how to manage my trip

I had a friend who once won first prize, a week's holiday in Dubai, in a competition. Upon return all he could say was : "How unlucky was I?"

Second prize was probably two weeks in Dubai.

First off, try to find the Dubai coupon & voucher book - many discounts and 2 for 1 offers. Look on Ebay, e.g..

If you have the vouchers,you can get cheap entrance to Burj Khalifa. Best time is early evening to get the sunset.
There souks to visit - e.g. Gold Souk where gold is sold by weight. Spice Souk - self explanatory.
There are several Malls, including one with an indoor ice skating rink and loads of very expensive shops.
Then, there is the Walk which runs along the marina - nice after dark when there are lots of brightly lit dinner cruise ships sailing up and down.

Places to visit on a short trip, my suggestions are Burj Khalifa, Dubai Museum, Wil Wadi Water Park, Mall of the Emirates and Ski Dubai.
