Popular UAE Family Activities
1) Theme Parks and Attractions
The UAE is full of them, and you can’t miss it! For instance, 3-12-year-old kids will love Dubai Parks and Resorts. Legoland Dubai and Legoland Water Park are the dream of real LEGO lovers!
Want to take a photo with Spiderman and shake hands with Hulk? Welcome to IMG Worlds of Adventure. The world’s largest indoor theme park makes it possible to meet your favourite Marvel hero. Your kid will be in heaven.
Is your family a fan of Batman? No problems, come to Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi! A theme park featuring DC characters and cartoons is waiting for you.
For a family with teenagers who are eager to experience something extreme, we recommend Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. It attracts not only older children but also adults. For the most fearless, there is the world’s fastest roller coaster (please share your impressions with us after).
Advice from experienced UAE travelers is to rent a car. Thus, you won’t choose between the fastest rides and Lego space – you will have both!
And also prefer parks with covered and air-conditioned areas to avoid overheating outside.
2) Beaches and Water Adventures
So, let’s first drive to Jumeirah Beach. Then take your family to the well-known Dubai Aquarium. Later, you may move to Al Mamzar Beach Park, but we recommend leaving it for the next day to enjoy this place after a good rest! Any beach you see will impress you with tidiness, kid-friendly designs, and breathtaking landscapes. Take your camera (or hire a photographer) and take great family pictures! And do not forget to spice up your relaxing holiday with some active water sports.
3) Culture and History
Mosques, ancient markets, and museums will introduce you completely different culture, traditions, and lifestyle. They even have their own Louvre! But remember to respect local traditions and wear modest, long clothing in public places.
4) Safari
No matter how old your kids are, whether they are keen on extreme sports or not. Safari will conquer everyone’s heart! Imagine driving a jeep through the sand or something safer – ride the camel. There are no such entertainments in big cities. Kids and adults will be impressed!
