Where to stay with children

- Dubai Marina and JBR. Waterfront towers, a long beach promenade and plenty of restaurants. Great for couples and groups.
- Palm Jumeirah. Resort-style stays with private beaches, including Atlantis. Best for families and luxury stays.
- Deira and Bur Dubai. Older Dubai with souks, creek and the best value hotels. Good for budget-conscious travellers and food lovers.
When to go with kids
November to March is the best time to visit Dubai. Days are usually pleasant (roughly 22 to 30 degrees), the beaches are comfortable and outdoor attractions such as the desert and the marina are at their best. December and January are the peak weeks and the most expensive.
Tips for families
- Choose a hotel with family rooms and a kids' club if you want some downtime
- Plan one main activity a day, with rest time built in
- Ask us about child prices and flight baggage for your children's ages
- Children need their own passports, and we confirm entry rules for the whole family
