.<\/em><\/p><h4>Abu Dhabi<\/h4><p class=\"p1\">Buses in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agoda.com\/partners\/partnersearch.aspx?pcs=1&amp;cid=1933139&amp;hl=pl-pl&amp;city=10182\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abu Dhabi<\/a> provide extensive coverage, connecting both the city and intercity destinations.

Although the system is relatively young, having opened in 2009, it immediately impresses with its modernity and organization. For someone accustomed to European metro systems like those in Paris or Berlin, the Dubai Metro feels more sterile, spacious, and\u2026 just different.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">To start with, the Dubai Metro is fully automated. No drivers. The trains glide along the tracks on their own, and the view from the front of the train (especially in Gold Class, but more on that later) is something you won\u2019t easily find in other metro systems around the world. Everything runs like clockwork \u2013 regular schedules, cleanliness on the stations and inside the trains, and air-conditioned platforms, which is an absolute necessity in Dubai\u2019s climate.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The system includes two main lines:<\/p><ul><li class=\"p2\"><b>\ud83d\udd34 The Red Line <\/b> across through the entire city, from the airport (Centrepoint station) to Expo City, passing major landmarks such as Burj Khalifa and Dubai Marina.<\/li><li class=\"p2\"><b>\ud83d\udfe2 The Green Line<\/b> is shorter and serves the older districts, such as Deira and Al Karama.<\/li><\/ul><p>Both lines intersect at two major transfer stations \u2013 Union and BurJuman \u2013 making it easy to switch routes.<\/p><h4 class=\"p1\"><b>Cabins &#8211; luxury or space for everyone?<\/b><b><\/b><\/h4><p class=\"p1\">People love class divisions \u2013 and the metro is no exception. There are three types of cabins:<\/p><ul><li class=\"p2\"><b>Gold Class<\/b> \u2013 luxurious cabins with comfortable seats and panoramic views from the front of the train. It feels a bit like business class on a plane.<\/li><li class=\"p2\"><b>Cabins for women and children<\/b><\/li><li class=\"p2\"><b>General Cabins<\/b> \u2013 where most passengers travel. Compared to European standards, these cabins are still spacious and impeccably clean.<\/li><\/ul><p>\ud83d\udc49 <em>You can read more at <a

The terminal offers booths of major telecommunication operators such as Etisalat, du, and Virgin Mobile, providing various tourist packages. The process is simple: just show your passport, choose the appropriate plan, and make the payment. However, it\u2019s worth noting that according to UAE telecommunication regulations, only one SIM card or eSIM can be issued per passport.<\/p><h3 class=\"p1\"><b>WiFi Calling &#8211; avoiding high costs<\/b><\/h3><p class=\"p1\">The United Arab Emirates is a country where international calls using a Polish number can be extremely expensive. Roaming charges for calls can amount to several PLN per minute, which can quickly lead to high costs during longer conversations.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">For this reason, it\u2019s worth using WiFi Calling if your provider supports this feature. Calls made via WiFi are significantly cheaper or even free, depending on your tariff plan. Most hotels, cafes, and shopping malls offer free WiFi, allowing you to communicate with family and friends without incurring additional costs.<\/p><h3>However, there is one thing&#8230;<\/h3><p class=\"p1\">Authorities in the UAE have long blocked services such as FaceTime, WhatsApp, and Skype, preventing users from making voice and video calls through these apps. These restrictions are tied to telecommunication regulations and national security concerns.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">As a result, using these features may be challenging or even impossible, especially when relying on apps that are restricted. While some services might still work, many remain inaccessible without additional tools like a VPN. However, it\u2019s important to note that using a VPN in the UAE is legally regulated, and unauthorized use could result in legal consequences.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a5c3d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry\" data-id=\"7a5c3d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-image-gallery-masonry qodef-qi-fslightbox-popup qodef-popup-gallery qodef-image--hover-zoom qodef-qi-grid qodef-layout--qi-masonry qodef-items--fixed qodef-col-num--2 qodef-responsive--predefined\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-grid-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-qi-grid-masonry-sizer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--square\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-051-mfrh-original-scaled.jpg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-16\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-051-650x650.jpg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_square size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_square\" alt=\"Dubai skyline with tall skyscrapers, including the blue-lit UA Rty building, along a wide highway with pink flowers\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-051-650x650.jpg 650w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-051-148x148.jpg 148w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-051-296x296.jpg 296w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-051-1300x1300.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-052-mfrh-original-scaled.jpg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-16\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-052-mfrh-original-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"Dubai skyline with modern high-rise apartments and palm-lined streets in the UAE\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-052-mfrh-original-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-052-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-052-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-052-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-052-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-052-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-052-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-052-512x384.jpg 512w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-052-920x690.jpg 920w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-052-1600x1200.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-052-3200x2400.jpg 3200w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-052-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc37e0b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dc37e0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Food<\/h2><p class=\"p1\">Emirati cuisine is a fascinating blend of Middle Eastern, Asian, and African flavors.

Fast food enthusiasts will find familiar chains like McDonald\u2019s, KFC, and Subway, offering menus slightly different from those in Europe, tailored to local tastes.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">During our trip, we mainly focused on exploring local flavors. Jadzia particularly enjoyed chicken dishes \u2013 her go-to culinary choice. I, on the other hand, ventured into more diverse options, including shawarma and kofta, both of which are readily available on nearly every corner.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Of course, we couldn\u2019t skip the classic Starbucks coffee. In the UAE, this chain is incredibly popular, with cafes located both in shopping malls and along main streets. Prices are comparable to those in Poland.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-520df82 elementor-widget

Middle East region, which has also been operating in the United Arab Emirates for several years. Originating from Saudi Arabia, it enjoys immense popularity, evident in the long queues often stretching throughout the entire restaurant.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The food is decent\u2014nothing that will blow your mind, but worth a try if you\u2019re in the mood for something simple and with a regional vibe. \ud83c\udf57<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0efeed3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0efeed3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Exchange office or ATM?<\/h2><p class=\"p1\">In the United Arab Emirates, withdrawing cash from an ATM is definitely a more convenient option than searching for dirhams in a Polish exchange office. Every time I\u2019ve been here\u2014whether alone or with Jadzia\u2014we used local ATMs. They are widely available, both in major cities and less frequented locations.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Most ATMs in the UAE do not charge additional fees for cash withdrawals, but it\u2019s always worth checking during the transaction. Usually, the screen will display a notification if any fee is to be applied. Based on my experience, using a currency card can save you a lot\u2014avoiding unfavorable exchange rates at currency exchanges or when paying in your home currency.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">When it comes to card payments, we had no issues\u2014whether at gas stations, restaurants, or shops. However, it\u2019s a good idea to have some cash on hand, especially in smaller towns or local markets.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ada2d92 elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry\" data-id=\"ada2d92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-image-gallery-masonry qodef-qi-fslightbox-popup qodef-popup-gallery qodef-image--hover-zoom qodef-qi-grid qodef-layout--qi-masonry qodef-items--fixed qodef-col-num--3 qodef-responsive--predefined\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-grid-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-qi-grid-masonry-sizer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--landscape\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-001-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-18\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-001-1300x650.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape\" alt=\"Abu Dhabi skyline with modern hotel towers and a visitor taking a photo in the foreground\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-000-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-18\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-000-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"Grand mosque in Abu Dhabi, UAE with domed roof, flagpoles, and ornate lamps in a sunny courtyard\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-000-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-000-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-000-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-000-320x240.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-000-800x600.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-000-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-000-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-000-512x384.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-000-920x690.jpeg 920w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-000-1600x1200.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-000-3200x2400.jpeg 3200w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-abu-dhabi-000-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6ec4e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e6ec4e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Climate and weather conditions<\/h2><p class=\"p1\">The heat in the United Arab Emirates is something to consider, especially if you\u2019re visiting during the summer. Temperatures often exceed 40\u00b0C, and with high humidity, it can be exhausting. Dubai and Abu Dhabi, as the most developed emirates, have infrastructure adapted to these conditions \u2013 air-conditioned corridors between metro stations, bus stops, and shopping malls, which become a refuge on hot days.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The best time to visit is during the winter months, from November to March, when the temperatures are more bearable \u2013 usually ranging between 25\u201330\u00b0C during the day. Evenings can be cooler, so it\u2019s perfect for leisurely walks, sightseeing, or just enjoying the atmosphere without the need to hide from the sun.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">However, the Emirates are not just about Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In the less developed emirates, the infrastructure is not as advanced. Many places have typical bus stops or pedestrian walkways familiar to us, and people simply adapt their lifestyle to the weather conditions. During the day, when temperatures reach 40-50\u00b0C, activity almost comes to a halt. Locals hide indoors, and life starts again in the evening when the air becomes slightly more bearable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

The first thing that stands out is the general order and the absence of typical \u201cthreats\u201d that we are used to encountering in Europe. No one is watching to see if you\u2019re guarding your backpack, and your wallet or phone left on the table at a restaurant is unlikely to disappear, even if you step away for a moment.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Dubai and Abu Dhabi are cities that truly invest in security. This is evident in every detail \u2013 from surveillance cameras in key locations to innovative technologies, such as autonomous patrols. On social media, especially on TikTok, you can find plenty of videos showcasing daily life in the Emirates \u2013 police officers in luxury cars or organized operations aimed at maintaining order. And no, it\u2019s not just for show \u2013 this system works.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">When it comes to the locals, the situation is a bit more complex. Strict regulations and penalties are no myth. Any violation of the rules \u2013 from loud arguments in public places, offensive gestures, to inappropriate behavior on social media \u2013 can result in hefty fines or even deportation. What might seem harsh to us is actually aimed at maintaining order in the Emirates. For tourists, this is a huge advantage, but for residents, especially those from more liberal cultures, living here requires adjustment and a great deal of caution.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d169cd5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry\" data-id=\"d169cd5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-image-gallery-masonry qodef-qi-fslightbox-popup qodef-popup-gallery qodef-image--hover-zoom qodef-qi-grid qodef-layout--qi-masonry qodef-items--fixed qodef-col-num--3 qodef-responsive--predefined\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-grid-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-qi-grid-masonry-sizer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--landscape\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-060-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-20\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-060-1300x650.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape\" alt=\"Woman in blue light in Dubai aquarium tunnel at UAE, with visitors walking behind her\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-059-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-20\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-059-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"Dubai skyline along a multi-lane highway with high-rise buildings under a cloudy sky\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-059-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-059-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-059-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-059-320x240.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-059-800x600.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-059-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-059-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-059-512x384.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-059-920x690.jpeg 920w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-059-1600x1200.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-059-3200x2400.jpeg 3200w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/uae-dubai-059-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ad6f1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ad6f1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Places we visited in the UAE<\/h2><p class=\"p1\">Instead of telling you everything here, it\u2019s better if you check out our separate posts, where we\u2019ve detailed what we managed to see.

coexist with deep social inequalities. Beneath the shiny facade of skyscrapers and luxury malls lies the reality in which many migrant workers endure conditions that resemble modern-day slavery.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The majority of the population in the UAE consists of migrant workers, primarily from South Asia and Africa. They are the ones building the impressive skyscrapers of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, working in hotels, restaurants, and serving the homes of wealthy residents. Unfortunately, their contribution to the country\u2019s development often comes at the cost of basic human rights.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Many workers are employed under the kafala system, which ties their legal status to their employer. This means they cannot change jobs or leave the country without their employer\u2019s consent. This system leads to numerous abuses, such as passport confiscation, unpaid wages, and being forced to work in dangerous conditions.<\/p><h3>Living conditions<\/h3><p class=\"p1\">Migrant workers often live in overcrowded and neglected labor camps, with limited access to medical care and other essential services. They work in extreme climatic conditions, exposed to high temperatures, which leads to numerous health issues and even fatalities.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Under international pressure, the UAE has introduced some reforms, such as removing the requirement for employer consent to change jobs. However, in practice, many of these changes remain on paper, and migrant workers continue to face systemic abuses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

cutting-edge technology, and spectacular tourist attractions, while on the other, deeply entrenched social inequalities that are hard to ignore. Although the UAE presents itself as a nation of success and modernity, the reality for many migrant workers is far from this image. Social inequalities are deeply rooted, and labor rights are often disregarded. In the 21st century, such practices are unacceptable and require urgent action from both the UAE authorities and the international community.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The United Arab Emirates is undoubtedly a fascinating place. Whether you\u2019re looking for modern architecture, unique flavors of local cuisine, or historical corners, there\u2019s something for everyone here. The UAE has become a model of development for other countries in the region that also seek to attract tourists and investors.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">However, this rapid progress should be accompanied by cultural and mental changes. It is impossible to build a future based on outdated social patterns. Women should not be viewed solely as domestic helpers, and migrant workers should not be treated as cheap labor without basic rights. Economic and technological development must go hand in hand with equality and respect for all people, regardless of their origin or gender.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The UAE is a place worth visiting, but also reflecting on what lies behind the facade of success.
