Start your trip to Dubai by visiting one of the largest shopping malls in the world, the Dubai Mall. With over 1,200 stores, you can find anything from high-end fashion to budget-friendly brands. After that, head to the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. The observation deck on the 148th floor offers stunning views of the city skyline.
Take a walk around the Dubai Marina, a picturesque waterfront location with plenty of restaurants and shops. Then, head to the Palm Jumeirah, an artificial island shaped like a palm tree. Here you can visit the Atlantis, The Palm resort and waterpark, or take a relaxing walk along the Palm's beach.
End your Dubai trip with a visit to the Dubai Miracle Garden, a 72,000 square meter garden with over 45 million flowers. After that, head to the Global Village, a cultural and entertainment center featuring pavilions from over 75 countries, as well as live performances and food stalls.
If you have more time, consider taking a desert safari and visit the Dubai Miracle Garden in the morning to avoid crowds. If you have less time, skip the Palm Jumeirah and visit the Dubai Miracle Garden in the afternoon when the crowd has thinned.
