Start your trip with a visit to the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Take the elevator to the observation deck on the 124th floor for breathtaking views of the city.
Explore the Dubai Mall, one of the largest malls in the world. Don't forget to check out the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo located inside the mall, which features a 10 million liter tank and a 48-meter long tunnel.
Take a break from the city and visit the Dubai Miracle Garden, the world's largest flower garden. With over 45 million flowers in 45 different species, it's a display you won't want to miss.
Experience several cultures in one place at the Global Village. Catch live performances, try international cuisine and shop for unique souvenirs.
Learn about Dubai's history at the Dubai Museum. Then, wander the narrow streets of the Gold Souk and pick up some gold jewelry or just enjoy the city's sparkling displays of bling.
Finish your trip with a stroll along Jumeirah Beach, one of Dubai's most popular beaches. Then, head over to the man-made Palm Jumeirah island, an engineering marvel shaped like a palm tree, where you can relax in luxury with plenty of hotel and resort options.
If you have more time to spare, get out of the city and explore the surrounding desert or take a day trip to Abu Dhabi to see the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. If you have less time, prioritize the top attractions and skip secondary sights. Make sure to also keep in mind any cultural and religious practices to respect local customs during your travels.
