Dubai Abu Dhabi 6-day itinerary - recommended visa-free travel destinations
It is recommended to take Emirates Airlines direct flight. The starry sky on the ceiling is very beautiful. Booking seats early can allow you to spend a few hundred more to choose seats in the first row or near the emergency exit. This will make the long flight much more comfortable.
DAY 1 Gold Souk - Burj Al Arab - Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo - Dubai Mall
After a long flight, the first day is mainly for leisure and shopping.
Golden Market: mainly selling gold, with nearly 1000 shops selling different styles of gold jewelry, including European art style, rich Asian style, Arab traditional style from the Middle East and North Africa. Many of the gold jewelry in Dubai are 22K. If you see a craft you particularly like, you can buy it, but if you value the purity of the gold material, it is not recommended to make a purchase.
Burj Khalifa: the symbol of Dubai, 828 meters high, with 162 floors. You can overlook the panoramic view of Dubai on the observation deck on the 124th floor. The night view is especially beautiful. The best time to climb the tower is at sunset, where you can see two different styles of Dubai, day and night. The observation deck is composed of two parts, one is fully enclosed indoors, where you can walk around, and the other is an outdoor balcony where you can take panoramic photos of the city.
Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo: Located inside Dubai Mall, the aquarium features large aquatic tanks and a glass-bottom boat ride for visitors to explore.

DAY 2 Dubai - Abu Dhabi - Ferrari World
From Dubai, charter a car to Abu Dhabi and start a two-day tour. After this trip, it was discovered that Abu Dhabi is actually more worth visiting. This two-day tour was rushed, so next time it is possible to come to Abu Dhabi alone.

Abu Dhabi 8-star Palace afternoon tea: 2-day tour includes visiting the Abu Dhabi 8-star hotel, tasting the hotel's afternoon tea, and if you want gold leaf coffee, you need to pay extra.

There's nothing memorable about the afternoon tea, and the gold leaf coffee tastes no different from regular coffee, it's just good for taking pictures.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque: magnificent, exquisite, and delicate, one of the must-visit attractions in Abu Dhabi. The entire mosque is covered with countless golden and white marble bricks, and there are tens of thousands of crystal chandeliers.
