7 Best Luxury Experiences in Dubai You Should Not Miss
Dubai is essentially a man-made oasis in the middle of the desert, transforming the humble fishing village off of Dubai Creek into one of the most modern cosmopolitan cities in the world. It's a not-so-hidden gem in the middle of the Middle East.
It's amazing how many activities you can fit in a day to get the full Dubai experience, isn't it? Anyway, here are seven luxurious ways to experience Dubai luxuriously.
1. Do Some Luxury Custom Shopping at a Shopper's Paradise
You can't really customize shopping unless you're talking about having an online personal profile on Amazon or something, right? However, Dubai somehow makes it work with its approach to shopping. It certainly helps that the world's largest mall in existence is found in Dubai.
The city has become a shopper's paradise with its multitude of shopping malls, designer outlets, and souks galore. You can experience personalized luxury shopping there by hiring a shopping assistant to skip the crowds and take you to curated shopping stops.
2. Slow Things Down with a Luxury Spa Treatment
While some world-weary regular travelers with frequent flier miles might claim that if you've seen one luxury spa you've seen it all, this isn't necessarily the case with Dubai-flavor luxury spa treatments. You'll enter a world of next-level pampering in one of Dubai's signature spas.
Unlike your regular local spas, these Dubai spas deliver world-class pampering that has satisfied customers from all walks of life and from all over the world. It's a de-stressor experience to go to spas like One & Only Royal Mirage Spa or the Park Hyatt Dubai’s Amara Sapphire.

3. Fly with Luxury Hot Balloon Rides, Skydiving, or Ziplines
Dubai is also home to natural scenery ripe for exploration with the Dubai desert safari, classic structures that make up the glass and concrete skyline, and awe-inspiring man-made islands along the Dubai Marina.
You can tour the wide array of Dubai panoramas by availing of a hot balloon ride as part of the Dubai desert safari. You'll get to see both the city and the desert that way.
Or you can take flight into the skies and do a crazy skydiving jump. The XLine Dubai urban zipline is another great pulse-pounding sightseeing option.
4. Experience Luxury Fine Dining at the Flying Cup
The Flying Cup of Dubai is an intriguing luxury fine dining experience. In fact, it's arguably a culinary adventure altogether. You'll get to taste the best that Dubai has to offer in terms of cuisine while also eating "in the sky" because the restaurant is atop a 40-meter platform.
This enables patrons to have clear sightseeing views of city delights such as Palm Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab, and Ai Dubai while they dine with delicious treats like Pizza, Hotdog, or Popcorn in the Sky.

5. Shop for Spices at the Luxurious Spice Souk Market
The Spice Souk in Dubai gives you a sensory and aromatic experience as the city's traditional spice market. For some, it's even sensory overload. You can buy multiple spices so you can try out new recipes and remarkable flavors from Dubai itself.
This market filled to the brim with herbs and spices galore (sold in packets and by weight) is part of your one-day tour, you can save money by buying bulk quantities of ingredients, and the vendors even allow you to haggle for prices.
6. Have a Premium Tour of the Jumeirah Mosque
If you want a taste of the local culture in a religious setting, you should pay Jumeirah Mosque a visit. It's already a part of the first tour, in fact. It was constructed back in 1976 and has been open since 1979. It was constructed in the Fatimid style, which originates from Egypt or Syria.
As a beloved UAE landmark, it has a specific area made especially for tourists known as the Once Upon a Time Museum. It's comparable to the U.S.A.'s Museum of Natural History, but this time you'll get captivating stories and artifacts from the magical Middle East.
7. Indulge in the Creativity of IMG Worlds of Adventure
For the kids, you can go to the IMG Worlds of Adventure amusement destination full of live shows and rides. It's composed of five thematic zones to choose from in one central hub. Your children will love spending time in zones like The Lost World, The Haunted Hotel, or IMG Boulevard.
There are also proprietary brands for two zones available: one for Marvel and its Cinematic Universe and the other for Cartoon Network. Both are beloved icons of childhood for children internationally as well as the children of Dubai locals, so IMG feels it's worthwhile to translate them for its park.
