A simple three-day plan for a Dubai stopover — perfect for families, couples and shoppers.

Day 1: Old and new Dubai

Start in Al Fahidi's historic quarter and take an abra across Dubai Creek to the spice and gold souks. In the evening, head up the Burj Khalifa at sunset, then watch the Dubai Fountain.

Day 2: Desert adventure

Spend the morning at the beach or a waterpark, then join an afternoon desert safari: dune driving, camel rides, a falconry display and dinner under the stars.

Day 3: Marina and shopping

Explore Dubai Marina and JBR, take a yacht cruise, then shop in one of the city's vast malls before a farewell dinner at a fine-dining restaurant.
