Why choose between lazy beach days and the buzz of a world-famous city when you can enjoy both? With the right base, you can spend the morning by the sea, explore Dubai’s iconic attractions in the afternoon and finish the day with a delicious dinner overlooking the city lights!
First, Find the Ideal Place to Stay
Choose one of the hotels near the Palm Dubai, putting the city’s beaches and attractions within easy reach. The Dubai Marina, shopping, sightseeing and dining are just minutes away, while access to the Dubai Tram and Palm Monorail makes exploring simple. Ideal properties like Avani+ Palm View Dubai Hotel & Suites feature spacious studios and apartments with kitchens, plus an outdoor pool, several restaurants, a gym, and a kids’ club, not forgetting free Wi-Fi.
Beach Bliss
Make time for JBR Beach, where you can relax on the sand, enjoy a swim or let the children burn off some energy. The lively beachfront also offers plenty of shopping and dining, while adventurous travellers can try wakeboarding, parasailing and other water sports. As the day winds down, settle into a restaurant near the shore and enjoy the laidback atmosphere without having to rush anywhere.
Modern Marvels
This destination’s futuristic side is impossible to miss, from Palm Jumeirah and Aquaventure World to the soaring Burj Khalifa and spectacular Ain Dubai. Indulge in retail therapy at Dubai Mall, take to the slopes at Ski Dubai, watch the Dubai Fountain come alive and step into the innovative Museum of the Future. For family fun, add attractions such as IMG Worlds of Adventure and other thrilling theme parks.
History & Heritage
When you need a break from skyscrapers, discover Dubai’s more traditional side in the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, where winding lanes and restored buildings offer a glimpse into the city’s past. Browse the colourful gold and spice souks, wander beside the Dubai Creek and later, hop aboard a traditional abra for a memorable journey along this historic waterway.
