FEW UNDERSTAND GLITZ and glamour better than Dubai. In a report by Henley & Partners, this Emirati megacity clinched the top spot as Middle East’s wealthiest city in 2023. It’s not surprising that this sun-soaked metropolis also extends its opulent offerings to the millions of tourists that visit the city every year.
Begin your vacation by looking at the city from a different perspective–literally! Get a bird’s-eye view of Dubai by taking off on a private helicopter tour with the region’s first dedicated luxury helicopter service (helicoptertourdubai.com). Ranging from 12 minutes to 60 minutes, this aerial adventure takes you over the heart of the city and the Palm, all the way to the desert beyond city limits. Similar vantage points await at AURA (auraskypool.com), the world’s highest 360° infinity pool at 200 metres. It boasts unobstructed views of the city’s skyline, Palm Jumeriah, and the Arabian Gulf’s horizon. Or head to At.mosphere (atmosphereburjkhalifa.com), an exclusive fine dining restaurant that celebrates modern French cuisine on level 122 of the world’s tallest building—Burj Khalifa.
