The city's most significant landmarks are a stone's throw away from each other, so we recommend exploring both on the first day. Your first stop, the famous Dubai Mall, is one of the world's largest shopping centers, which houses over 1,200 stores. You may have to spend hours here given the gigantic size of the mall, but make sure you check out the Dubai Aquarium, Ice Rink, and the Fashion Avenue as well. Then head to the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, to see unobstructed views of the city skyline from the 'At the Top' 124th floor observation deck - a memorable experience.
The Dubai Miracle Garden is the world's largest natural garden, a spectacular place to explore within the city. You can experience Dubai's beauty at its finest and most serene here. There are over 45 million flowers in 60 different varieties, and the flower-decked models and images will leave you mesmerized. Following that, you'll visit the Dubai Frame, deemed the 'largest picture frame in the world.' It is 150 meters high, has a 'sky deck' with stunning views of the city, and an art gallery showcasing the city's transition over the years, allowing you to learn about the city's design and architectural development.
If you have an extra day, consider visiting Palm Jumeirah by taking a 15-minute monorail ride to see these luxurious islands' stunning architecture, Atlantis The Palm, and other attractions. Dubai Museum is also a must-visit location if you're interested in Dubai's cultural history. Anyhow, if you have less time, you can either skip one of the locations from either day of our itinerary or visit the locations with less exploration time. Furthermore, keep the weather and traffic in mind when traveling to/from locations, and dress appropriately as Dubai is a Muslim city.
