The UAE's Winter Window: Private Tours Worth Booking Early
Winter is the UAE's best season for private touring, and its shortest. Here is what the season opens up, desert, water, island and mountain, and why waiting until December already narrows your choices.
Six Senses The Palm opens on Palm Jumeirah on 1 September 2026: a longevity-led base for a private Dubai stay

Kayaking Al Zorah in Ajman: Flamingos, Fifty Bird Species and a Gentle Paddle
An hour from Dubai, a tidal creek in Ajman hides a belt of wild mangroves where flamingos wade and dozens of bird species move through the canopy. Here is what Al Zorah is like on the water, who it suits and how it differs from the mangroves of Abu Dhabi.
Dubai Air Taxi vs a Private VIP Transfer: Which Wins in 2026
Commercial air taxis are now flying over Dubai, cutting a hotel-to-Palm-Jumeirah hop to a few minutes instead of the usual drive. For a guest already booking a private car and driver for the day, the question is not whether the technology works, it clearly does, but whether it beats the door-to-door comfort a private transfer has always offered. This guide compares the two on speed, status and the practical realities of a VIP itinerary.
What's the difference between the tours in this category?
A private yacht charter gives your whole group a boat to itself for a few hours, speedboats and jet skis are fast, active sessions along the Marina and Palm coastline, and dhow dinner cruises are a calmer evening on the water with dinner included.
How many people can join?
A private yacht charter carries up to 15 guests, speedboat and jet ski sessions suit smaller groups of up to around 8, and dhow dinner cruises work well for both couples and larger parties.
When is the best time to go?
The cooler months from October to April are the most comfortable for a full afternoon on the water, while dhow dinner cruises run year-round since they set out in the cooler evening air.
