A dune suite, a private dinner and a sky full of stars for two. A private, tailored journey of 5-6 days in The Empty Quarter, United Arab Emirates, designed end to end by a Forest Travel advisor — with Virtuoso privileges at the finest luxury hotels, from US$15,000 per traveler.
A country where the vertical glamour of the city, the quiet of the dunes and the warmth of the Gulf are all within a private morning's reach.
When to go
November through March, when the desert cools into clear, temperate days and long golden evenings by the Gulf. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.
The experiences
A sense of what this journey can hold — each one arranged privately and shaped to you:
- Retreat to a dune suite for two, the great desert falling away in gold beyond the terrace.
- Watch the sun set from a private ridge with nothing between you and the horizon but sand.
- Share a private dinner laid out under the stars, the fire and the silence yours alone.
- Wake to the dunes catching the first light, the whole of the Empty Quarter still asleep.
A sense of the rhythm
The days keep only the tempo the two of you choose, the great desert asking nothing, the hours soft and entirely your own from dawn to the deep quiet of night.
Why the desert for two
Nowhere else offers such vast and tender solitude, the Empty Quarter turning romance into something as boundless as the sand.
How to do it well
The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:
- Set the private dinner for the hour after sunset, when the sky deepens to its darkest.
- The winter months make the terrace and the evenings a pleasure for two.
- Ask for a suite set apart so the horizon and the stars belong to you alone.
- Leave the days unplanned, for the desert rewards those who simply stay still.
What only your advisor can open
The difference between a good trip and an unrepeatable one is access — and access is a relationship, not a booking. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you.
Who it's for
Travelers who value privacy, time and doing it once — beautifully — and who would rather have one trusted advisor orchestrate every detail than assemble it themselves.
Estimated investment
From US$15,000 per traveler, based on double occupancy — scaled to your dates, party size and level of privacy. A starting point, not a final quote; confirmed once your advisor tailors the itinerary.
Designed entirely around you
Nothing here is a package. A Forest Travel advisor shapes the whole journey and stays one message away before and throughout your trip.
Your Virtuoso privileges
As a Virtuoso member, Forest Travel includes benefits reserved for Virtuoso guests at the finest luxury hotels, at no added cost: a room upgrade on arrival when available, daily breakfast for two, a property credit toward dining or spa, and early check-in with late check-out when the hotel allows.
