I'll be getting tix to go up the Burj Kalifa at sunset, and I'm tempted by the Dubai Highlights Bus Tour - get on/get off all day on two different routes, plus a few river trips. But I'm thinking I can probably get around with an all-day monorail ticket.

I'm just starting to research and am looking for suggestions. I'm looking more for cultural, natural, and photographic attractions than restaurants or night clubs. Though I admit I'm tempted by the $65-ish breakfast at the Burj Al Arab, seems to be the cheapest way in the building

I'll be staying at the Four Points Bur Dubai

48 hours are a bit short. Can jam in most major sight.
Hop-on-off is good idea. I used the day pass that covers all metro & buses.
Gold souk, fish market, dubai creek walk, dubai mall, burj al arab etc...

as far photos, see this for reference:

The 4-points bur duabi is located between 2 metro stations. Both are short walk. A mall is close to one of the stations. second floor has a food court. Some good food up there.

You will enjoy dubai. Safe travel.
