Your home base in Dubai will be Atlantis The Royal, the new iconic landmark of Dubai. Crafted by the world’s leading designers, architects and artists, this is a destination where everything has been designed to challenge the boundaries of imagination. You’ll stay in a spacious Junior Sky View Suite with 24-hour room service and butler service.

Your exposure to the high points of the United Arab Emirates will go beyond the boundaries of Dubai itself. You’ll spend a full day in Abu Dhabi, capital of the UAE and the largest city in the region after Dubai, located on an island in the Persian Gulf. Highlights of your visit will include the Louvre Abu Dhabi, a cultural collaboration with France, encompassing 260,000 square feet with 86,000 square feet of galleries; the Presidential Palace of Qasr Al Watan, opened to the public in 2019; and the government-sponsored development of Emirati Houses. During a visit to the tourism project of Yas Island, you can stop at Ferrari World Park and ride the world’s fastest rollercoaster.

You’ll visit the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah and tour Suwaidi Pearls, the only Arabian pearl farm in the world. Established in 2004 in the small fishing village of Al Rams, the facility is now farming Arabian pearls in the surrounding seas; you’ll get to see the process up close in a traditional fishing boat.

Back in Dubai, you’ll have a backstage visit at the Dubai Opera, a 2,000-seat performing arts center that hosts theater, opera, ballet, concerts and exhibitions. You’ll get a close-up view of the desert when you dine at the Magic Camp, a luxurious glamping outpost that offers a customized menu. After a personalized shopping trip, you’ll visit the Spice Souk, a traditional market with a colorful, aromatic and sensory experience. As you sip cocktails from the 123rd floor at Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, you’ll watch the sun set over the city of Dubai and marvel at all the wonders you’ve seen.

Your highest bid will secure a once-in-a-lifetime visit to one of the most exotic destinations on earth and make life better for our neediest children.
