Dubai Canal Teaches People to Yachting

The new attraction of Dubai - the long-awaited Canal - will change the usual way of moving around the city and will inspire more and more people to change to water modes of transport. The concept of the project suggests that the new Channel should become a center for yachting and a tourist attraction. The Department of Roads and Transport (RTA) has recently opened more than 1.6 thousand parking spaces under the Sheikh Zayed Road bridge, in the areas of Business Bay and Safa, as well as along the Canal itself, which allows visitors to leave their car on both sides and ride by ferry or water taxi. The width of the 3.2-kilometer canal in various places is from 80 to 120 m and allows vessels to pass through it up to 32 m in length and 8.5 m in height with a maximum speed of seven knots.

Dubai plans to develop Hatta region

The United Arab Emirates has developed a project for the development of the Hatta resort in Dubai worth 1.3 billion dirhams, providing for its transformation into a first-class tourist destination. The program was launched by the Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE and the ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The plan provides for the achievement of ambitious goals in various sectors, including economic, social and cultural.

Thus, the Department of Roads and Transport is going to build a strategic road between Dubai and the center of the Hatta. Currently, the RTA is also working on a project for the gateway to enter the Hattu, inspired by traditional Arabic architecture. The construction of the first gate should be completed in the first half of 2017. After that, the RTA will continue to improve infrastructure and services in support of future resort development plans.

New Year new life

Finally, the concept of retreats came to the Emirates - remote quiet places dedicated to spiritual practices and healing. The first such project was launched by Alma Retreat - Bedouin Oasis in Ras Al Khaimah. Here you will be helped to calm down, feel connected with nature, relax and engage in self-knowledge. You will have to live in Bedouin tents - comfortable, but ascetic. However, everything else is luxurious: service, teachers and trainers, partner companies, organic food. On weekdays, there will be trainings for groups (usually corporate), and on weekends the retreat is open to all comers. Guests (no more than 30 people at a time) will learn a holistic approach to life. Retreat programs are diverse, but focus on three main topics: Heart, Mind, and Body. All teachers have academic degrees, and trainers have at least ten years of work experience. Contracts have already been made with companies such as Detox Delight, Greenheart Organic Farms, Soul Art Center and Hands in Hope, as well as with several motivational lecturers. The program of stay includes healthy food, meditation, yoga, art therapy, spiritual lectures, energy development. There were still places for the January and February retreats.
