If you’ve only got a weekend in Dubai, you’ll want to see it all without feeling rushed. Start your adventure at Burj Khalifa—head up early to avoid the lines and take in panoramic views. By noon, wander through the souks of Old Dubai, soaking in the fragrances of spices and the glint of gold jewelry. Then, take a traditional abra ride across Dubai Creek, before hitting the Dubai Marina for a sunset cruise and dinner.
Day two is all about Dubai’s future. After breakfast, explore the Museum of the Future, where technology and innovation collide. Wind down with an afternoon at Jumeirah Beach, relaxing by the shore with the iconic Burj Al Arab in the distance. Before you leave, make sure to catch the Dubai Fountain show—a spectacular end to a whirlwind weekend.
