Burj Khalifa
@florencefernandes
Start off with Breakfast at Atmosphere, the Lounge, with a minimum spend of 100 AED for 2 people this works out to cheaper than going to the viewing desk, and since they start at 7 a.m. it is aptly called Breakfast in the clouds !
Although Dubai usually experiences clear skies which means you will get clear bird's eye view of the city.
Note - You can skip the gold coffee unless you're feeling really fancy but DO NOT MISS a visit to the washroom - thank me later!

Once you're done clicking pictures and savoring your sky high view, get down and head over to the Wings Of Mexico statue.

Dubai Mall
@florencefernandes
From luxe to kidswear to mainstream, the mall is sure to have something for everyone. Get your name written in Mandarin in Chinatown or grab a Karak chai for 50 fils (while offer lasts), make the most of your visit to the Dubai Mall.

Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo
@florencefernandes
While you're at the mall you can visit the huge indoor Dubai Mall aquarium which is a fun activity for kids and adults alike.
