Turn Your Dubai Stopover into a Mini Holiday
Whether you’re in transit or planning a long-haul flight with a break in between, Dubai is the perfect place to stretch your legs, indulge in world-class experiences, and make every hour count. With its seamless connectivity and vibrant energy, Dubai offers a dynamic stopover experience that’s more than just a pause—its a destination in itself. Here’s how to spend a spectacular 24 hours in Dubai:
Start Your Morning at the Beach—or on the Greens
If you arrive early, ease into the day with some sun and sea. Dubai’s beaches and beach clubs offer pristine stretches of sand, water sports, and luxurious lounging. Prefer land over water? Tee off at one of Dubai’s renowned championship golf courses such as Emirates Golf Club, Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club or Jumeirah Golf Estates.
Take in the Views from the Burj Khalifa
No visit to Dubai is complete without seeing its most iconic landmark. Just 15 minutes from the airport, the Burj Khalifa offers panoramic city views from its sky-high observation decks. Dive into the story behind the world’s tallest building and marvel at its innovative design.
Shop, Play, and Explore at Dubai Mall
Next, head to the sprawling Dubai Mall, where luxury brands, local finds, and family-friendly attractions await. Be sure to visit the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, glide across the Dubai Ice Rink, or catch the mesmerizing Dubai Fountain show.
Refuel at Time Out Market
Located in Souk Al Bahar, Time Out Market Dubai is a curated culinary hub where local eateries showcase the best of the city’s diverse flavours. Whether you’re craving Emirati, Asian, or Mediterranean cuisine, you’ll find something delicious here.
