Dubai to Maldives: A Journal from Our Ladies Touch Adventure

Some trips stay in your heart a little longer, and our Dubai + Maldives journey was exactly that kind of experience. From the moment we landed in Dubai, the energy was vibrant, modern, and full of possibility. And guiding us through every highlight, every cultural gem, and every hidden corner was our incredible private guide, Hind—born in Egypt, a Dubai local for more than a decade, and truly the heartbeat of our week.

We instantly fell in love with her.
Her humor. Her warmth. Her knowledge.
And especially the way she cared for our group like family.

By the end of the trip, we weren’t just taking lessons in culture… Hind had us learning how to belly dance to Arabic music on a yacht. That’s the energy she brought—joyful, effortless, and unforgettable.

Exploring Dubai — A Mix of Modern Glamour & Deep Culture

Dubai welcomed us with shimmering skylines and a city built on imagination. We explored some of the most iconic landmarks in the world—skyscraper views, futuristic architecture, and luxury experiences that showed us the modern soul of the UAE. Then we crossed the creek by abra boat and stepped into Old Dubai’s spice-scented streets, wandering the Gold and Spice Souks like travelers in another era.

And of course… the desert.
Nothing compares to a heritage desert experience. The rolling dunes at sunset, the stillness, the traditions, the sense of being far removed from everything and deeply connected to the moment.

Our group bonded in the laughter, the heat, the shared awe of it all.

Flying Dresses & Yacht Vibes — A Day Made for Queens

One of the most unforgettable moments of this Dubai travel experience was our Flying Dress photoshoot. Watching the group step into vibrant gowns that flowed in the wind—standing tall against the city’s skyline—was breathtaking. Every solo shot looked like a magazine cover, and the group photos were powerful, joyful, and full of personality.

Later, we cruised across the Dubai Marina on our private yacht with our own DJ spinning the soundtrack of the day. Music, ocean breeze, sunshine, dancing, and the most beautiful skyline views—it felt like a celebration of life and sisterhood.

Dubai Nights, Good Food & Good Company

Throughout our stay, we indulged in Dubai’s incredible restaurant scene—everything from global cuisine to rooftop cocktails high above the city. We shared stories, toasted to new adventures, and soaked in every moment of this luxury group trip for LGBTQ women. Every night felt like a celebration, every gathering a reminder of why community-centered travel matters.

A Dream Escape to the Maldives

Flying into the Maldives felt like stepping inside a screensaver—crystal-clear turquoise water, powder-soft sand, and endless horizon lines. The moment our group arrived, the island welcomed us with music, warmth, and that laid-back magic only the Maldives can offer.

Our overwater bungalows gave us a peaceful, ocean-front sanctuary. We woke up to the sound of the water, swam out directly into the lagoon, and let the days move at an island pace.

One morning we set out on a snorkeling adventure—waves a little wild, energy a little chaotic—but once we were in the water, we were rewarded with the most colorful sea life. It was surreal, calming, and full of wonder.

The rest of our days were spent on the beach, soaking in the sun, enjoying the Maldivian hospitality, eating great food, and savoring long, heartfelt conversations in the ocean. This portion of the trip felt grounding and nourishing—the perfect balance after the fast-paced fun of Dubai.

Closing Out a Beautiful Journey

On our final night in the Maldives, we gathered for a lively farewell dinner filled with music, dancing, and belly laughs—one of those nights where you don’t want the trip to end. We toasted to friendship, adventure, safety, and the incredible bond created when LGBTQ women travel together.

When we hugged everyone goodbye the next morning, it wasn’t just the end of a vacation.
It was the end of a beautiful chapter—one we’ll carry with us forever.

Dubai dazzled us.
The Maldives healed us.
And together, they created an unforgettable experience we can’t wait to return to.
