First-time visitors with three to five days
First Time in Dubai
The eight things worth doing before you plan anything clever
If this is your first trip, resist the urge to build an elaborate itinerary. Dubai rewards a simple one: get your bearings with a city tour on day one, do the desert on day two, spend an evening on the water, and use the rest for whatever caught your eye while you were here. This collection is that plan, in order. Book the Burj Khalifa and the Museum of the Future early — both are timed-entry and both sell out several days ahead through the winter.
