Dubai, the world's largest superyacht, at the 2010 Dubai Boat Show

The Dubai is 162 metres long and is an imposing but elegant sea-faring giant which can reportedly reach up to 26 knots.

The superyacht has moored near the Dubai International Marine Club – Mina Seyahi, creating a large amount of buzz and what looks to be a very positive start to the shows five day run.

'We are honoured and privileged that the ‘Dubai' is here for the first time at the Dubai International Boat Show,' said Helal Saeed Almarri, CEO, Dubai World Trade Centre. 'We are looking forward to an outstanding five days of great business opportunities and providing luxurious entertainment as consumer confidence gains momentum.'
