The decision to go to Dubai was purely to do something for the kids and keep them at the centre of the trip. If that is your intent then you are picking the right destination.
We planned our itinerary keeping in mind the kids and I really think you’re going to find it very helpful when you plan your family’s next holiday!
From adventure parks to the beach to the amazing food and a trip to the Gold Souk there is just so much for everyone to do! We have listed out in detail places you should visit, eating joints that you must check out, adventure parks the kids will love and a lot more.
Watch the travel vlog video to get a glimpse of all the fun my family & I had in Dubai.
