Roam Al Fahidi
Start your day with a mouthwatering breakfast of sweetly savoury balaleet and the famous Arabic Breakfast Tray at the picturesque Arabian Tea House before exploring heritage-rich Al-Fahidi, with its winding labyrinths of ochre desert homes with intricately beautiful shutters and true-to-life renditions of Dubai’s rich past. You can cross the Creek in a dreamlike dhow that will afford you enchanting views of the modern and old-world mosaic of the city’s unparalleled skyline.
The Deira Souq
While ending your first day at the Burj Khalifah for phenomenal sunset views is a given with a trip to the dazzling Dubai Mall afterwards for a fancy dinner and retail therapy, rambling through the spice-scented, jewel-toned Deira souqs is an afternoon well-spent. Here, you can customize irresistible perfumes, sample delicious local blends, design pure gold jewellery pieces, and try on an exquisitely tailored robe.
Soak up Beach Vibes
Kick-start day two with an adrenaline-rich escape to Kite Beach where you can let both the jaw-dropping views and exhilarating assortment of water sports steal your breath away! For outstanding hotels in Dubai near airport conveniences and chief attractions, venture no further than NH Collection Dubai The Palm.
Hit the Dunes
Whether it’s embarking on a camel safari, dashing quad bikes across the gigantic waves of sand, or savouring the rugged beauty and turquoise waters of Hatta Dam, end your trip with a dip into Dubai’s awe-inspiring wilderness.
