Spending two days in Dubai, the epicenter of all things extravagant is the best option if you want to feel like royalty and go on a city getaway with all the glitz & glamour you could possible want and more. Dubai, which was built on the foundation of a city of riches and opulence that most of us can only imagine, is a place where supercars are pimped out, gems are everywhere, and futuristic architecture catches you off guard at every turn. Here are some tips for you to quickly learn about this magnificent city in just 48 hours.<\/p>\n

A. Itinerary for 2 Days in Dubai<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Two days in Dubai will be plenty to give you a taste of the city, but you will need to prioritize what you want to see & do.<\/p>\n

1. Day 1 in Dubai<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"View<\/a><\/p>\n

Old Quarter-<\/strong> Assuming you choose Deira as your base of operations, you would be located close to the airport in Dubai’s historic district. The spice & gold souks are a busy, chaotic, must-see area in Old Dubai. Reach these stores early to avoid the tourist swarms that arrive about 9 am. You may get any kind of souvenir item, including gold, spices, and carpets, for a much less money here than in the malls. Never forget to barter fiercely here; it is all part and parcel of the experience.<\/p>\n

Bur Dubai-<\/strong> On the first day in Dubai, you should definitely take an actual abra ride<\/a>, however the ones close to the souks are rather pricey. Instead, stroll to the abra station & board a water taxi in the first row to Bur Dubai on the opposite side. It is inexpensive and provides wonderful picture possibilities.<\/p>\n

Jumeirah Beach-<\/strong> Although Bur Dubai has many more souks, since you have previously seen them, take a cab to Jumeirah Beach. At this time, the beach will not be busy, and you can enjoy lovely views of Burj Al-Arab, the only seven-star hotel in the world. One of the few public, unrestricted beaches in Dubai is this one. The Dubai Fountain, the Dubai Mall, and Burj Khalifa are all located in Dubai Downtown, which may be reached by bus or cab (there is no train link from Jumeirah).<\/p>\n

Burj Khalifa-<\/strong> The Burj Khalifa is one of the reasons why Dubai is famous<\/a>. It might take more than 3 hours easily of your time. If you attend, make reservations in advance and get a ticket for the 148th floor’s highest level.<\/p>\n

Dubai Mall-<\/strong> Dubai Mall is worth a visit whether or not you want to shop. There is no need for transportation because you can visit the Mall immediately from the Burj Khalifa. In fact, you could spend days exploring this enormous shopping mall and yet not see everything. Here, one may find the Ice Rink, the Dubai Aquarium, and the Underwater Zoo, among other attractions. There are several good eating establishments around where you may enjoy a filling dinner before moving on to your next site.<\/p>\n

Dubai Fountain-<\/strong> The Dubai Fountain, a beautiful location to visit at, is located just adjacent to the mall. You can catch this spectacular display, every 30 minutes amid the hours of 6 and 11 in the evenings. The ideal way to end your first day is to sit here among the visitors with Burj Khalifa brightly lighted in the background. On an abra boat trip that glides near to the dancing fountains, you may enjoy better views of the Dubai Fountains performance while avoiding the throng. Plus, it is one of the free things to\u00a0 do in Dubai<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Day 2 in Dubai<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Floating<\/a><\/p>\n

Dubai Marina-<\/strong> From the Deira City Center Metro Station, take the train to Dubai Marina; it will take you there in just 45 minutes. One of the biggest man-made marinas in the world, this area is wonderful for a morning stroll.<\/p>\n

Madinat Jumeirah-<\/strong> The posh neighborhood of Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai, which is modeled like ancient Arabia, is at a little distance from the marina. You can spend at least two hours getting lost in this lovely region if you skip your coffee break.<\/p>\n

Desert Safari Tour-<\/strong> Set aside the rest of your day for an afternoon desert safari coupled with BBQ to experience the ride of a lifetime. You will experience the desert up close and personal as you spend twenty minutes in 4WD vehicles dune bashing across the sand dunes. You will go to a real Arab camp and unwind with a shisha while belly dancers gyrate and mesmerize you with their dances. The desert safari excursion is capped off with a BBQ buffet dish.<\/p>\n

Sunset Dinner Cruise-<\/strong> On your final night in Dubai, reward yourself with a wonderful 90-minute sunset dhow cruise<\/a>. It is one of the best floating restaurants in world<\/a>. Step on board a solid wooden dhow, relax on the top deck while enjoying a lavish buffet supper, and glide through the floodlit attractions as you take in Dubai’s modern cityscape.<\/p>\n
