Dubai
Dubai grew from a creek-side trading port into a city of glass towers, pairing old souks, wind-tower houses and abra boat crossings with beaches, desert landscapes and some of the tallest buildings in the world.

Day six returns to the Palm for The View at The Palm and Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark, then ends downtown with Dubai Opera and Sky Views Dubai.
Six days cover the city, the coast and the Palm. Only a day of wildlife, rainforest and art is left for a seventh day.
Usually not. The sixth day suits families and anyone who likes waterparks and high viewpoints.
Start at The View at The Palm, spend the middle of the day at Atlantis Aquaventure, and finish downtown with Dubai Opera and the views from Sky Views Dubai.
