And not alone, but, perhaps, with his whole family and, most importantly, with his beloved son or adored honey-daughter. Or with both kids at once - depending on how much of this wealth you have in the form of nimble, or, conversely, calm and thoughtful, small treasures. But, despite the peculiarities of temperament and unique character, every little child, getting out of the diaper, needs entertainment (thanks to which, by the way, he develops excellently), new impressions and communication with peers. Is there all this in the United Arab Emirates, and in general, what is there for children? - you ask yourself, your loved ones, all your friends, the Internet, and so on this vital question.
Since questions about where to take a child usually arise after they reach the age of 4 (or closer to him), then our story will be designed for parents who do not know what to do with their 3-4-year-old ( and older) baby on vacation in the United Arab Emirates. And you can take a child with a lot of things, believe me. There will be no problems with this.
So, let's begin…
Finally, you got to this wonderful country, which even has a very exotic name -. Behind all the difficulties of the flight, and you step on the hospitable eastern land, warmed by the gentle (sometimes even too gentle) sun. Transfer to the hotel (just in case - my mother did not forget to prepare anti-motion sickness bracelets, or maybe they also came in handy on the plane), and, not having time to enjoy the beauty, you already go to the hotel that was advised to you for a family vacation. Maybe it will be, maybe it will be an apartment on…. in any case, we think you made the right choice. In any case, no one has ever complained about a vacation in any hotel of this paradise for tourists, including those with small children. Emirates are family people, and the entire tourism business, thriving and developing in the UAE, is aimed primarily at family tourism. And here in no case will it be such that all the privileges and good attitude to the little man are limited to the territory of the hotel and ends “outside the door”. On the contrary, all the fun is just beginning ...
Of course, you found out in advance what benefits exist in the selected hotel for guests with children, whether there is a playground, a kids club, babysitting services, a children's menu in restaurants, what shops are nearby the hotel. So, in case you need to buy something urgently. On vacation with a child, you know, every little thing is important. So, you have arrived at the most suitable hotel for your finances and desired opportunities.
The caring staff will quickly bring you juice to the reception. If the juice is cool, you should not immediately give it to a child from the heat. Even in Russia in the summer, pediatricians do not recommend giving children drinks that have just been purchased in the store, especially drinking them through a straw - otherwise the neck may get sick. Although, of course, the doctor will come immediately, and you can buy any medicine in the Emirates, but why do we need these problems, right?
About food
A big, downright huge plus of rest in the United Arab Emirates is safety, and the fact that the hotel staff, and the Arab population, treat children as the best representatives of humanity (and indeed it is, arguing with a smart nation is not we will). Almost all restaurants have a children's menu, clean drinking water, and they cook so deliciously that a slender little one can somehow imperceptibly turn into a plump Winnie the Pooh, who (remember in the cartoon?), Stuck in the rabbit's hole, argued that: "Someone has too narrow doors", and in response received: "No, it is someone who eats too much!" And, going to leave the restaurant, do not be surprised if the question: "How, are you leaving already?" In fact, everything is very tasty and beautiful.
About the nanny
Many hotels have Russian-speaking staff and a nanny upon request (with children from 1 year old), with whom you can then leave the child if the mother needs a rest, for example, in the spa ... Or it will be an animator girl in the children's club, who look after your child. It should be noted that the personnel in Dubai hotels usually undergo a very strict selection, and "people from the street" do not get here - you can leave the child. It is better, of course, to introduce him to the nanny in advance, to see how they get along with each other, especially if you plan to hire a nanny for the child's nap time (well, or in the evening, as you put your miracle to bed) - so that there is no situation that he will wake up and suddenly, instead of his beloved mother, he sees an unfamiliar Asian face. Can you imagine yourself in his place? So, of course, we must warn you!
About the heat
In the UAE, the premises are air-conditioned, but the temperature is comfortable so as not to catch a cold when entering from the street, either an adult or a child. However, it will not hurt to carry a warm blouse with you. And on the street you need light clothing made of light natural materials, a panama hat or a light cap and sunscreen. Very quickly, small children (not necessarily in the Emirates, and in Russia in the summer, but at least wherever) "burn" the handles below the elbow and neck, so that the state of children's skin should be monitored very carefully.
About the sea and pools
And so you checked into a comfortable room, washed, rested from the road, maybe had a snack, and now you decide where to go. Of course, the first thing a child wants to do is look at the sea. 
If you chose a beach hotel on the first coastline, then everything is simple - you just have to leave the hotel, take thirty-three and a half steps - and you are already by the sea, admire the yachts, azure water, then take off your sandals and run barefoot on the soft clean sand - how good! And there is the famous one, the kid can read about him in a children's fairy tale.
Having admired the sea, we return to the hotel territory - heated children's pools (a child can swim for a long time and will not freeze) are covered with an awning from the sun, and vigilant lifeguards are still on duty. Here in the pool to swim and play near it, get acquainted with other children and find new friends, a child can take a long time. Despite the language barrier, children, unlike us adults, understand each other perfectly, and since family vacations in the UAE are almost in the first place, the kid can have a lot of friends with whom you can have fun with might and main. Various games and contests are often organized near children's pools (for example, who is the best to build a sand castle). In a word, it will not be boring.
Also, if you have chosen a place for your vacation, for example, a resort, then on the very first day you can ride around the hotel on an abra water boat - both you and your baby will be very interesting.
On the following days, it will turn out something like this: in the morning - the beach, in the afternoon - rest (although some children have not slept in the afternoon since the age of two), but you can watch, for example, cartoons - each room has a TV, and mom needs to rest a little ... After rest - entertainment and.
In the meantime, a wonderful evening comes, and you, returning from an amazing walk, put your happy baby in a clean, soft bed. On a comfortable bed, sleep will be sound, and at night, of course, a loving mother will read a fairy tale, or quietly talk about everything that worries and impressed the child. Tomorrow a new day awaits everyone, full of adventures and new discoveries.
