Go to the Waterparks
The two most popular waterparks in Dubai are Wild Wadi and Atlantis. However, we found Dreamland to be extremely good for our young children!
Go to Ski Dubai
Located in Mall of the Emirates, Ski Dubai is a well-known indoor ski resort that can be enjoyed all year round. With ski Dubai having the largest indoor snow park in the world; it is easy to see why it would keep you entertained for hours with activities that include skiing, tobogganing and snowboarding or even watching the penguins!
Go on a Desert Safari
Whether you are living or visiting Dubai the experience is not completed until you have had a day out on a desert safari. A desert safari in Dubai is a day full of exciting activities such as dune bashing, camel riding and henna followed by the most popular activity: sand boarding down deep and daring sand dunes. The desert safari is then completed with an evening of entertainment as well as a BBQ dinner.
Go to the Observation Deck
Dubai is home to the tallest building in the world otherwise known as the Burj Khalifa. Going to the observation deck is a once in a life time experience that you will always remember!
Go to the Mall
For something simpler, going to the mall is also a way to keep busy on the weekend or in the summer holidays. Dubai is well known for its malls with the Dubai mall and Mall of the Emirates being the most popular.
Go to the Beach
Dubai has some of the most attractive beaches and visiting them is very popular with teenagers if they are looking to do something with friends. The Dubai beaches are best to visit in the winter and the Jumeriah Beach Park is great for kids and group BBQ’s with friends!
Go to the Parks
Dubai’s largest parks such as the Creek Park and Al Safa Park are popular parks to walk around in. There are different activities available for families to take part in such as boat rides, cycling and various other sports.
