Start your trip with some retail therapy at The Dubai Mall, the largest mall in the world. In addition to shopping, there are plenty of leisure activities like an Olympic-sized ice rink, indoor waterfall, and the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo. You can also dine at one of the many restaurants or catch a movie at the cinema.
Take a break from the bustling city and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the Dubai Miracle Garden. The garden is home to various floral installations and over 45 million blooming flowers arranged in shapes of hearts, stars and pyramids. In addition to strolling in the garden, you can relax at the many seating areas and grab a bite to eat at the on-site cafes.
Unwind from your busy trip by spending the day at Jumeirah Beach. The white sand beach offers a picturesque view of the Dubai skyline. You can sunbathe, swim or try out water sports like jet skiing and parasailing. There are also many restaurants and cafes options to choose from if you get hungry or thirsty.
End your trip with a visit to the famous Dubai Fountain located outside The Dubai Mall. The fountain displays multiple water shows, day and night, choreographed to music. You can watch the show from the sidelines or take a boat ride for a closer view. The fountain is surrounded by many restaurants offering different cuisine to enjoy a meal while watching the show.
If you have more time, you can add a day trip to the Dubai Miracle Garden Butterfly Garden or head to Dubai Parks & Resorts to try out its many theme parks. If you have less time, you can remove Jumeirah Beach or Dubai Miracle Garden from your itinerary. Note that some attractions may be closed due to maintenance or weather during the month of May.
