This 7-day trip covers key sights across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It starts in Old Dubai and moves through downtown, beach and palm areas, plus desert reserves before the drive to Abu Dhabi. The order groups sites by region each day and reserves the Abu Dhabi portion for the final three days.
Seven days covers the main sites in both cities, with the last three days in Abu Dhabi.
Book Burj Khalifa tickets online ahead in busy months. Early morning slots are quieter and cheaper; sunset slots cost more and sell out first.
Take a taxi or rental car on the E11 highway for the 1.5 hour drive. The E101 bus from Ibn Battuta bus station runs regularly and takes about two hours.
Wear loose clothing that covers arms and legs. Women must also cover their hair. Arrive dressed appropriately, as loan robes are not always available.
