Fasten your seatbelts (metaphorically, of course, unless you’re actually in first class as you read this) as Josie Gibson embarks on a whirlwind tour of luxury travel in Around the World in First Class. Her first stop? The opulent playgrounds of the Middle East. Kicking off her extravagant adventure in Dubai, Josie checks into an overwater villa before indulging in a lavish seafood feast. But the real extravagance begins in the Arabian Desert, where a night at the Al Maha resort will set you back a cool $20,000.
Not content with simply enjoying the finer things, Josie embraces the local culture, experiencing a desert safari complete with a sunset camel ride. Her journey continues to Doha, Qatar, where she checks into the Arabian wonderland-themed Mondrian Hotel. Throughout her trip, Josie provides viewers with a peek behind the curtain of the booming luxury travel industry, showing what that kind of cash can buy – from private jets and personalized service to accommodations that are more akin to palaces than hotel rooms.
Around the World in First Class airs Fridays at 8:00 PM on Channel 5.
