The journey begins at Al Wasl Marine Transport Station, boarding a high-speed boat to the iconic World Islands. As the boat races across the Arabian Gulf, the story of... how these islands were built unfolds — a bold vision of recreating the world map in the sea.
The first stop is VOCO Monaco. From the very first step, it feels like stepping into Europe — colorful streets, unique architecture, and the surprise of Rain Street, where it drizzles even under Dubai’s bright sun.
From there, a boat ride takes you across the island clusters, passing stunning recreations of European destinations like Sweden’s floating palaces, Venice-style canals, and other themed spaces that make up The Heart of Europe. Each one reflects authentic design and atmosphere from across the continent.
The next stop is the Coral Institute — a fascinating initiative focused on marine conservation. Here, coral regeneration and marine ecosystem research are done with futuristic vision and purpose.
Then comes one of the most breathtaking highlights — the Floating Seahorse Villa, a luxurious residence with a spacious open deck above water and a serene underwater bedroom below. Seeing this kind of engineering and comfort combined in the middle of the sea is truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
The experience continues at the Smart Police Station (SPS) — a fully automated, contactless station. A brief conversation with the officer reveals how the system works and how it’s redefining city services.
Back at VOCO Monaco, a special Malaysian-style chicken satay is prepared by celebrity chef Vibin. As the sun begins to set, there’s time to connect with the team, relax by the beach, and take in the lively Budapest-style beach party before returning to the Dubai mainland.
This is not just a tour — it’s a cinematic journey into a future-ready European world crafted inside Dubai. view more
