Tour start: Meet up with your guide in front of your Dubai hotel and hop in an air-conditioned ride to make your way to Al Bastakiya, a historic district home to the fortress-turned-museum Al Fahidi. Spend some time investigating the exhibits inside before hopping in a classic abra fishing boat and cruising across Dubai Creek to do some shopping among the vendors in Deira's Spice Souk and Gold Souk.
Afterward, work your way downtown, stopping to snap photos of the domes atop Jumeirah Mosque and the elegant curves of the decadent Burj Al Arab Hotel. Grab lunch near the world's largest choreographed fountain and admire another record-setter as you cruise beneath the shadow of the planet's tallest building, Burj Khalifa.
Imagine shopping at the Dubai Mall's 1,200 stores, catch glimpses of the man-made Palm Islands, and marvel at the effort it took to build all 79 of the Jumeirah Towers, sparkling skyscrapers that line the waterfront. Before you head back to your hotel, make one final stop at the Mall of the Emirates, where desert-dwelling locals head to carve through the powder at an indoor ski resort.
