Start the day by visiting the world's tallest building- Burj Khalifa, and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the city from the observation deck on the 148th floor. Continue your experience at the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, where you can get up close to underwater creatures through a walkway tunnel or even dive with sharks.
Explore the most famous man-made island, the Palm Jumeirah, and indulge in luxury shopping and dining experiences. Discover the iconic Atlantis, The Palm, a resort with an aquarium, water park and its private beach. End your day at Dubai Mall, the largest shopping mall globally, which includes the Dubai Fountain, an ice-skating rink, and an indoor waterfall.
Visit the world's largest flower garden - Dubai Miracle Garden, which showcases millions of flowers and creative designs. Stroll around the garden or take a ride on the flower-decorated trains. End your luxurious trip at Dubai Marina, where you can enjoy a yacht ride and take in the stunning views of skyscrapers and the Arabian Gulf.
While taxis are readily available, the quickest and most comfortable way to travel between destinations is by hiring a private car. Expect to spend AED 200-300 per hour for a luxury car rental. Alternatively, consider using a ride-hailing app, such as Uber or Careem, which costs around AED 50-100 per ride depending on the distance.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the Dubai Museum or Ski Dubai. If you have less time, skip the Dubai Miracle Garden and spend more time at the Dubai Mall. Don’t forget to pack sunscreen, sunglasses and comfortable shoes as Dubai can get hot during the day.
