The vessel’s construction initially started for Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei but it was halted.
In 2001 the hull built by Blohm + Voss was sold to Platinum Yachts who then completed the project and named it Dubai.
The superyacht that can reach speeds of 29mph also features an impressive staircase with glass steps that change colour, a barbecue area, a gym and a nightclub.
Visitors can enjoy the sun in one of the many sunbathing areas such as the mosaic swimming pool or the stunning Jacuzzis.

Megayacht Azzam is up for sale for a whopping $600million after it took the record for the world’s most lucrative vessel when it was constructed in 2013.
