Dubai went from a sleepy gulf port to a glittering jewel in a single generation.

The so called city of gold attracts over 17 million visitors a year.

Adverbs of manner

But only a select few get to experience the truly over the top glitz and glamour it has on offer.

We reveal the Emirate as only the super rich get to see it.

We have welcomed Beyonce and Jay Z here at the suite to world class shopping and dining and a desert retreat designed to soothe the soul.

It's a little bit like sleeping in an igloo.

For those who want a five star stay in Dubai, there's no shortage of contenders when it comes to hotels with a price tag to match.

Of course, the sale inspired Burj Al Arab.

Jumeirah is a Dubai icon and as you'd expect, its presidential suite delivers.

One night's stay will set you back a hefty $40,000.

For an even pricier option, there's the Bulgari Resort Dubai where the Bulgari Villa costs 50,000 a night with a seven night minimum stay.

And for the ultimate indulgence, head over to Atlantis the Royal where a single night at the Royal mansion starts at an eye watering $100,000.

Let's take a tour with the hotel's managing director, Tom Rowlands.

This exquisite suite is one of the most exclusive in the world on the sky bridge right here at Lancaster royal.

It has four bedrooms that can extend to a total of 16 bedrooms on the 18th and the 19th floor.

It really reveals itself to you as you discover this magnificent suite.

As you enter your guest room, you'll see quite a few bespoke elements, whether it's the Hermes amenities, whether it's the 800 thread count linen.

We also have have these custom made golden amenities which is the razors, the combs and so forth that are very unique and special to these rooms.

We have a custom made ping pong table for example with Louis Vuitton.

We have also this incredible partnership with Baccarat.

We have a chess in backgammon and we have this incredible high tea trunk that can be used for your high tea experience right here at the resort.

As you open this up, it truly kind of reveals this treasure chest of goodies.

You have your very unique chinaware by Louis Vuitton, silverware and so forth that is very much part and parcel of your experience.

The service really begins before you even arrive.

It begins at the airport where we will be welcoming you either on the tarmac or with chauffeur driven services across to the resort.

You don't actually have to traverse the public areas at the resort to enter the Royal mansion, we have a dedicated elevator service.

We also feature 17 restaurants and bars, which is really the largest collection of celebrity, chef and Michelin star restaurants anywhere on the planet.

So there is a lot to discover and be revealed right here at Atlantis the Royal.

Cementing its position as a travel must, this Emirate boasts a host of shopping options to suit every budget and taste.

For those looking to satiate their fashion fix, there's Dubai Mall, the largest mall in the world with over 1,200 retail outlet all nestled in 1,124,000 square meters of gargantuan grandeur.

For more luxury, head over to the Mall of the Emirates where a ski resort awaits.

If you want respite from all the retail therapy and for an outside experience, take a leisurely stroll along city walk where boutiques, cafes and restaurants come alive at dusk.

So what do the uber rich splash their cash on while in Dubai?

Well, right in front of the tallest building in the world is Emirati 1, which offers its select clientele the chance to buy limited edition watches, purses and cars.

Most of our clients, they are the collectors around the world, we have clients worldwide.

So they are looking always for the limited car and for the special cars.

The price range in our showroom start from $500,000 to US$15 million.

The collectors are very smart, they know what they want to buy to keep it in his garage.

Because always when you choose the car with the limited edition and rare, that's for sure, the value year after year will go up and up and up.

And later on, it's not about the money, it's about availability.

And in very limited supply is this Bugatti divo, unveiled in 2018, there were only 40 ever made.

Depending on demand or if classic is your ride of choice, then this 1950s supercar could be exactly what you're looking for.

This is the 300 SL gullwing Mercedes Benz.

What we have here is the piece of art, the icon of Mercedes Benz.

So this car as well, they have the first wing door, it's open.

The engine, it's six cylinder, 365 horsepower.

And they rebuild all the parts on the car, even from the small screw or the piping or the wiring of this car.

Even if you see the box of the oil here, it's all the parts rebuilt in the original way did not change anything as it was in 1956.

The value of this car now in the moment, it's like 3.5 million US dollar.

Nobody can know where the car this should be maybe 5, maybe 6, maybe 7.

It's a limited production, maybe it's like 1200 cars around the world.

And I think now this is the only one brand new around the world because if you want to make another one brand new, you have to wait three to four years.

After a multi million dollar splurge, it's time to relax, eat and enjoy.

And Dubai has no shortage of culinary treats to suit every budget.

But if you want to go high end, then there are 14 restaurants that have been awarded Michelin stars.

Tresin Studio is an Indian eatery whose tasting menu is described by the Michelin Guide as a masterpiece of originality, intrigue and precision.

If you're looking for dishes the guide describes as perfectly judged and packed with flavor, and

then head over to Stay by Yannick Elleno and Il Restaurante Nico Romito is described as uber cool, stylish and understated.

My name is Pep Lozano and I'm your general manager at the Bulgari resort in Dubai.

Nico Romito is a chef, Italian chef from the region of Abruzzo that works for all Bulgari hotels around the world and creates this unique concept to keep a consistency.

Either you are in China, you are in Dubai, in London or Milan, you have consistency in the ingredients and the food in every single restaurant.

And overseeing the award winning food in the Dubai restaurant is head chef Giacomo Emicucci.

The style of the cuisine, it's very simple and elegant.

We want to bring in every single dish, Italianity, authenticity and great ingredients.

We are really focused on sourcing the best ingredients and give them the work that they deserve to bring the best of the flavor to in every single dish.

So every guest can have a bite of Italy in his mouth.

And the dishes, well, the Michelin guide says they are far more complex than they first appear.

To prove the point, Giacomo cooks us an Italian classic, the Il Restaurante way.

Spaghetti Pomodoro is one of the signature dishes that we have created along with Nicoromito and it's present in every single restaurant in all the Bulgari Tales resorts in the world.

The pasta that we have selected is the Spaghetto, the normal spaghetto, which is a Very rustic touch.

It's thinner than the normal spaghettone because we want to make sure that it respects a lot the simplicity of the sauce, what it's going to be coated with.

Talking about simplicity, talking about Italian pasta, so we are really proud to serve it.

So the Spaghetto pomodoro is very simple.

We will source the best San Marzano tomato when they are at the peak of the season.

We have an amazing producer which will pickle them and will mature them for a while.

After that, we purchase them and they go under a process of desiccations and maturations.

And then finally we obtain a very silky and flavorful paste.

So the tomato water, we will source again the best tomatoes when they are in season, and

we will literally squeeze them to obtain all the.

All the growing the vegetation water that is inside of each tomato, which is a bit more acidic and with that acidity where we cook the pasta with, then it's balanced with the sweetness of the tomato paste itself.

While we are heating up the tomato water, we will pick some fresh basil, which we want to make sure we will flavor a little bit the water like a very light infusion.

The next step after boiling the pastas in the water is finish the cooking into the tomato water itself.

So now it's about time to stir in the pasta and making sure all the starches of the pasta are going out.

And then it's going to combine into a beautiful sauce.

So we'll do that for a couple of minutes until we reach the nice al dente cooking.

And then we'll finish it off with our homemade tomato paste and olive oil.
