WHAT TO DO IN DUBAI IN 48 HOURS?

Combine all the activities and visits below in 48 hours to get the most out of Dubai: it's possible by passing through downtown Dubai, then its coastline and finally the Dubai desert.
DAY 1: Discover downtown Dubai
- Morning: To get your 48-hour marathon in Dubai off to a good start, climb to the top of the world's tallest tower: the Burj Khalifa.
Take advantage of your proximity to the Dubai mall and Souk Al Bahar to dine in one of the many restaurants facing the world's largest fountains or the Burj Khalifa. (Social House, Nando's, Carluccio's, Texas de Brazil, Bice Mare, Serafina, Time Out Market)
In the afternoon, visit the world's largest aquarium inside the Dubai Mall, then stroll through this gigantic shopping mall and discover the many luxury boutiques.
In the evening, don't miss the fountain show at the foot of the Burj Khalifa and next to the Dubai Mall. This show takes place in the evening from 6pm to 11pm, with a show every 30 minutes. Each show is choreographed with water jets and different music, and lasts around 5 minutes. And it's free, so make the most of it!
After marvelling at this one, we recommend you dine in the financial district: DIFC, where you'll find many atmospheric restaurants offering menus that won't disappoint: Roberto's, Amazonico, Zuma, Cipriani, Shanghai Me, BB Social Dining, Vibe Restaurant, Gaia, La Petite Maison etc...
