There is no doubt that Dubai is one of the most enthralling destinations on the globe. In this city, visitors will encounter avant-garde architecture, lavish shopping malls, historical attractions, vibrant nightlife and many more interesting things to see and do. Although there is a great deal to experience in this metropolis, you could visit many of its foremost attractions even if you have just a single day to spend sightseeing. Some suggestions for enjoying 24 hours in Dubai are provided below.

A truly unforgettable way to start your day in this city is to embark on an early morning ride on a hot air balloon that will take you high above the metropolis. As you might expect, you will have the opportunity to enjoy stunning views over the city and the desert during your ride. It is always an entrancing spectacle to observe the sun rising above the lofty Hajar Mountains. After your memorable balloon excursion, you could enjoy a gourmet breakfast amidst a genuine Bedouin campsite which would also be an unforgettable experience as well.

Your next experience in Dubai is visiting its absorbing souks which are traditional marketplaces. Long before the lavish malls appeared on the scene, the people of the city did their shopping in these charming souks. The Gold Souk is an entrancing sight with its vast quantities of precious metal and exquisite jewellery. On the other hand, the Spice Souk is rather different, being filled with a selection of exotic spices and herbs. After exploring these two sites, you could make your way to the picturesque Dubai Creek and take a ride on an abra which is a traditional boat.

Now, you may take the opportunity to visit the splendid Jumeirah Mosque where you could gain an insight into the Islamic faith. This is the sole mosque in Dubai that may be visited by non-Muslims and you would be able to join one of the guided tours that are conducted here from Saturday through Thursday at 10 am; remember to dress modestly. After your tour, you could enjoy a typical local lunch at Al Mallah Restaurant; the chicken shawarma and mixed grill are good choices here.

Next, you may visit the beautiful Dubai Miracle Garden, the biggest flower garden on the planet! Here, you will encounter more than 100 million vibrantly coloured flowers which present a striking sight. Visitors will see that different kinds of flowers have been shaped into eye-catching designs in this garden, including a huge replica of an A380 aircraft. Keep in mind that this attraction is open during specific periods of the year, so check ahead before you visit.

Your trip to this city wouldn’t be complete without experiencing the lavish Dubai Mall which is considered to be one of the largest malls in the world. In addition to more than 1,000 shops, you will encounter a theme park, aquarium, ice rink and other attractions here. It would be best if you also took the chance to view the nearby Dubai Fountain which presents an alluring sight with its vibrant lights and choreographed jets of water. An accommodation choice to consider from which you could easily visit both this mall and fountain is Avani+ Palm View Dubai Hotel & Suites where you could stay at a pleasingly located sea view apartment in Dubai.

Don't forget to visit the jaw-dropping Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building and admire the stunning views from its observation decks. You could then enjoy dinner with drinks at an appealing bar located in this building.

After your eventful day of sightseeing, you may very well feel like just going to bed at this point, but if you still have energy left, you could experience the city’s exciting nightlife! Amongst the bars and clubs you could head to are Iris Dubai and Zero Gravity Dubai offering a fun night out.
