Dreaming of a 1001 Nights lifestyle, gold Lamborghinis and private beaches? You don’t have to be a sheikh to feel like royalty in the Emirates! I’m taking you on a journey through the most luxurious attractions that will make your day look like something out of an Aladdin – only without a flying carpet (unless we take a helicopter!).

🏖️ Luxury Emirati style – what to do when you want to feel like a VIP?

Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah – in the United Arab Emirates, luxury is not an accessory, it is a lifestyle. Here, caviar is served for breakfast, and the sunset is watched from the deck of a yacht with champagne in hand. For those who want to feel like a sheikh – even for one day – I have prepared a list of the TOP 5 luxury trips in the Emirates , which combine spectacular views, unique experiences and a touch of extravagance.

🥇 1. Private yacht cruise in Dubai marina

Picture this: You, the sunset, the glittering skyscrapers of Dubai, and the deck of a luxury yacht serving fresh seafood while your favorite playlist plays in the background.

• Price: from approx. AED 800 for 2 hours (with captain, staff and snacks)
• What’s in the package? Luxury, relaxation, “Instagram-worthy” photos and envious glances from the promenade.
• Tip: Book in the early afternoon – golden hour for photos and an empty marina!

📸 Pro tip: Take a long stick to your phone – the view of Dubai from the water and air is mind-blowing.

🥈 2. Helicopter flight over Palm Jumeirah and Burj Khalifa

There is nothing more “WOW” than flying over Dubai in a helicopter – seriously, you will feel like a movie star flying to a premiere in Cannes.

• Trasa: Palma Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa i The World Islands
• Time: 12 to 45 minutes
• Price: from approx. 800 AED/person

🎥 Fun fact: This is the helicopter Tom Cruise jumped from in Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol. You can feel just as epic (no jumping, no worries!).

🥉 3. VIP 4×4 Safari with Dinner at a Private Desert Camp

A “desert safari” version, but instead of a shared tent – a private chill-out zone under the stars with a waiter, Arabic dinner and a belly dancing show just for you.

• Car with driver straight from the hotel
• A quiet, isolated part of the desert
• Options: date juice, shisha, falafel, and even a hawk on your hand

🐫 Storytime: One of my clients asked his partner to marry him here. She said yes between hummus and henna. The vibe is there!

🏅 4. Full-day trip to Qasr Al Watan – the presidential palace in Abu Dhabi

If you have always been fascinated by royal interiors and “opulent opulence”, then Qasr Al Watan will literally awe you. It is not a palace – it is a dream palace.

• Transportation from Dubai by limousine or helicopter? Yes!
• Tour the throne room, library and courtyards larger than football pitches
• Dinner at the nearby Emirates Palace? Why not!

💡 Pro tip: Stay until the evening – the light shows at the palace are magical.

🎖️ 5. Stay at a luxury island resort – e.g. Zaya Nurai Island

Luxury in the Emirates also means escaping the hustle and bustle to a private island. Zaya Nurai is a tropical paradise 15 minutes by boat from Abu Dhabi.

• Private villa with pool, ocean within reach
• Jungle spa, brunch under palm trees and zero tourist noise
• The perfect place for a “total reset”

🌴 Ciekawostka: Many Hollywood celebrities visit this island after the Dubai Film Festival – undercover, but it’s known who they are 😉

✨ Conclusion – You too can live like a sheikh (even for one day!)

You don’t need a Swiss bank account to experience something truly luxurious. The Emirates offer unforgettable experiences that are worth the price – because life is made up of moments that we remember forever. And a yacht ride or dinner in the desert are definitely among them.
