Tips

If you have extra time, consider adding a day trip to Global Village or a visit to the Dubai Miracle Garden for seasonal floral displays. For a shorter stay, skip the afternoon beach session on Day 3 and replace it with a quick visit to the Dubai Frame, which offers great city views with less travel time.
