While there’s literally a long list of things to do and places to visit in Dubai, here are experiences that will make your family trip more fun!

See Burj Khalifa 

Kickstart Dubai explorations with your family at the Burj Khalifa—the tallest structure in the world that seems to share space with the sky itself.
Head to the observation deck for panoramic views of the city and the Arabian Desert. Take pictures of the spectacular show that unveils at sunset for a timeless memory. 

Visit Dubai Mall and Dubai Aquarium 

Adjacent to the Burj Khalifa is the must-visit Dubai Mall that is not only famous for its retail charm but also the captivating surroundings and not to forget, Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo.
As you splurge on luxury items and go cafe-hopping with your family, make sure to explore aquatic wonders behind the massive aquarium glass. It is truly one of the best hotspots to check off the list with your loved ones. 

Explore Al Fahidi Historic District 

Well, here’s your reminder to ensure a trip to Al Fahidi Historic District in Dubai in case it hasn’t crossed your mind already. Nestled along Dubai Creek, it is one of the places in the city that dates back before the seven emirates existed.
Be in awe of the wind-tower architecture made of palm wood, sandalwood, teak and gypsum. Stroll along narrow alleys filled with art galleries and charming cafes – and savour traditional food. 

Admire the Colourful Dubai Miracle Garden 

Escape to the Dubai Miracle Garden, a floral spectacle amidst the desert. Wander through vibrant displays of meticulously arranged flowers, capturing colourful family photos. The garden's enchanting beauty serves as a reminder of nature's resilience in the most unexpected places.  

Enjoy the Cultural Scene at Global Village 

Indulge in cultural extravaganza at Global Village, a straight-out-of-wonderland space that exhibits diverse traditions, cuisine, and arts from all around the world. Relish international delights, watch live performances, and shop for unique treasures with your family while admiring the kaleidoscope of global cultures set against Dubai's modern backdrop. 

Let the Thrill Kick in at Aquaventure Waterpark

Aquaventure Waterpark is a wonderland where your family can splash, slide, and bask in feel-good moments. Sign up for thrilling rides, visiting a pretty river, and letting your little ones enjoy at dedicated kids' areas. Spend a day soaking in the sun and taking pictures with the backdrop of the dreamy Palm Jumeirah. 

Take Your Kids to Ski Dubai
