Why this trip

Between skyscrapers and desert, Dubai has astonishingly much for children: lifts that fly upwards in seconds, beaches with security staff and air-conditioned rooms against the midday heat. The best time to travel is between November and April, when it is pleasantly warm outside. The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world, and a visit to the observation deck stays in children's memory for a long time. In the Burj Park next to it, families find lawns and water features for running around.

The Dubai Frame is a giant golden picture frame that shows old town and new town at the same time, a vivid image for children who are interested in history and the future. Topgolf Dubai is an option for older children who want to hit balls. The Palm Jumeirah is home to large resorts, among them the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah and One&Only The Palm, with their own beach and children's areas. The flight time is around 6 to 6.5 hours, so still bearable for children.

Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah suit individual excursions. You agree travel time and accommodation in the video call with Swiss Vibes.
