Luxury Family Holidays in Dubai

Dubai is so much more than luxury hotels, shopping and high-end restaurants. It is a real crowd pleaser for families with children of all ages with its incredible beaches, waterparks and many outdoor activities in the nearby desert. 

A great way to make the most of Dubai and the UAE is to combine a few days in the centre of Dubai and a few days in a luxury desert resort.

Why is Dubai delightful for families?

Offering a wide range of activities to suit every member of the family, Dubai is an absolute pleasure to visit.

With so many flights between the UK and Dubai, you can choose the best time of day for your family. With flight times under 7 hours, we believe day flights to Dubai are the best option for young families.

Once in Dubai, choose a resort that suits your needs best – next to the beach, the shopping malls, the waterparks, it’s up to you. And if you can’t decide give us a call and we can guide you!
