Dubai is the largest gateway between Europe and Asia. If you have a few hours of time between flights, this is the perfect place to set out to discover the beauties and attractions of this modern world in the desert. In one day you will see the most interesting things that Dubai has to offer

Beginning in Dubai Marina

It is ideal to start at the farthest point of this trip. Dubai Marina can be reached either by taxi directly from the airport or by Metro. You can stay here while watching the most famous trip or spend hours before you get around it

Walk through Dubai Marina

Walk between skyscrapers

Altitude: 9 m / 30 ft

Dubai's biggest attractions include the local marina surrounded on all sides by skyscrapers. There is a circular path, a total length of about 8 km, along which you can walk the whole area and enjoy the views. The marina is just a short walk from a metro station, so it is also easily accessible by public transport continue reading

Swimming or walking on the beach JBR

In addition, it is only half a kilometer from Dubai Marina to a nice long beach – JBR Beach or Marina Beach from where there is a great view of the world's largest ferris wheel – the Dubai Eye (Ain Dubai).

Burj Khalifa and Aquarium

From the metro we get off at the Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall metro station, from here we take the „endless“ covered corridor laugh Dubai Mall, which is said to be the largest shopping gallery in the world. Here is a great attraction – Dubai Aquarium. After a tour of the aquarium, we ascend in the direction of Souk Al Bahar Bridge from where there is a magnificent view of the Burj Khalifa and a huge lake with a fountain.

Aquarium in the largest shopping center in the world

Dubai Mall is one of the largest shopping malls in the world. If you are not interested in shopping, you still have at least one reason to stop here when visiting Dubai. That is why the huge Dubai mall aquarium. You can go around it for free and enjoy the many views. In the paid version, there is also a passage through the underwater tunnel continue reading

After walking through the aquarium, we get out of the Dubai Mall at Burj Khalifa Lake, from where there are great views of the world's tallest skyscraper, Burj Khalifa.

Burj Khalifa Lake

In addition to the Burj Khalifa itself, the lake of the same name is also worth seeing. On its edge is a souqu building in a historic style. Of course, the skyline is made up of skyscrapers

Way back to the subway

The way back we do not go through the corridor but along the sidewalk and we can enjoy more and more skyscrapers

Al Fahidi Fort - Dubai Museum

If you still have some time, you can see the history of the emirates in addition to skyscrapers. The most beautiful example is Al Fahidi Fort, which also serves as a museum. If you want to go here you have to change to the green line and enter the station Fahidi. From here it is still almost a kilometer on foot
