Visit the world's largest mall with over 1,200 shops, including high-end designer stores like Chanel and Gucci. Take a break from shopping and visit the indoor Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo that houses over 140 species of aquatic animals.
At 828 meters, Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world. You can buy tickets to the observation deck located on the 124th floor, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the city. The tower also has a high-speed elevator that takes you to the top in just 60 seconds.
The Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island in the shape of a palm tree. Take a monorail to the Atlantis Hotel where you can explore the aquarium or relax at Aquaventure Waterpark. End your day with a dinner cruise around the Palm Jumeirah to see the stunning skyline at night.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Dubai Miracle Garden or taking a day trip to Abu Dhabi. If you have less time, skip the aquarium and underwater zoo and spend more time exploring the mall or Burj Khalifa observation deck. Note that Islamic dress codes must be followed when visiting religious sites, and public displays of affection are not allowed.
