Dubai is the number one destination if you want to escape for a few days of sun during winter. The destination is accessible through direct flights, the jet-lag is reasonable and the city allows for a perfect change of scenery, without being too disoriented. Honestly, you\u2019ll never get bored in Dubai! There are tons of things to do, for everyone and every budget. In this article, you can read about our Dubai itinerary, in the next article I\u2019m writing, you\u2019ll be able to read about the good places tested out. This was my second trip to Dubai, I went a first time last year and wrote this article<\/a>\u00a0where I talk about my first experience in the city<\/a>!

First day in Dubai : farniente !<\/h2>

We got there very early in the morning, we were coming to Dubai with Emirates Airways<\/a>. We had the whole day ahead of us, which was kind of nice because we got to relax and fight the jet-lag. So, the program of the day was: FARNIENTE! we arrived in our hotel, the\u00a0Amwaj Rotana<\/a>,\u00a0where we checked in and had breakfast. The hotel was very big (like any other hotel in Dubai) and very family-friendly. The location was ideal and the rooms were very spacious! However, the hotel has a very \u201cbusiness-y\u201d feel and lacks charm and authenticity. It would be the only negative thing I have to say about it because for the rest everything was perfect (especially the breakfast and the amazing bedding, I\u2019ve rarely slept this well).\r
After a little nap, we headed over to\u00a0Nikki Beach<\/a> to have breakfast and spend the afternoon in the sun. I think you\u2019re all familiar with the concept of Nikki Beach by now, seen as it is notorious enough: pools filled with inflatable animals, loud music, sublime clientele, small pool-side shows\u2026Nikki Beach in all its splendor! It was the ideal place to spend this first day in Dubai: we enjoyed the sun-rays from there sunbeds with a view on the ocean, we had the pleasure of seeing concerts and shows, the mood was very fun, we had good food\u2026all in all,\u00a0perfect!\u00a0

Dubai itinerary second day: visit the Burj Khalifa!<\/h2>

Afters a good night\u2019s sleep, we decided to to the top of the\u00a0Burj Khalifa<\/a>,\u00a0this impressive tower is the symbol of Dubai\u2019s \u201cgrandness\u201d. About 800 meters tall, it was built in only\u20265 years. Pretty impressive, just like the view from the top. You can purchase fast track tickets<\/a> to skip lines, however these cost double the normal entry fee, so that\u2019s up to you! You should know, though, that VIP tickets offer access to a second less crowded rooftop, about 15 floors above, and also includes a few drinks.\r
We took the opportunity of being in the neighborhood to take a look at the famous\u00a0Dubai Mall<\/a>. Trust me, if you\u2019re looking for something\u2026they have it! You could tour this mall for days on end, it is just SO BIG. It\u2019s clearly worth a look. For the price, the clothes are more expensive than in Europe, but tech and luxury watches are less!\r
We then took an\u00a0Uber\u00a0and headed over the\u00a0La Mer District<\/a>. If you ask me, Uber is the best way to circulate in Dubai, because taxis don\u2019t speak English very well, even though they are less expensive. The only time we took a taxi, they tried to rip us off saying that the credit card machine didn\u2019t work \u2013\u00a0which is\u00a0apparently a classic we found out by talking to people there\u00a0\u2013 and they took us to 3 different banks for us to withdraw cash. Know that if this happens to you, you can simply refuse to pay because they are\u00a0obligated to let you pay via card. With Uber, none of these problems emerge and as a plus, there is WiFi available throughout the city to order them!\r
La Mer\u00a0is a district entirely created to enjoy the beach in all comfort. If you\u2019re travelling with kids, I highly recommend spending the day here!\u00a0You can enjoy all the comfort you need on the beach: showers, towels, sunbeds, nautical sports etc\u2026Once you are finished relaxing, you can engage in other activities such as shopping, kids games, bars, restaurants\u2026it is really a fun way to spend a day with the whole family!\u00a0
