Dubai is known for doing things bigger, better and over the top. Its outrageous fixation with luxury is next to none, and a vacation here might just burn a hole through your wallet. We’ve compiled a list of the most expensive, ostentatious things you can do with your money in Dubai.

24-Carat Gold Facial: $6,800

Jumeirah Zabeel Saray

This treatment at the award-winning Talise Ottoman Spa will set you back a whopping $6,800 and is said to transform skin into a smoother, brighter, younger-looking version of itself. Is it worth covering your face in a 24-carat gold chain mail mask?

Most Expensive Hotel Suite: $37,845/night

Atlantis Royal Bridge Suite

This three-bedroom luxury suite sleeps six and features three incredible underwater suites, a lounge, a private balcony, a private dining room and more. Stars such as Kim Kardashian and the women on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have been known to stay here.

Most Expensive Cocktail $7,438

DME Cocktail – Skyview Bar

This impressive cocktail includes a 55-year-old Scottish single malt, ice cubes made from water from the Macallan Distillery in Scotland and an oak stirrer made from one of the casks. Of course, it is also served in an 18-carat gold glass, yours for the taking once the drink is finished.

Most Expensive Ice Cream $817

Scoopi Café

This decadent dish is considered the world’s most expensive ice cream and, at $816, it better be good. The Black Diamond dessert is a simple Madagascar vanilla bean ice cream with Italian truffles, rare ambrosial Iranian saffron and 24-carat edible gold flakes.
