Things to see

Beyond the marble-floored halls, high-ceilinged auditoriums, and flashy fitness facilities of the International Exhibition and Convention Centre, there’s plenty to explore in the sun-kissed city of Dubai during your off-hours. Business travellers with a penchant for luxury shopping should spend an afternoon in the sprawling Dubai Mall, which boasts in excess of 1,000 shops - ranging from designer fashion boutiques to gadget-filled electronics stores. Afterwards, take a trip to the sharp-pointed Burj Khalifa tower, a sleek-silvery 829 metre-high sky scraper. There’s an outdoor observation deck on the 148th floor, where you can make use of high-powered electronic telescopes to view the golden desert and sparkling Persian Gulf.

After, regain your balance at the serene lush-green Burj Khalifa park, where the gardens are speckled with water-features and flowery desert trees. History-buffs should finish their day at the Dubai Museum - based in the old-world Al Fahidi Fort - which displays ancient archaeological artefacts.

How to get to Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre

Dubai International Airport - based 10 kilometres from Downtown - is an enormous centre of global aviation. It serves direct flights from many top European cities, such as London, Amsterdam, and Paris. From the airport, you can hop on the red metro line direct to the Word Trade Centre - the ride will take around 30 minutes. Alternatively, take a metered taxicab. Many upscale Dubai hotels also provide pick-up services. To explore the city, taxicabs are the most popular option, as the metro line is somewhat skeletal. There is an extensive and inexpensive public bus network, too.
