Rest with a child in the UAE: pros and cons. Entertainment for children in the UAE.

The UAE is an ultra-modern country with tremendous recreational opportunities. Naturally, you should not be afraid to come here on vacation with children. The main disadvantage that can be dissuaded from taking a child with you to the UAE is quite strong heat, and wherever you go, air conditioners will work everywhere, due to such a temperature contrast, some children may get sick. But no one is protected from this. But in the UAE there is a huge selection of hotels for families with children and a lot of entertainment. It will not be boring not for adults, not for children. The best time to visit this country is from October to April.

The advantages of staying in the UAE with children.

  • Excellent sandy beaches with good access to the sea.
  • Several flight options: both a regular flight and a charter flight.
  • A large selection of hotels, which are located on the first coastline and have a large infrastructure for children's recreation.
  • A host of activities ranging from water parks to Ski Dubai, skiing and more.

  • There are all inclusive hotels in the UAE.
  • In every shopping center, there is a children's room in which you can leave your child for the time of shopping, so as not to irritate yourself and the child.
  • Despite the fact that the UAE is a visa country, it is very easy to get an entry visa, just fill out a form and provide a photo.

Disadvantages of staying in the UAE with children.

  • The flight takes about 5 hours.
  • Prices for trips to this country are quite expensive, especially to hotels located on the first coastline with a well-developed infrastructure for children.

Where is the best place to relax with children in the UAE.

All the most interesting entertainment is concentrated in Dubai City. But you shouldn't stop there. There are city-type hotels here, without territories, and the pool is usually located on the roof. It is very hot in Dubai itself, and most likely you will have to take a bus to the sea. Those who want to save money on a hotel, but find themselves in the entertainment center is not a bad option, but still not for families with children.

An excellent place is the Jumeirah coast, where all the most luxurious hotels with huge territories and infrastructure are located. The prices for living in them are very biting, but the option is ideal for families with children.

The second most popular is the emirate of Sharjah; it is a good place for families with children. Hotels located on the first coastline already have more adequate prices, and you can always get to Dubai by taxi in a very short period of time.

For a more secluded holiday, the emirates are suitable: Ajman, Korfakkan and Fujairah. Choose them if you plan to spend most of your time with your child at sea and at the hotel itself.
