Skyline
The Burj Khalifa is an obvious first stop for a first-timer. Located approximately 45 minutes from JA Palm Tree Court Dubai, the Burj Khalifa is worth timing for around 6 pm, when the city transitions from daylight to a lit-up skyline and the Dubai Fountain begins its show.
Hotel Deals
Summer hotel deals in Dubai do not get talked about enough. Between June and August, rates across the city drop significantly, mainly due to peak summer temperatures outside. However, mornings at the beach, middays indoors, and evenings back out again are a rhythm that works better than most people expect before they try it.
Old Dubai
Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood is a preserved old town with wind-tower buildings that feels nothing like the Dubai most people see in photographs. From there, a short Abra ride across Dubai Creek drops you into Deira, where the spice and gold souks sit close enough together to walk between.
Atlantis Aquaventure
No first trip to Dubai is complete without at least one day that’s purely about fun. This waterpark covers enough ground to fill a full day with exciting rides. The Atlantis aquarium can be an extension for anyone who wants to see sharks and rays.
