The Perfect Blend of Luxury and Adventure: An Unforgettable Fam Trip to Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah
We recently had the incredible opportunity to take part in a four-day fam trip to the United Arab Emirates. Our journey took us to Dubai, the vibrant metropolis, and Ras Al Khaimah, the tranquil gem in the north of the Emirates. Here are our impressions from this fascinating trip!
Dubai: The Ultimate Meeting Destination
Dubai is globally renowned for its luxury, innovation, and limitless possibilities. One look at the skyline makes it clear: this city sets new standards. From world-class hotels to ultra-modern event venues, Dubai offers everything needed for a successful business event.
Luxurious Hotels and Impressive Venues
Dubai boasts a wide range of event hotels – from ultra-luxurious to classic business hotels with a strong focus on meetings.
We were particularly impressed by the following hotels:
Exciting Programs with a Wow Factor
If you’re wondering what to do in Dubai beyond business meetings, you won’t be disappointed. Enjoying a cocktail at the top of the Burj Khalifa – the tallest building in the world – with breathtaking views of the skyline is a must.
For adventure seekers, Dubai offers plenty of thrilling activities, such as an early morning desert safari. We explored the endless dunes in a Land Rover and watched the stunning color play at sunrise – truly a one-of-a-kind experience.
For those who prefer something cultural, we highly recommend a visit to the futuristic Museum of the Future, which captivates with both its architecture and visionary exhibitions.
“Everything is Possible” – The Spirit of Dubai
Dubai lives and breathes the motto “Everything is possible.” For event planners, this means that virtually every wish can be fulfilled. Whether it’s spectacular venues or extraordinary programs – the possibilities in this city are nearly endless. Dubai remains the ultimate hotspot for meetings, conferences, and incentives.
Ras Al Khaimah: Serenity and Adventure
After the buzz of Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah provided the perfect contrast – pure nature, tranquility, and relaxation. Despite its laid-back vibe, this Emirate has a lot to offer, especially for adventurous incentive groups and meetings in extraordinary surroundings.
Between Mountains and Sea: Pure Nature Experiences
Ras Al Khaimah impresses with its wide range of outdoor activities. From watersports to mountain adventures in pleasantly cool temperatures – a welcome change from the desert heat.
One of the highlights was our visit to the Bear Grylls Camp, where we took part in a survival course. From knot-tying techniques to essential survival skills – it was an incredibly engaging experience.
For thrill-seekers, there’s another standout: the world’s longest zipline on Jebel Jais. At over 2.8 kilometers long and speeds of up to 150 km/h, this adrenaline rush won’t be forgotten any time soon.
Exclusive Desert Meetings
Ras Al Khaimah has also established itself as a meeting destination. We were especially impressed by the opportunity to host conferences or meetings in the middle of nature – for example, at The Ritz-Carlton Al Wadi Desert.
Imagine delivering a presentation while gazelles and oryxes pass by just outside. In the evening, you can wind down with a celebration in one of the luxurious villas overlooking the vast desert landscape – a magical experience.
Conclusion: The UAE – Perfect for Meetings and Incentives
Our four-day fam trip to the United Arab Emirates offered the perfect combination of urban luxury and natural beauty. Dubai provides everything one could wish for in a modern meeting destination, while Ras Al Khaimah shines with its natural surroundings and adventurous offerings. Both Emirates present outstanding conditions for meetings, incentives, and unforgettable programs.
