Dubai first trip: 3, 4 or 5 full days?
Four full usable days is the broad starting point for a first Dubai visit: heritage, skyline, a selective coast day and one major experience can each have room. Choose three for a focused trip with deliberate omissions. Keep a fifth only when it buys slower time, another major experience or breathing room for heat and group pace.

Where to stay in Dubai: Downtown, Marina/JBR or Palm?
Downtown is the broad city-first default. Compare Business Bay, Marina/JBR and Palm by repeated daily journeys, exact hotel access and real resort priorities.

First trip to the UAE: Dubai base, Abu Dhabi add-on or Ras Al Khaimah escape?
Keep Dubai as the main UAE base, then decide whether Abu Dhabi earns a visit or stay and whether Ras Al Khaimah earns a separate 2–3-night escape.
