The Dubai Mall is the world's largest shopping mall and the perfect place to start your trip. You can find more than 1,200 stores, cafes, restaurants, and a huge indoor aquarium. Don't forget to take a photo with the famous Dubai Fountain, the world's largest choreographed fountain system; it has more than 6,600 lights.
Start your day with a visit to the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building with 163 floors. You can go all the way to the observation deck, located on the 124th floor, to enjoy panoramic views of Dubai. At night, the view is even more impressive. Book your tickets in advance as it is a highly popular attraction.
Spend the day at the Dubai Miracle Garden, the world's largest flower garden. With more than 50 million flowers and 250 million plants, you can stroll around the colourful gardens, take amazing photos, and even see the Guinness World Record-holding largest flower arrangement.
The Dubai Museum is a great way to end your trip. Located in the oldest existing building of Dubai, the museum gives an insight into the history, culture, and traditions of Dubai. You can learn about the old way of life, traditional clothing, and the development of the city. Don't forget to visit the Al Fahidi Fort, which was built in the 18th century.
If you have more time, you can add a visit to Palm Jumeirah Island, where you can relax on the beach or take a helicopter tour around Dubai. For adventure-seekers, a desert safari is a must-do, where you can ride camels, go sandboarding, and even try a traditional Arabic dinner under the stars. If you have less time, try to combine the Dubai Museum and the Al Fahidi Fort with a visit to the Dubai Creek, where you can take a boat ride (called an abra) and see the traditional souks.
