Dubai For the Whole Family
Once a quaint fishing village in the Arabian Gulf, Dubai is now famously known as one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. With an average of 300 days of sunshine every day, it can offer the perfect getaway for families. With the range of accommodation in Dubai so vast, there is a huge choice of luxury hotels as well as the world’s only 7-star hotel! We know that not everyone has that kind of budget, so you will be happy to know there are many affordable options as well, even budget hotels popping up, meaning a trip to Dubai doesn’t have to pull on the finances quite as much as you first thought. Considering the sun is almost constantly shining, we expect that you will fancy a couple of days by the pool, I mean who wouldn’t? however, there is much more to Dubai than meets the eye with enough to keep even the most active of families entertained for a week or two!
Here are our top picks for families heading to Dubai…
Visit a waterpark: Dubai is home to many amazing waterparks, including Aquaventure, the world’s largest waterpark, based at the Atlantis the Palm hotel. With a staggering 79 slides and attractions, it provides a fun and hectic family day out. From splash zones for the little ones to exhilarating adrenalin rushing rides for teenagers, a visit to Aquaventure is sure to be a huge hit. To end the fantastic day with an extra treat, stop by the Cold Stone Creamery on your way out for a delicious ice cream or milkshake whilst watching the team throwing ice cream around cocktail style!
Visit the Mall
The iconic Dubai Mall is a separate destination in itself. Featuring an ice rink, aquarium, soft play, a haunted attraction, trampoline area and a VR Park. You will also be able to catch an impressive dancing fountain show every 30 minutes between 6pm and 11pm. For a sensational view of the dancing fountains from above, go to the Observation Deck as the Burj Khalifa. Certainly not something to miss out on!
Kite Beach

Head to the desert
