In a city where luxury is measured in exclusivity, Wheely has just raised the bar. The Swiss-British chauffeur service has unveiled W heely Luxe , its most refined tier yet, granting members in Dubai something unprecedented – the ability to summon a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class at will.
Until now, the Maybach, synonymous with uncompromising elegance, was reserved for private ownership or bespoke bookings. Wheely changes that, becoming the only platform to offer it on-demand, transforming even the shortest commute into a statement of discernment. The experience is designed for those who consider travel an art form.
The experience goes beyond the Maybach's known comfort. With Wheely, t he cabin, a cocoon of hand-stitched leather and polished wood, is subtly scented with Aqua di Parma. Each ride comes with chilled FIJI water and San Pellegrino sparkling water, kept cool in built-in refrigerators, while Colonia-scented hand cream and plush cleansing towels complete the sensory experience.

'These aren't just amenities – they're essential touches for those who appreciate true refinement,' says Omar Maatouk, Wheely's Middle East General Manager. The service also includes practical luxuries like USB-C and Lightning chargers, plus folding tables for on-the-go productivity.
'This isn't just about transport. It's about delivering a new standard of private travel, where every element is considered', says Maatouk.
The launch follows Wheely's recent introduction of an SUV class for business travelers, but Wheely Luxe is a different proposition. This one is aimed at those for whom luxury is not just a preference but a prerequisite. The membership remains tightly curated, ensuring that access feels as exclusive as the experience itself.
Wheely's tiered services include Luxe (Maybach S-Class), Business SUV (GMC Yukon), New Business (BMW 5 Series), First (Mercedes S-Class), and XL (Mercedes V-Class), along with airport pickups and Chauffeur for a Day for members. Their exclusive Membership program rewards frequent travelers with global access to premium services, available after 15 journeys or by invitation.
In a market saturated with superlatives, Wheely has found a way to make luxury feel personal again. And for Dubai's most discerning travelers, the Maybach is now just a tap away.

Opinion: Germany's zeal for Israeli genocide revives its dangerous exceptionalism
Germany is open about its uninhibited support for Israel's war of extermination and genocide in Palestine, and wants to make sure the entire world sees it. Recognition for its Zionist zeal enables Germany to rehabilitate its exceptionalism, or Sonderweg, with catastrophic consequences for Palestinians and international law. Germany is not uniquely evil among liberal democracies in offering Israel unconditional support in killing starving Palestinians. Chancellor Friedrich Merz is no more morally bereft than British Prime Minister Keir Starmer or French President Emmanuel Macron. But Germany exalts Zionist radical evil to assert its uniqueness. Germany remains as hungry for national identity as it has ever been, and nothing can stand in its way - least of all Palestinians, who appear in the German consciousness only when establishment forces fail to erase their existence. Germany's pursuit of greatness has unleashed immense violence and destruction, from genocidal conquests in Africa to two world wars and the extermination of European Jews. Its defeat and division after World War Two, and integration into Nato and the EU, seemed to put the German threat to rest. Yet Germany has bounced back with a vengeance, thanks to economic prowess and global reordering. While it has championed the rule of law and democracy within the EU like no other, it has not hesitated to set them aside when they conflict with its core interests - whether to impose its economic model and austerity on all member states, pursue energy policy at the expense of European partners (Nord Stream 2), or break fiscal rules it had imposed on the rest.
