The Dubai Family Fun Starter is the perfect first Dubai trip for families with kids of any age. In just 5 action-packed days, your family will tick off the city's greatest highlights — the world's tallest building, a magical underwater aquarium, a thrilling desert safari and a splash-tastic morning at Aquaventure waterpark.
Every detail is designed with families in mind — child-safe hotels with dedicated play areas, comfortable SIC transfers with child seats available, a kid-friendly itinerary paced so nobody gets tired, and a local guide who knows exactly how to keep children engaged and excited.
Route: Dubai International Airport → Downtown Dubai → Dubai Mall → Desert Camp → Palm Jumeirah (Aquaventure) → Departure
Stand at the top of the world's tallest building and watch Dubai stretch endlessly below — the kids' faces at the top will be a memory you carry forever.
Walk through the massive tunnel of the Dubai Aquarium at Dubai Mall — sharks, rays and thousands of marine creatures gliding above and beside you. Children are absolutely mesmerised.
Family-safe dune bashing at sunset, camel rides, sand boarding and a traditional Bedouin camp BBQ dinner under the open Arabian sky — a night the whole family will never stop talking about.
Splash through 18+ rides and slides at one of the world's great waterparks on the Palm Jumeirah — from gentle lazy rivers for toddlers to the legendary Leap of Faith for the brave ones.
Comfortable, spacious family rooms in a well-located 4-star property with dedicated kids' club, swimming pool and family-friendly dining — so the whole family relaxes, not just the adults.
Comfortable shared air-conditioned transfers with child seats available on request — smooth pickups and drop-offs so the logistics never stress you out.
Arrive at Dubai International Airport where your driver meets you with a nameplate. Transfer comfortably to your 4-star family hotel. Check in, freshen up and take it easy in the afternoon — let the kids explore the hotel pool and play area. In the evening, head to the famous Dubai Fountain Show near Burj Khalifa for a magical light-and-water spectacle that children absolutely adore. Dinner at the Dubai Mall food court with dozens of family-friendly options.
Start the day with a visit to the Burj Khalifa — ascend to the 124th floor observation deck for jaw-dropping city views. Then spend the afternoon inside the Dubai Mall — the world's largest shopping and entertainment complex. Visit the Dubai Aquarium where a 10-million-litre tank holds over 33,000 aquatic animals. Walk the underwater tunnel and let the children get up-close with sand tiger sharks, giant rays and colourful reef fish. End the day at the VR Park for some family gaming fun.
A wonderful morning exploring the historic soul of Dubai. Walk through the winding lanes of Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood — fascinating for children and adults alike. Cross the glittering Dubai Creek on a traditional wooden abra boat. Visit the famous Gold Souk and Spice Souk for a sensory adventure the whole family will enjoy. In the afternoon, stop at the Dubai Frame — the 150-metre picture frame on the city skyline — for a dramatic east-west view of old and new Dubai.
The evening the kids will talk about for years. Transfer into the golden dunes of the Dubai desert for a family-safe desert safari. Dune bashing in a 4x4 (speed adjusted for family comfort), camel rides, sand-boarding and traditional henna painting. As the sun sets, settle into a beautiful Bedouin camp for a sumptuous BBQ dinner with Arabic mezze, grills, and unlimited soft drinks. Watch a folk dance performance, stargaze in the clear desert sky and return to the hotel with full hearts.
Spend the final morning at Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark on the iconic Palm Jumeirah — splash down 18+ rides including the legendary Leap of Faith near-vertical drop slide, the Poseidon's Revenge twin racing slides, and the gentle 2.3km River Ride for younger ones. Grab lunch at the park. After a fun-filled morning, transfer to Dubai International Airport for your departure flight. A joyful ending to a joyful trip.
