Our Story

Built on Two Decades in the UAE.

Founder-led desert buggy experience in the UAE
Founder & Chief Executive Officer

E. V. Jacob

Nearly two decades of experience across UAE tourism, hospitality, transportation and business development — including direct, hands-on experience with Arabian Expedition, Big Red Adventure Tours and Al Ali Yachts.

Curated Destinations was founded on a simple idea: every guest should leave with a story worth telling, delivered with the safety, care and polish of a team that has spent two decades perfecting the UAE's best experiences.

"We built the company we always wished existed — one trusted name for the desert, the water and everything in between. Come and see the UAE the way we see it."

Vision

Trusted Worldwide

To build one of the world's most trusted premium destination experience companies — creating unforgettable journeys that deliver sustainable long-term value for customers, partners, employees and investors.

Mission

One Seamless Journey

To redefine premium travel experiences through owned flagship products, luxury mobility, marine services and hospitality partnerships — integrated with technology into one seamless customer journey.

How We Operate

Business Philosophy

Exceptional Experiences

Every ride, tour and event is designed and delivered to a premium, consistent standard.

Brand Reputation

We protect trust with customers and partners as carefully as we grow the business.

Financial Discipline

Conservative forecasting, milestone-based spending and prudent reserves guide every decision.

Long-Term Partnerships

Hotels, DMCs and operators are treated as long-term collaborators, not one-off vendors.

Looking Ahead

The UAE Is Just the Beginning

We're starting here, in the dunes we know best. From here, Curated Destinations is headed to new destinations across the region — each one with its own signature adventure, and the same promise of quality wherever we go.
