Overview

When November turns grey in Switzerland, the best time begins on the Persian Gulf: from November to April it is warm in the Emirates, but not scorching. For families that means swimming days, playgrounds outdoors and afternoons in air-conditioned rooms when the children need a break. The flight of about six to six and a half hours is manageable, and entry is visa-free for up to 90 days. Abu Dhabi offers several calm days with room to play, with the Louvre, the Qasr Al Watan and parks, without families having to travel much.

Dubai stands for beaches and city strolls with water parks for children. Ras al-Khaimah is the relaxed variant in the north with mountains and a long beach, ideal for families who like less hustle. Practical: credit cards are accepted almost everywhere, tipping is customary. Tap water is not recommended for drinking, mineral water is available everywhere.

In malls and public spaces, modest clothing counts as respect, which is no problem with children as long as shoulders are covered. The time difference of two to three hours is manageable.
