Burj Khalifa At the Top
The 124th or 148th floor observation decks offer panoramic views of the city, desert, and Gulf. Book the sunset slot for the transformation from golden hour to a twinkling sea of lights.
Desert Safari
Dune bashing, camel rides, sandboarding, and a Bedouin camp dinner under the stars. The dramatic red dunes of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve are unforgettable.
Dubai Creek & Gold Souk
Cross the historic creek on an abra (wooden boat) and explore the gold and spice souks of old Dubai. A world away from the gleaming towers across the water.
Palm Jumeirah
Take the monorail across the world's largest man-made island. Visit the Atlantis waterpark, walk The Pointe, or stay overnight at the Seven Pines or Atlantis resort.
Dubai Frame
A 150m picture frame structure straddling old and new Dubai. The glass floor bridge between two towers and the historic vs. modern city view from each side is genuinely clever.
Museum of the Future
The world's most beautiful building is also its most thought-provoking — a torus-shaped silver structure covered in Arabic calligraphy houses five floors of immersive exhibitions about humanity's future. Inside you'll travel to a space station, walk through a rainforest of the future, and register as an ambassador for Earth.
