Before heading to Dubai, take the time to plan your trip — whether you're staying 5 days or 2 weeks, some places simply shouldn't be missed.
✓ Visited in October 2018
01Burj Khalifa
The tallest tower in the world, at 828m. You can simply admire it from Burj Plaza, in a stunning setting, or head up to the 124th floor, or even the 148th-floor summit — it all depends on what you're after and your budget.
02Dubai Mall
The largest shopping mall in the world, a stone's throw from the Burj Khalifa — 1,200 stores. Staying true to the city's love of excess: an aquarium, an ice rink, a waterfall, a souk, and the biggest names in fashion. Something for every budget.
03Burj Al Arab
The world's only 7-star hotel, sail-shaped, in Jumeirah.
04Jumeirah Beach
To stay in step with the city's extravagance, nothing beats the beach, surrounded by skyscrapers as far as the eye can see. Two camels regularly stroll along it, drawing quite a crowd.
05Dubai Marina: Marina Walk & Marina Mall
The Marina brings boats and skyscrapers side by side — day or night, a relaxing walk that's easy on the eyes. While there, take the time to stroll along the Marina Walk, a pleasant promenade among buildings and shops. The Marina Mall, smaller than Dubai Mall, is also worth a detour.
06A trip into the desert
Head into the desert for a guaranteed change of scenery — by 4x4, buggy, or camelback. We picked a 4x4 safari with a camel ride, shisha and sunset dinner, through Ceetiz. A great time, and excellent value for money.
07Souk Madinat Jumeirah
A modern souk to find typical Dubai goods — textiles, shisha, jewelry — laid out mall-style, opening onto Dubai's "Little Venice": boats cruise along the canals, with a view of the Burj Al Arab. A stunning setting.
