Travel Guide to Spend\u00a0Week in Dubai<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Day one \u2013 Take it easy<\/h3>\n

\"Dubai<\/p>\n

On day one, your flight to Dubai and checking in to your hotel\/resort itself is likely to make you feel exhausted. And the sudden increase in temperature can make you sweat buckets too! So it is better you stay in your hotel<\/a> or resort and change into something light and head to the pool. If the place you\u2019re staying at does not have a pool, you could always head off to the beach. Dine out if you must, but return back early to recharge yourself for the next day.<\/p>\n

Day two – Start Exploring<\/h3>\n

\"Dubai-Jumeirah\"<\/p>\n

After catching up on some much-needed rest, get back on the saddle and head off to famous tourist spots. Start by visiting the Palm Jumeirah and then head on to the famous Atlantis Hotel. Capture some memories and head back to the mainland and take a walk by the Marina to unwind. The last spot on your list for the second day must be the grand Burj Al-Arab. With the attractions by, the coast covered, you could head back to the hotel and rest until the sun comes up the next morning. If you\u2019re traveling through one of the many Dubai Holiday Packages<\/a>, you are sure to make your way to all these spots in a day.<\/p>\n

Visible from almost every corner of Dubai, the Burj Khalifa is something you cannot miss. But before you enter, visit the grand Dubai Mall and shop to your heart\u2019s content. After you\u2019re done shopping<\/a>, head to the tower itself. If you\u2019ve timed your visit properly, you\u2019ll be able to watch a one-of-a-kind sunset from the 124th<\/sup> floor. Once the sun goes down, bring your day to a close by the magnificent Dubai Fountains before heading back to the hotel.<\/p>\n

Day seven \u2013 Pack up<\/h3>\n

\"Dubai<\/p>\n

The last day of your week in Dubai is when you take your time packing up. Make sure you\u2019ve packed everything, especially the momentos that you\u2019ve picked up for your friends and family back home.
