4 Times Square Centre: Times Square has a range of stores including the largest one-stop electronics shop in Dubai, Sharaf DG.

5 Burj Al Arab: Just because you’re taking public transport, doesn’t mean you can’t have a bit of seven-star opulence in your life. OK so arriving at the sail-shaped icon in a bus doesn’t have the same glamour as flying onto its helipad, but it’s worth stopping by anyway – at least you can enjoy its neighbouring free open beach.
