From Dubai’s most recognisable resorts to Egypt’s North Coast, Naomi Campbell has developed a long relationship with the region and its luxury hospitality scene.
Naomi Campbell is a regular presence in the Middle East, visiting for fashion shows, hotel openings, cultural events and private celebrations. Most recently, the supermodel travelled to Egypt’s North Coast.
While the model rarely discloses the details of her accommodation, several properties have become closely connected to her regional travels, while others are understood to provide a discreet base when she is in town. Here’s how to travel in the Middle East like Naomi Campbell.
D-Bay, Egypt
Campbell’s latest regional appearance took her to D-Bay on Egypt’s North Coast in August 2026. She performed beneath the Mediterranean sky at an invitation-only event celebrating the unveiling of Athinio, a new beachfront neighbourhood within the destination. D-Bay combines residences, lagoons, restaurants, cafés and a forthcoming boutique hotel. While Campbell’s accommodation was not disclosed, her appearance highlighted the growing appeal of Egypt’s North Coast among international fashion and entertainment figures.
One&Only One Za’abeel, Dubai
Campbell was among the international guests invited to the three-day opening celebration of One&Only One Za’abeel in February 2024. She joined Jennifer Lopez, Idris Elba, Vanessa Hudgens and other notable names for private concerts, dinners and wellness experiences.
One&Only’s first urban resort occupies one of the two towers at One Za’abeel, connected by The Link, a striking horizontal structure suspended above the city. Alongside its collection of restaurants, the hotel includes a Longevity Hub by Clinique La Prairie and an elevated infinity pool overlooking Dubai.
Atlantis The Royal, Dubai
Atlantis The Royal has become another regular stop during Campbell’s Dubai visits. In October 2025, she took over the decks for the opening of Carbone Dubai, joining a guest list that included Winnie Harlow, Alessandra Ambrosio and leading figures from the region.
The Palm Jumeirah resort is designed around dramatic architecture, private pools, destination restaurants and expansive views of the Arabian Gulf. Campbell’s appearances have strengthened its reputation as one of Dubai’s most prominent addresses for major international events.
Atlantis, The Palm, Dubai
Before Atlantis The Royal arrived, Campbell was already associated with its neighbouring resort, Atlantis The Palm. She has previously stayed at the hotel during visits to Dubai, joining a long list of actors, musicians, models and sporting figures who have used the property as a base in the city.
Known for its expansive suites, private beach, marine attractions and extensive dining collection, the resort offers both privacy and entertainment without requiring guests to leave the grounds.
Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, Dubai
For lower-profile visits and events, Campbell is also understood to favour Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab. Opened in 2025, the superyacht-inspired hotel sits beside Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Hotel, completing Jumeirah’s trio of waterfront properties.
Its private residences, secluded marina, spacious suites and extensive wellness facilities make it a natural choice for prominent guests seeking greater discretion. The hotel also offers several private dining and event spaces away from Dubai’s more visible celebrity circuit.
Doha, Qatar
Campbell has made several visits to Doha for Fashion Trust Arabia and Qatar Creates. In 2022, she also brought her EMERGE initiative to the city, presenting African fashion and creative talent through a programme of exhibitions, discussions and performances.
Although her preferred hotel in Doha has not been publicly confirmed, her repeated appearances have made Qatar another important destination in her regional calendar.
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Jeddah is another city Campbell has returned to for the Red Sea International Film Festival. She attended the inaugural edition in 2021 and later appeared at screenings and events during subsequent festivals.
Her visits have largely centred on the festival’s programme of premieres, gala dinners and discussions celebrating cinema from Saudi Arabia, the Arab world, Africa and beyond.
