Family holidays to Dubai cram every day with fun-filled entertainment and next-level experiences – think epic theme parks, like Legoland to Motiongate, pristine, swimmable beaches, and iconic skyscrapers.
A sun-drenched city built for tourists, Dubai delivers action-packed family-friendly holidays you’ll never forget. The world’s tallest skyscraper and Dubai’s centrepiece, the Burj Khalifa, is hard to beat for sky-high views. And back on the ground, destination resort Atlantis, The Palm boasts an aquarium, wave pool and a truly awesome water park.
Outside the city, the desert offers adventures galore, including quad biking, sandboarding and camel riding. You can even spend a dreamy night camped under the stars.
Jumeirah
Jumeirah’s stunning public beaches make it perfect for holidaymakers looking for fun in the sun. Kite Beach is excellent for kids, with a skate park, trampolines and kite surfing. There’s also an abundance of great restaurants and family-friendly hotels, whatever your budget or style.
Downtown Dubai
Downtown Dubai is brimming with activities for kids. Check out the enormous Dubai Mall, with its aquarium, ice rink and KidZania – a children’s educational entertainment complex. Make sure you stick around for the amazing water fountain show. You’ll find the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, here too – it’s literally unmissable.
Dubai desert
For something totally different, head into Dubai’s magical desert. Step back in time with an overnight experience that includes a traditional barbecue feast, henna art and stargazing. Kick it up a notch by sandboarding down dunes, 4x4 dune bashing or treating the whole family to the thrill of a sunset hot-air balloon ride.
