Families in the UAE are gearing up for the upcoming spring break, and with that, holiday planning has also begun.
Spring break in most private schools (barring a few curricula) will begin from March 27 with schools reopening on April 10.
While taking a vacation during this time can help families unwind it’s not always possible for working parents to take leave for a long duration, especially, as two weeks of Spring break coincides with Ramadan this year.
So, if you’re looking for places to unwind with your children that would not create a hole in your pocket and would not require long travel, check out the top six family-friendly locations within the UAE that you could enjoy during the spring break.
The world’s tallest tower is certainly the kind of place one should visit during the spring break, if you haven’t already.
This iconic tower is the most searched-for landmark and offers a viewing deck to witness the beauty of the city as a whole.
Children and adults can go under the see at the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, which is located at the Dubai Mall.
The place boasts of over 33,000 aquatic animals that include sand tiger sharks. Kids often find it eerie and exciting to be walking through the tunnel inside the aquarium.
The kite beach offers a lot of fun with a skate park, outdoor trampolines and a play area for the little ones.
Families can swim, collect shells and enjoy breakfast or lunch at some of the famous restaurants there or just pack a hearty breakfast basket.
Parents can sit back and enjoy the kitesurf show and views of Burj Al Arab, while the children play in the sand.
It can be dubbed as one of the most children-friendly shopping districts. Green Planet that’s located at City Walk offers an amazing chance for children to be immersed in nature and wildlife at Dubai’s only indoor rainforest. Children get a fantastic opportunity to engage and enhance their eco skills.
Kids will experience animal encounters and venture into sustainable explorations, scavenger and treasure hunts within the tropical environment.
A must see on your children’s list during the upcoming two-week break is the Dubai Safari Park which has about 3,000 animals. The park is home to tigers, gibbons and moon bears, lions, elephants, giraffes, camels, Arabian onyx, Arabian wolves and mountain gazelles and much more.
