One Day Itinerary for Dubai

Morning Desert Safari or a Hot Air Balloon Ride

If you happen to land in Dubai at night, then an exciting morning desert safari that takes all of three to four hours is the right thing to do after you wake up. If you are looking for more adventure packed activities to utilise your time, then opt for a seaplane trip or a hot air balloon flight for catching a bird’s eye view of some of the best architectural marvels of Dubai—Burj Khalifa included.

While a hot air balloon ride may take up a greater part of your day, you can expect to be back in the air-conditioned comforts of your room in about two hours after a seaplane ride. These pre-breakfast activities will leave the remaining day free for other interesting activities like shopping, dining, enjoying other sport events, visiting manmade islands, relaxing on Jumeirah Beach or cruising along Dubai’s creek

History and Culture

If you are one of those globe trotters who love to delve into the history and culture of a city, then you may like to spend good time in the precincts of the Bastakia Quarter. It presents excellent opportunities for appreciating Dubai’s bygone era. A quick tour of the city’s old, narrow lanes, an enlightening walk through the Dubai Museum and a ride in the traditional boat (abra) on the waters of Dubai Creek, are some other alternatives that promise to make your day more fulfilling.
