First of all make your way to Downtown Dubai, a destination where you can tick of several of the city’s must-see sights. Head to Dubai Mall to discover a wide range of shops, eateries and entertainment options and then take in the aquarium and the Dubai Fountains. A short walk away is the iconic Burj Khalifa, make your way to the top and take in the best views in the UAE. There are several packages for entry to the Burj Khalifa that vary according to budget.‘At the Top’ is the most affordable option while ‘The Lounge’ caters to those looking for a more luxurious experience. For lunch, we recommend heading to Fashion Avenue. For a luxurious dining experience try La Maison Ani or for fountain views and a chance to sample the cuisine of the region why not try Wafi Gourmet.

Head to the centre of the city and the Umm Sequim area. Visit the iconic Burj Al Arab hotel. You can book the ‘Inside Burj Al Arab’ tour to discover the building or make a reservation at one of the eateries or SAL Beach Club. Then, make your way to Palm Jumeirah which is a destination that promises a bit of everything. Here you can shop at retail destinations The Pointe and Nakheel Mall, lounge at one of the many beach clubs in West Palm beach or check out the iconic Atlantis hotel and the newly opened Atlantis Royal hotel.
Evening
Spend your evening shoreside. Make your way to JBR and pick between the many dining options at the Pavilion The Beach (our favourite spots are Italian Eataly and Japanese pizzeria, Akiba Dori). Alternatively, take a short stroll along the beach and over the pedestrian bridge to Bluewaters Island. Here you can take in the Ain Dubai (Dubai Eye) before dinner with sea views, we recommend Alici if you’re looking for an elegant Italian eatery or Mexican, Puerto 99 for a vibrant atmosphere that transforms into a party.
