The modern lifestyle presents a serious danger to our physical and emotional well-being, particularly in terms of digital addiction. InsureMyTrip recently published a research on cities that actively encourage digital detoxification, placing Dubai eighth internationally owing to its vast selection of activities that allow tourists to unplug from digital gadgets. Dubai has made a commitment to being a mental health-friendly city known for its relaxation and leisure possibilities, as well as a centre for investment, innovation, and hard work.

Dubai has a wide range of activities to suit all tastes and ages, including parks, gardens, exhibits, museums, resorts, retail complexes, desert excursions, festivals, and sports. These encourage visitors to disconnect from their devices, lowering the risk of screen addiction and the psychological and behavioral challenges that accompany it, such as anxiety, sadness, loneliness, attention difficulties, eating disorders, and self-confidence concerns.

Experts recommend specific measures to counteract the negative effects of social media and other addictive apps, such as setting a specific time of day for device usage, using mental memory rather than phone memory for appointments, ensuring active participation in activities rather than focusing on discussing them through communication means, and keeping phones at a distance during social and family gatherings.

It is worth noting that the cities that are most active in encouraging digital detoxification have a great heritage, monuments, and social life. These cities, in addition to Dubai, include Prague, Rome, Lisbon, Marrakesh, Madrid, and Stockholm.
