Why this trip
With children, the Emirates are at their loveliest when the sun no longer stings: from November to April you can play outdoors in Abu Dhabi, and in the afternoon there is time for a nap in a cool family room. The city spreads across several islands, but the main sights are close together. The Louvre Abu Dhabi has a dome under which light falls like rain, and rooms where children discover art through play. The Qasr Al Watan is worthwhile for school-age children who want to see a real palace, and Umm Al Emarat Park offers lawns and playgrounds where parents can relax.
If your children love animals, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi on Yas Island is a destination for a whole day. A good base is a hotel on the water, such as the Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi, where the walks to food and the beach stay short. Dubai, Sharjah and Ras al-Khaimah are nearby for day trips, but with children one fixed base is often enough. The flight takes roughly six to six and a half hours, and entry is visa-free for up to 90 days.
