Day 1
16/01/2027
Arrive and exhale in Dubai — Burj Khalifa viewpoint

Focus: Arrival & settle Day notes: Aim to reach the stay before dark; pick up essentials nearby (water/snacks). If jetlag hits, take a short nap (30–45 mins max) so sleep stays intact. Anchor: Dubai. Keep the pace gentle—one good moment beats ten rushed ones. Trip notes: If something feels rushed, we’ll skip it. The goal is to come back rested, not exhausted. Keeping this plan intentionally unhurried—one meaningful highlight per day and plenty of buffer.
