Experience
The finest luxury experiences in the Middle East go far beyond the hotel: Formula 1 under the lights, private dinners in the dunes, museums by the world's great architects, and an events calendar that now rivals any region on earth.

Sport, culture and the desert
The region hosts five Formula 1 Grand Prix races on the 2027 calendar, from Bahrain's season opener in March to the Abu Dhabi finale in December, with Istanbul returning in October 2027. Golfers will find championship courses from Dubai to Belek in our guide to the best golf courses.
For culture, see the great museums, from the Louvre Abu Dhabi to the Grand Egyptian Museum, along with galleries and auction houses and music venues. For the desert, nothing beats a private desert safari with falcons, dune drives and dinner under the stars.
Some doors open only with the right introduction: private access and VIP experiences, private members' clubs and luxury weddings in palaces, on beaches and in the desert. For restoration, see spa and wellness retreats; for families, theme parks on Yas Island and beyond.
