Having a family trip is always exciting. Visiting the dazzling city of Dubai with family is wonderful, as the kids and adults will love world-renowned attractions and the innumerable experiences of this golden city in the desert that combines modern marvels with rich history.

Introduction
Despite the glamour and grandiosity of Dubai that attracts many visitors throughout the year, such as the world’s tallest tower, Burj Khalifa and the world’s largest man-made Marina, Dubai Marina, and many other modern creations, this highly developed Emirate of the United Arab Emirates has many different unique experiences for families with children.
Demonstrating the nation’s pride in the city’s history as a modest coastal town, traditional wooden boats called abras still float on Dubai Creek alongside the swiftly whizzing motorboats. Traditional sports are regularly indulged in with even visitors taking part while the Heritage District along the Dubai Creek showcases local art and culture for the benefit of the locals and visitors using hotels in UAE. This is done with a mix of Middle Eastern Architecture on the buildings, with exterior finish carrying ancient Arab designs etc. in the Dubai Cultural Village. Hence, planning your explorations encompassing both traditional and modern will be enriching for the entire family.
Plan your travel well
Dubai is full of attractions and experiences that cater to families with children. From indoor experiences to outdoor ones including the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo. Therefore, it is best to plan the attractions your family would like to experience during the visit.
By having a plan you can select the most suitable period to travel to Dubai. Generally, the best time for visitors to go to Dubai is from November to March when the temperatures are milder and outdoor attractions are more enjoyable for the whole family.
These months are also the peak tourist season in Dubai; with hotels in UAE filling up fast and even becoming more expensive. Hence parents must carefully plan out dates considering the budget and interests of the family.
