Dubai is one of the easiest places in the world for a family holiday. It’s safe, sunny, and full of things for children to do. With a little planning, you can build a trip where both kids and adults go home happy.
Pick the Right Time to Go
The best time for a family trip to Dubai is between October and April. The weather is warm but not too hot, so you can spend time outdoors without worrying. Try to avoid the busiest school holiday weeks if you’d like quieter beaches and shorter queues.
Choose a Place to Stay With Lots to Do

With children, it helps to stay somewhere that has plenty going on. A 5 star resort in Dubai with a beach, pools, and kids’ activities means you don’t always need to head out for fun. JA Palm Tree Court is part of JA The Resort in Jebel Ali, with suites set in green gardens and a beach just a short stroll away.
Plan a Few Big Days Out
Dubai has some great family attractions. Water parks, the Dubai Aquarium, and the views from the Burj Khalifa are all popular with children. Pick two or three big days out, and keep the rest of the trip more relaxed so no one gets too tired.
Leave Time for Simple Fun
Some of the best family moments are the simple ones. Building sandcastles, splashing in the pool, or enjoying ice cream by the sea can mean just as much to children as a big attraction. Keep your days flexible, and give everyone time to rest. That way, the whole family will come home relaxed and already talking about the next trip.
