Your trip expert can stretch, shorten or swap any day.
Land at Dubai International Airport and transfer to your hotel by private vehicle. Check in, rest and take an easy evening walk. Keep the first day light so you are fresh for the sightseeing days ahead.
Spend the day in Downtown Dubai with your timed Burj Khalifa entry, Dubai Mall and the Dubai Fountain. Choose one observation deck rather than several, and do not let the mall take the whole day. Rest in the afternoon.
Explore Old Dubai in the morning: the lanes of Al Fahidi, the souks and an abra crossing on Dubai Creek. Rest at the hotel, then take an evening desert safari with dunes at sunset.
Leave early for Abu Dhabi, roughly 90 minutes to two hours each way by road. Visit Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Qasr Al Watan. Check mosque entry rules and clothing requirements beforehand, and allow for inter-emirate traffic on the way back to Dubai.
Spend the day on Palm Jumeirah's resort beaches and viewpoints, allowing extra time for traffic. In the evening, walk the Dubai Marina and JBR waterfront after sunset.
Have breakfast and check out. Use a free morning for last shopping or a relaxed walk if your flight is later. Your driver takes you to the airport with enough time for traffic and check-in.
