Dubai was commissioned in 1995 under various project names (Panhandle, Platinum, Golden Star) and was built in cooperation with the German shipyards Blohm+Voss and Lürssen. The yacht was initially built for Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei before 1996, but the client stopped the purchase contract the next year. In 2001, she went to the current owner, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The yacht was designed by Andrew Winch, with interior design by Platinum Yachts, she approximately cost $400 million.
The ship including the floating dock was transported by the MV Blue Marlin via Turkey to Dubai. The Dubai-based Platinum Yachts FZCO shipyard continued to build the yacht under the former project name Platinum and handed her over to the owner in 2006. The yacht is kept in front of the northern of the two artificial islands, the private island of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. From 2006 to 2009, the yacht was the largest yacht in the world with a length of 162 meters, but was replaced by Eclipse and Azzam.[1]

The equipment includes a helipad up to a maximum of 9.5 tons, two 10 m long motor boats, a dining room for 90 guests and a 10 m swimming pool.
