Tanisha Cardozo

Dubai’s Halloween scene has blossomed into a high-fashion spectacle where fantasy and luxury merge under the desert skies. The emirate now hosts rooftop catwalks, masquerade dinners, beach parties, and influencer-driven experiences, transforming the traditional Halloween celebration into a curated lifestyle event.

Luxury venues have embraced theatrical themes, ranging from “cursed circus” soirées to futuristic masquerade balls. Immersive indoor festivals, private yacht parties, and desert gatherings are now designed for fashion, nightlife, and photography, emphasizing exclusivity and Instagram-ready aesthetics.

Influencers and content creators play a central role in this new Halloween culture, invited as VIP guests to share the events across social media. Attendees no longer simply wear costumes; they curate entire characters, blending bespoke masks and couture-level outfits to transform the night into a runway.

Dubai’s warm climate, diverse expat population, and world-class hospitality infrastructure support large-scale outdoor and indoor events. Rooftops, beach clubs, and desert resorts offer perfect venues for theatrical and glamorous celebrations. This combination of climate, culture, and exclusivity has allowed Halloween to evolve into a premium entertainment and tourism opportunity.

For brands, Halloween has become a marketing moment to launch collections, host fashion shows, or align products with fantasy and glamour. For tourism, it adds another seasonal attraction, drawing high-spending visitors seeking nightlife and luxury experiences.

Looking ahead, Dubai’s Halloween celebrations are expected to become even more immersive. Organisers may introduce desert fashion festivals, celebrity-hosted events, high-tech masquerade lighting, and global influencer collaborations. As competition grows, venues will push creativity further, turning Halloween into a multi-day luxury spectacle.

Ferrari or Faux? Dubai YouTuber Turns $500,000 Supercar into Chandelier

allycaralgoa

Dubai-based YouTuber and luxury lifestyle vlogger, Mohamed Beiraghdary—better known as MoVlogs—is making headlines yet again. This time, the influencer has turned a supercar into an extravagant interior feature by suspending what looks like a Ferrari LaFerrari from his ceiling as a chandelier

A video posted on his Instagram account documents the entire process. The clip opens with movers carefully hoisting the bright red car into his lavish Dubai mansion. Moments later, the car is secured overhead via a custom pulley system, transforming into an over-the-top lighting fixture. MoVlogs casually walks beneath it, as though his challenge is now a quirky everyday backdrop.


While MoVlogs brands it as his “new $500,000 chandelier,” viewers are skeptical. Some netizens suggest it’s merely a jet‑car replica or a fiberglass body shell, not a functioning Ferrari—possibly worth much less. Comments range from “La Ferrari in the living room is crazy,” to “Looks like a plastic toy”—and cautionary notes on safety concerns if the structure were real.

The real LaFerrari is a hybrid marvel: an 800 hp V12 engine paired with a 120 kW electric motor, capable of 0–100 km/h in under three seconds and a top speed of 350 km/h. Even if MoVlogs hung a shell, the logistics of mounting something this size are no small feat—raising questions about structural integrity and fire safety, as well as the vibe it sends in luxury decor culture.

The stunt ignited a firestorm online. Reels of the installation have amassed over 24 million views and 800,000+ likes. Some praised the ingenuity and audacity—calling it “amazing.” Others criticized the stunt as ostentatious or risky, dubbing it a tasteless show of wealth.

Whether it’s a real Ferrari or a replica, MoVlogs has succeeded in creating internet fodder again. His daring blend of automotive obsession and avant-garde home décor has made one thing clear: in the realm of luxury and content creation, boundary-pushing extravagance is hard to ignore.
