On the threshold of summer

There are no words. Not because there is nothing to say, but just so much has happened that I don’t know where to start. We did not have time to return from the Moscow tourism exhibition MITT-2007, when it was the turn of the annual Arab "travel store" - the international exhibition Arabian Travel Market. Both events are significant for the tourism industry, which in its global scale is second only to oil and gas production and the automotive industry. Over the past five to seven years, Dubai has made such a rapid breakthrough in the development of tourism that today it is simply silly to consider Egypt and Turkey as the main competing destinations.

But, what’s interesting, after the annual spring show of wedding goods held in Dubai on a large scale, the number of new families in the UAE is growing sharply. From ancient times it was customary for the Slavs to arrange weddings in the fall, when the harvest was harvested and it was clear what a young family could live on for a year, but in the East it was the other way around. In the spring. Not sown, not plowed, but they. ... Still, they are not Slavs. Another cultural layer. And there’s nothing to plow here. Desert…

Even in summer, Russian ballet stars and entertainers come to Dubai, thanks to the efforts of "our" organizers - immigrants from the CIS countries. Our regiment arrives! And the life of the Russian-speaking diaspora is becoming more diverse.

Long time no see! Have a good rest in the Emirates. And in the company with us, he promises to be just wonderful ....
