A Day in Dubai

A Day in Dubai: Perfect Stopover Guide

Dubai is a wonderful stopover city that offers beyond imagination! Almost equidistant from Britain and major Asian and African destinations, it has become a well-known stopover in the UAE for long-haul services. And the credit goes to its unceasing gung ho for superlatives – tallest, biggest and the boldest creations found nowhere else on earth.

Britons booking tickets for flights and opting Dubai as a lay over would do themselves a world of good. They can bask into an awe-inspiring blend of Arabian attractions and latter-day wonders, indulge in shopping sprees and experience a barrel of fun. Here is a day guide for attractions and activities to do in this glorious emirate of UAE.

Morning

Graced with world’s tallest structures, lavish hotels and man-made islands, the emirate has an eye for the best of magnificence and extravagance. Travellers can kick off their journey by hopping on a taxi to the district of Deira in the city centre and soak up the charm of vibrant bazaar life. The Gold Souk, packed with tiny shops selling everything from debonair Italian-style jewellery to Arabian bling, remains a compelling stop for one and all. Then there is a sweet-smelling Spice Souk nearby that brims with all kinds of spices. You will surely find heaps of opportunities to make the most of the money spent on booking tickets for cheap indirect flights. Aboard one of hundreds of abras, the little old-fashioned boats ferrying passengers across the Creek, and make way to Bur Dubai district. The journey offers remarkable views of souks and skyscrapers en route. Get off the abra and take a stroll through the spick-and-span Textile Souk to outstanding Dubai Museum, a repository of traditional life in the Gulf. It is one of the most rewarding gambols that rank high on travel circuit of most vacationers who bag tickets for flights to the UAE.

Lunch

Make a beeline to Sheikh Zayed Road for lunch. Behold the glistening avalanche of skyscrapers lined up in tandem. Grab some Chinese exotics at renowned Noodle House that catches the fancy of almost every epicurean who reserves tickets for flights and choose this metropolis as a stopover. After this, one can wander through uber-cool Emirates Tower Boulevard mall that boasts the greatest collection of designer brands in UAE.

Afternoon and Evening

Explore the glitzy Sheikh Zayed Road and get ready for a ride of a newfound world that sets millions of leisure travellers to grab tickets for flights to jaunt this metropolis of the UAE. Here one can feast eyes on legendary sail-shaped Burj Al Arab hotel and explore the new Mall of the Emirates. You are sure to have plethora of activities to do to enjoy the fine nightlife of the UAE!
