Dubai in 3 days: Old Dubai, the skyline and the Jumeirah coast

The plan splits Dubai into three clusters so you don't shuttle back and forth along the city's long coastline. Day one is old Dubai and Dubai Creek: the wind-tower houses and coffee museum of Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, a traditional abra across to Deira, Al Shindagha Museum in the afternoon and the Souk Al Seef waterfront in the evening. Day two is the city centre: Dubai Frame in Zabeel Park in the morning, then the metro to Downtown for Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa. Day three is the Etihad Museum, where the UAE was founded, and the public beaches of the Jumeirah coast in the afternoon. The hottest hours are spent indoors and the outdoor stops are kept for the morning and sunset; stick to this order especially from April to October. The Museum of the Future is temporarily closed, so it is not included. Hours and fees link to the official source with the date we last checked them.
