If you are planning to travel to Dubai or Abu Dhabi here are a few things we did right:
1. We stayed at JBR in Dubai instead of Downtown. Even at 4:00 AM, we could just walk down our Airbnb and cafes/coffee places would be open.
2. Booked a private Yacht. If you are more than 5-6 people, do try it.
3. Did not shop. Dubai is NOT a shopping destination, everything is equally or more expensive than India. (Obviously apart from local perfumes and chocolates)
4. If you want to shop, go to a smaller mall instead of Dubai Mall.
5. If you plan to go clubbing, check out C'est La Vie. It has a view of the Burj Khalifa, and they have a ladies' night every Saturday.
6. Ferrari World might have very long queues, so get your passes upgraded or you will miss most rides.
7. SeaWorld is equally fun. They also have roller coasters and some other fun rides.
8. Have breakfast at Society, Abu Dhabi. Everthing was extremely good.
