Dream destination Emirates

Tailor-made dream trips with Luxury Dreams

5 unforgettable highlights that leave us amazed: Simply Fascinating - There are places in the world that exert such a unique magic that even well-travelled globetrotters succumb to their special spell time and time again. The United Arab Emirates is undoubtedly one of these magical destinations. Where else do dazzling skylines rise out of endless desert landscapes, constant change meets a centuries-old heritage and the sparkling blue of the Arabian Gulf meets golden sand dunes? It is the contrasts that surprise and yet appear wonderfully harmonious that make this place so unique.

One person who is always enchanted by the charm of the Emirates is the well-known travel expert Michael Kern, who runs the lifestyle and luxury travel company Luxury Dreams together with Marcel Kern. Here, luxurious dream trips are created to measure, designed according to the special wishes of discerning travelers - comprehensive concierge services and unusual ideas included. "The focus is always on the all-round carefree feeling of our customers paired with unique experiences. Personal recommendations, curated details, insider tips and Luxury Dreams Services transform must-dos into individual vacation highlights with a WOW effect. With a symphony of style, service and sensation, our aim is always to create an exclusive travel experience that doesn't shout loudly, but seduces in a whisper," says Michael Kern.

Essential for success is the sense for trends and the sensitivity for extraordinary moments of experience that you won't find in any travel guide. The two have countless exclusive travel and insider tips to offer worldwide, but the United Arab Emirates is one of Michael Kern's favorite destinations. "The development of tourism in the Emirates has fascinated me for over 30 years now. It is this mixture of unexpected facets, the impressive superlatives, the dynamism and the pursuit of the extraordinary that inspires me time and time again."

We asked the travel professional about his personal big five luxury vacation destinations from Dubai to Abu Dhabi. Here are his recommendations:

1. Indulgence that reaches for the stars
Unforgettable: the highest restaurant in the world, the "At.mosphere" on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa. While the sophistication of French cuisine with an international twist is celebrated on the plate, the sparkling Dubai skyline stretches out below. 442 meters above the ground, there is a fine hint of truffle in the air, perfectly grilled fillets of Wagyu beef are served and artful desserts enchant as a sweet finale. Michael Kern says: "It's like dining among the stars - the perfect symbiosis of culinary extravagance and a view that takes your breath away." Getting a reservation at such an extraordinary culinary hotspot can be a challenge. It goes without saying that the Luxury Dreams concierge service takes care of this for its guests!





2nd futuristic cultural journey
The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi is due to open in 2025. Even before the official opening, the contemporary refuge is captivating culture lovers from all over the world. Inside, modern masterpieces are waiting to show their faces to the world. The anticipation of the unveiling of the art collection has a magical quality for Michael Kern. He wants his customers to be among the first to experience the new hallowed halls of modern art. The luxury tour operator really does have a knack for seeking out exclusive cultural highlights and making them accessible to his guests in a very special way.

3. Experience for the senses
Few things speak to the spirit as directly as a unique fragrance - in Dubai, the world of perfume is deeply rooted in cultural tradition. In the desert metropolis, fragrances are not only worn, but celebrated. On the road with Luxury Dreams, olfactory treasure troves open up as you visit the city's most renowned perfumers. Under expert guidance, the traditional essences of Emirati culture are revealed. "Fragrances keep memories alive, every nuance resonates with a very personal echo," says Kern enthusiastically.





4. I Do, I Do, I Do - getting married over the Al Marmoom desert
Getting married on the beach or at an Italian winery - nice, but nothing new. Couples looking for something special can get married in a hot air balloon over the Al Marmoom desert. The intimate wedding ceremony begins early in the morning, while the first rays of sunlight bathe the dunes in a golden glow. The vehicle rises gently into the sky and the endless expanse of the desert spreads out beneath the bride and groom. The higher they climb, the more breathtaking the surrounding panorama becomes. Surrounded by complete silence and the beauty of nature, the lovers finally say "I do". After a soft landing, a romantic champagne breakfast awaits in the middle of the desert landscape - we say yes to that too! "It's about creating experiences that are second to none. Our target group is discerning and has already seen a lot. For us, it is very clear that we wanted to offer something extraordinary, especially for special occasions. This could be a private wedding celebration in an unforgettable location or a children's birthday party in a spectacular theme park such as Warner Bros. World in Abu Dhabi," says Michael Kern.

5. Island hopping with a difference
Abu Dhabi may be known for its impressive skyscrapers and lavish luxury hotels, but have you ever thought about exploring the diverse island paradise surrounding Abu Dhabi? With exclusive island hopping, guests can immerse themselves in the pure beauty of nature. On "Dolphine Island", for example, you can admire lively dolphins in their natural habitat. The unique excursion culminates on a remote island, where a private BBQ is served in the open air. And when the sun disappears over the horizon, it's the perfect time to swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Arabian Gulf. "It's out-of-the-box ideas like these that we surprise our guests with when planning their trip," smiles Michael Kern.





There are still many secrets and special experiences to amaze us in the United Arab Emirates. So stay tuned for more insider tips on unique hotels, extraordinary activities and hidden places!
