Explore the Captivating Dubai city in One Day

It is no surprise that Dubai invites millions of people every year to bask in its opulence. But managing an action-packed itinerary in one day stay could be overwhelming.

We have tried to squeeze and blend the most fascinating and attractive things to do in Dubai-

1. Take a tour of Old Dubai

Early morning flock to the Old Dubai which still boasts preserved buildings and heritage.

Satiate your shopping hunger at souks- a wonderful sprawl of goods and golds. The gold souk is decorated with varieties of jewellery in gold and diamonds. What makes it worthy of a visit is there are 300 shops, they are bargainable and it is one of the cheapest gold markets.

Crossing the walkways, you reach the spice and textile souks which is another impressive collection. The melange of the exotic smell of herbs and spices fill the compact walkways, the display of Persian carpets and rugs, and the range of footwear make it one frenetic and fantastic Arabian marketplace.

Take the Abra ride to the most successful pearl diving port, Creek and absorb the views of Bur Dubai and Deira. It costs you 1 Dirham.

Transport yourself to another world of heritage and tradition as you walk through the houses of Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood that showcase the wind towers. These have been now painstakingly restored and revamped to cafes, museums, and art galleries. If you look to have more of your time here and are intrigued by the history, meander through the Dubai Heritage Village, Dubai Museum, and Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum’s House.

2. Have fun at Dubai Mall

At a whopping 13 million square feet in size, the Dubai Mall is one of the largest malls in the world. In the afternoon, duck inside this beehive of activities and air-conditioned mall. Fashion Avenue is the redefinition of luxury with over 200 global labels on clothes, bags, footwear, accessories for both men and women, suiting all kinds of occasions. You can extend the shopping by picking furnishings and toys. During DSF, there are stacks of discounts, offers and rewards.

That’s a typical mall, isn’t it? Well, the entertainment is taken very seriously here and that makes it extraordinary. Let your kids learn about the adult world through interactive role-play in KidZania. Immerse in truly unique and luxurious cinema experience at Reel Cinemas, fight your nightmares and fear at Hysteria, be startled by the giant dinosaur skeleton named Dino which dates 150 million years back, get transported to another virtual world at VR Park, and skate in the Dubai Ice Rink.

The major highlight is watching and diving in the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo that has a 10-million-liter suspended tank, 140 species of marine life and 300 sharks and rays. It is impossible to do all, but one must try any one of these to enjoy the signature fun zones.

Being a leisure destination, it is home to heaps of restaurants and cafes serving all kinds of cuisines on the table. From French and Italian to Chinese and Asian, there are some top names in the Downtown Eats. So, have your lunch and brunch and refill the energy.

3. Buy combo tickets for Burj Khalifa

163 floors, 828 m high, 26,000 glass panels for a mirror-finish- the iconic, cloud-piercing skyscraper distinguishes from the rest. Travel in the world’s fastest elevator to the 124th floor, find your heart thumping at the open terrace on 125th floor offering incredible 360-view and then climb the world’s highest observation deck on the 148th floor where you can lounge, view and admire.

Watch the sunset with a drink in hand – there’s no finer way to celebrate the landmarks of Dubai, all in one day.

One of the best few free attractions in Dubai, include Dubai Fountain. Well, it could be observed from the spaces available nearby like Boardwalk, and from the footsteps of Burj Khalifa. Take a look at the dancing fountain on world-class music.

4. Set sailing in Dhow Cruise in Marina

Dubai is less known for cruises and beaches, although its significant presence in the city is unavoidable. Amongst many lavish options, the Dhow Cruise in Dubai is the refurbished model of the traditional boats and this feature sets it apart from the fleet of cruises. The affluent Dubai Marina is the luxury neighbourhood in the city that is flanked by high-rise apartment buildings, restaurants, malls, and cafes.

In the evening, it’s twinkling as if the stars are in the sky and on the earth. To soak in its enchanting views, nothing be better than the two-hour cruising. There are also live shows like Tanoura and magical act that enliven the audience. The gourmet buffet dinner, refreshments, and an array of dessert keep your spirit refuelling.
