Family holidays in Dubai

Get ready for a wonderfully wet and wild family holiday in Dubai. Make a big splash on your family holiday at Dubai's Jumeirah Beach. Escape the heat by herding the family indoors to Dubai's kid-friendly shopping malls. Or take a ride on a camel on a memorable desert trek. You'll find all your favourite restaurants from home plus a smorgasbord of new tastes for all the family to try on Dubai holidays.

Dubai family holidays: attractions

Follow the thrilling water rides at Wild Wadi theme park with a picnic and a swim in the sea at Jumeirah Beach Park on your Dubai family holiday. For sand without sea and memories the kids won't forget, take a magical desert camel trek, or swap the sun for snow at Ski Dubai's indoor slopes. Escape the heat on family holidays at Dubai's air-conditioned shopping malls with interactive attractions like Magic Planet, Fun City and Encounter Zone.

Dubai family holidays: outdoors

A family-friendly Dubai holiday is all about getting outdoors. Let the kids spread their water wings on the water slides at Wild Wadi theme park or have beach fun and games at Al Mamzar Park. Spot flamingos at Dubai Wildlife &Waterbird Sanctuary, then ride the toy train or play games by the lakes at Safa Park. Rest tired feet with a cruise down the Creek in a dhow (boat) munching delicious sweets from Little India.

Dubai family holidays: daytrips

Your Dubai family holiday wouldn't be complete without taking a daytrip to explore the oasis town of Hatta. Splash in its rock pools and waterfalls, and marvel at the dramatic Hajar Mountains. Escape the city lights and transform your family holiday to Dubai into an overnight desert safari, Bedouin-style, and count the twinkling stars in the desert night sky.
