Children's holidays in the UAE. Vacation with children. What can I buy in the UAE for a child?

Hello, friends!

In connection with the easing of the visa regime (the introduction of a free visa for Russians for 30 days, which can be obtained upon arrival at the airport), interest Russian tourists to the Emirates has increased significantly.

This is understandable - organizing a trip becomes easier, and costs are reduced, which is especially noticeable when traveling to United Arab Emirates the whole family.

According to forecasts, this tourist destination to a certain extent, it can replace the missing Egypt, which is popular among Russians.

Why are the United Arab Emirates attractive for families with children?

Family holidays in this country are one of the priority areas in the tourism sector.

And besides:

  • vacationers will find soft snow-white sand on the beaches, convenient entry into the waters of the clearest blue sea;
  • the country has a lot of children's entertainment, and it's not just water parks;
  • in the UAE there is a special attitude towards children;
  • for family vacations and holidays with children, UAE resorts provide unforgettable opportunities and comfortable conditions with accommodation in beach and city hotels from economy class to luxury segment with a variety of entertainment: from the usual children's mini-clubs and children's pools to entire underwater cinemas, game rooms, petting zoos . You can spend active and fun time with your children in city parks, of which there are many;
  • The United Arab Emirates is a man-made fairy tale among endless sands and dunes, a country that never ceases to amaze even the most sophisticated tourists not only with the gifts of nature, but also with luxury and beauty created by human hands with a specific Emirati scale;
  • There are no low seasons in this country: luxury hotels for a comfortable stay, attractions and excursions are equally good whenever you arrive.

By the way, the United Arab Emirates includes 7 regions. Each of the 7 emirates: Ras al-Khaimah, Ajman, Umm al-Quwain, Fujairah is also a tourist resort to one degree or another. Abu Dhabi is the capital of the federation.

Little tourists will have a great time with their parents on clean, comfortable, well-equipped beaches with children's pools, playgrounds and modern clubs, especially in areas such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Jumeirah, Ajman, Sharjah. But other emirates also have their own peculiarities and charm. Each one is remarkable in some way.

At most resorts, tourists with children can stay in spacious joint or family rooms designed for accommodation in the following format: “2 adults + 2 children” or “2 adults + 1 child”.

Many hotels offer for family vacation preferential conditions and carry out special promotions: full board instead of half board, free half board or free accommodation for one or even two children.

The disadvantages include the lack of Russian-speaking nannies.

Insurance policy

It is issued for the entire duration of the trip. And this is simply a necessity. And not only because they won’t issue a visa without it. The United Arab Emirates is an expensive country. This fully applies to treatment and the provision of any medical care.

It is better to take out a policy with additional options (for example, including assistance in case of accidents, in case of exacerbation of chronic diseases), so that if something happens you do not have to pay exorbitantly large bills out of your pocket, because any help (even calling an ambulance) for tourists will be either by insurance or paid.

Climate

The UAE is warm and comfortable all year round. Winter (December-February) is sunny and warm. The water in the Persian Gulf warms up to +17°C, the air - from +20°C to +30°C.

Summer (May-September) is hot and humid. Air temperature: up to +45°C.

The best time to travel is October-May.

Is it worth going to the UAE with children in the summer?

The question of whether it is possible to relax comfortably when the heat is unbearable and the thermometer uncontrollably tends to +40°C worries many. Experts who have studied this tourist destination well say: you can relax in the United Arab Emirates all year round. Naturally, it is better to refrain from traveling for families with very young children, those who are prone to any diseases (vascular, heart) and those who, in principle, do not tolerate heat well.

Those who still decide to travel to the UAE in the summer months should know that the proximity of the sea slightly mitigates the heat. Tourists at this time are recommended to visit the beach in the morning and evening closer to sunset. During the day, it’s better to spend time on excursions, visit the entertainment center, or simply relax under an umbrella and cool off in the outdoor pool (the water in them is cooled to a very comfortable + 24-26°C).

Well, somewhere, but in the Emirates there is something to do with children besides beach holiday when the sun is unbearably hot outside. From shopping malls to indoor clubs with plenty of entertainment, children will always find something to do. Here they can even be left alone for a while under supervision.

Where is the best place to go with your child in the UAE in the summer months to reduce your exposure to the heat and make it as comfortable as possible? These are, first of all, hotels in the Fujairah resort with its mild climate.

By the way: in the Emirates, air conditioning is everywhere - in any hotel (and this does not depend on the number of stars or category), in shopping centers, in the subway, in taxis, on buses and even at bus stops.

For comfortable accommodation with children in the Emirates in the summer, you can stay in hotels that are connected to entertainment and shopping centers by an elevator or passage. Also, city hotels in all emirates deliver their guests free of charge on scheduled air-conditioned transport to shopping centers located nearby. There is another one in Dubai comfortable view transport - metro.

Wherever you go with your children, no matter what resort in the United Arab Emirates you choose, in any case, you will have something to remember. And this is not only swimming in the sea and building sand castles on the beach, which in itself is happiness for a child. Little tourists will be much more impressed and delighted by, for example, an exciting journey through the desert or skiing and sledding in the middle of summer, the opportunity to see a huge “dancing” fountain, the most high building, watch desert inhabitants and sea creatures, take a stunning flight in a wind tunnel, and eat delicious ice cream.

In the Emirates, thanks to the sunny weather all year round, you can actively spend time outdoors, do water sports, play tennis or golf, go to the desert on a traditional safari.

We will talk more about the resorts of the United Arab Emirates, hotels, attractions and entertainment for children in the following articles. For now, for now...

The Emirates is an ideal resort for families with children. Most hotels have playgrounds and children's pools. Children over 5 years old will love the water parks. And also the UAE for children is a charge of strength and excellent emotions for a long time.

UAE seashore

Relaxing on the seashore is very good for health, since the sea air contains iodine, which is so necessary for the normal functioning of the body, so even the location of the UAE on the shores of the Persian Gulf makes this place a good opportunity to improve the health of yourself and your children. A warm, sunny winter will give you and your kids a pleasant tan, and therefore vitamin D, in the harshest and coldest time in Russia. The very composition of sea water will have a beneficial effect on the overall health of your children and will heal even the smallest wounds and abrasions. Geography Persian Gulf, on which 6 of the 7 Emirates are located, will allow even the smallest children to have a good and safe rest on the shore, since due to the wide underwater plume, the waves almost do not reach the coast of the UAE.

Selecting a Hotel

As mentioned above, all the Emirates except one (Fujera) are located on the shores of the Persian Gulf, and a large number of good and comfortable hotels in all respects have been built on the coast of these Emirates. Even the most modest of coastal hotels have specially equipped children's playgrounds where you can play with your children, or hand them over for a few hours to the care of teachers who will watch and play with your children, and you can devote the freed up time to something else .

Relaxing on the beach will certainly please children very much; the little ones will be able to build sand castles, and older children will certainly find beach sports interesting, and swimming itself will be a pleasure, and after playing enough at the sea, they can always relax in their room or take a dip in the cool pool. And of course, lifeguards monitor the safety of your holiday on the shore. Therefore, if you are planning to spend most of your family vacation on the beach, you should think about a hotel with its own beach, it is also more convenient since children will be able to relax on the water at any time and as much as they want, regardless of buses, and the transport itself is always tiring, especially the most small children, and of course, which is important when it comes to holidays with children, there are always significantly fewer people on the private beaches of hotels than on public ones.


The second option that vacationers with children should consider is inexpensive hotels Hotel Apartments. Mandatory requirement for hotels like Hotel Apartments, this is the presence of a kitchen, it can be a separate room or a kitchen corner in the corner, but in any case this gives you the opportunity to cook yourself, which is important when it comes to children, especially the smallest ones, who due to their age A shared table is not suitable, and by cooking for the kids yourself, you can always be sure of the quality of the food and maintain the usual diet for the baby. Kitchens in Hotel Apartments, in addition to the usual refrigerator and kettle, are always equipped with stoves (usually electric), microwave ovens and a set of utensils necessary for cooking and eating.

Features of each Emirate

When choosing a place for a family vacation, it is worth considering the characteristics of each of the Emirates.

The emirates of Ajiman, Ras Al Khaimah or Ajiman are less densely populated, quieter, and therefore the air in them is cleaner than, for example, in Dubai. But in Dubai, the infrastructure is better developed, which will allow freer movement around the city itself. All the most interesting and exciting entertainment is concentrated in Dubai. There are also beautiful, expansive green parks in all parts of Dubai where you can have a great time for the whole family.


Sharjah is a neighbor of Dubai and Agyeman, and the pace of life in this Emirate is somewhere between the bustling Dubai and the much calmer Agyeman. The 15-minute location from the center of Dubai makes Sharjah a convenient, but still somewhat cheaper place to stay. However, a large number of people working in Dubai live in Sharjah, so in the mornings the roads from Sharjah to Dubai and to reverse direction and at the end of the working day they are filled with cars, forming traffic jams. But even without leaving the territory of Sharjah you can have a good rest, for this there are shopping centers, museums and special entertainment centers for children, and even your own, albeit not as big as in Dubai, but a singing fountain, which you can enjoy while walking in the evening along the beautifully equipped embankment. The town of Kalba, located next to Fujera, is also Sharjah territory. This town has a beautiful embankment on the shores of the Gulf of Oman, where it is pleasant to walk and take a dip in the water. Lifeguards are constantly on duty on the beach of the Kalba embankment, keeping order.


Abu Dhabi, despite its solo status, is also calmer than Dubai, and it is also the greenest Emirate, especially if we are not talking about Abu Dhabi itself, but about the town of Al Ain located on the territory of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Al Ain is a real oasis in the desert, where the vegetation is dominated by trees, not palms and camel thorns, making it shady and mysterious, it is very pleasant to wander around, even in the hottest hours, the crown of the trees will hide you from the scorching heat. The town itself is located away from the coast.

The peculiarity of holidays in Fujera is determined by its oceanic location. Fujera is located on the Gulf of Oman and is separated from most of the Emirates by mountains. The Gulf of Oman, which is essentially a direct part Indian Ocean does not have an extensive underwater plume, so the water even near the shore is very often turbulent, and small marine life hides near the shore, including sea ​​urchins, which makes it more dangerous for children to rest. During winter, this Emirate experiences most of of all precipitation in the UAE, and the rains are of a tropical nature, but the truth is that they are rarely very prolonged, which reduces the air temperature by several degrees, but in the summer months, this disadvantage turns into a clear advantage.

Healthy goodies

If we talk about improving the health of children, it must be said that the Emirates offer not only sea and air, but also excellent food. A wide variety of fruits and vegetables are sold in the UAE all year round, most of which are grown nearby, making them inexpensive. And since all these states, as well as the UAE, are countries of eternal summer, they contain vitamins in full. And in the UAE itself, tomatoes, strawberries, mangoes and a number of other products are grown, and in the colder (winter) period they grow everything in the open air.


A separate point worth noting is fish and seafood, most of which are caught nearby and are therefore sold and prepared fresh, which ensures high quality and vitamin composition of prepared dishes. Well, the health benefits of seafood are well known, and of course, first of all, all these vitamins and minerals are important for the growth and development of children, and what’s more sea ​​fish Contains significantly fewer bones, making it even more convenient for children to eat. Well, if we talk about drinking, children will certainly enjoy one of the freshly squeezed juices, which in the UAE can be found even in the smallest cafe, and since no sugar is added to freshly squeezed juices, this drink is not only tasty, but also very healthy.


All conditions have been created for children's holidays in the UAE; each Emirate offers little travelers fun and educational places to play. And the universal love for children and the safety of the country as a whole make the UAE an excellent destination for family holidays.

A mixture of the colors of Arabian fairy tales and ultra-modern infrastructure - this is how you can characterize your holiday in the United Arab Emirates! Sheikhs, camels, oases in the deserts, the indescribable atmosphere of oriental bazaars - all this, without a doubt, will capture the imagination of a child. And parents will be pleased with the quality of service in hotels, the cleanliness of beaches and sea water, the amount of entertainment for tourists of all ages, the level of safety on the streets and the emphatically friendly attitude towards their children. So, what are the features of a holiday in the UAE with children?

    The climate in the UAE is hot and arid, which means that winter in the usual European sense does not exist here. Even the rainy season, typical for tropical resorts, bypasses the Emirates - this is the kingdom of continuous summer. When going on vacation with children to the UAE, parents, as a rule, choose the last months of autumn or the beginning of spring (March, April) for their vacation. At this time, the air temperature is on average 28-30°C, and the sea water is about 25°C. But already in May the thermometer confidently crosses the 30°C mark, and in July-August 40°C and above are observed here, even in the shade. The winter months are also a good time to come for a holiday with children: during the day there are a pleasant 23-25°C, but the sea is cool - 17-20°C. But for interesting excursions winter is the best time!

    Those who decide to go on holiday to the UAE with children are faced with the question - where exactly to go? It all depends on your priorities: if you want to get to a place where the maximum amount of entertainment is concentrated, where first-class hotels are located, and the hustle and bustle is not a hindrance, the best place would be Dubai. More calm and budget options Sharjah and Ras al-Khaimah will offer holidays. And tourists with small children often choose Fujairah, since it is a little cooler here than in other resorts.

    What features do hotels for children in the UAE have? The concentration of the most “starry” and chic is observed in Dubai. But here, as at other resorts, you can easily find quite budget options. If you want to find vacation spots with the most developed children's infrastructure, you should pay attention to hotels that have kid-friendly status: here, as a rule, there are well-equipped playrooms, swimming pools for children, etc. But, in fact, any hotel in the UAE tries provide everything necessary for small guests, including cribs, high chairs, etc. At the same time, such an animation service in hotels in the UAE is not a common phenomenon, just as all-inclusive holidays are rarely offered here.

    Guests of the UAE do not have to rack their brains about how to entertain a child: almost every emirate has water and amusement parks, zoos and wonderful gardens for walking. Having mastered all the local recreational resources, you can go from any emirate to the entertainment centers of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Well, walking along the sands on calm camels is a mandatory part of the program for tourists of any age!

    The direct flight time from Moscow to Dubai is 4-5.5 hours. There are direct flights to Dubai from Moscow, St. Petersburg and some other Russian cities.

    Many painkillers, sedatives, and anti-diarrhea medications are prohibited for import into the UAE - the list must be checked with the tour operator

    The UAE is a Muslim state; you can wear swimsuits here only on the beaches and near the pools

When to go on holiday with children to the UAE?

We do not recommend going on holiday to the UAE with children in the summer, since from May to September the thermometer is frightening at +40...+50°C in the shade. There is a risk of sunstroke or heatstroke. However, if you are willing to keep a close eye on your baby, then a trip to the sultry Arabian summer will be quite inexpensive. Prices for air tickets, tours and hotels drop significantly at this time.

Most favorable months holidays in the UAE with children - October And november. The sun is not so merciless, the sea is fresh milk, the only negative is that prices for holidays during this period are the highest.

Prices start to drop in December, but don't forget that the water also gets colder and kids love to splash around until they're blue in the face. However, in winter beach season does not close. In the UAE you can relax, sunbathe and swim in any month.

There is an expression “unreasonable guardianship is worse than homelessness.” It should be remembered that it is not the evil Arabian sun that can harm the baby’s health, but rather a careless parent who does not put a Panama hat on the baby or leaves his child unattended. We also recommend that you assemble it correctly before the trip.
