The Emirates is an ideal resort for families with children. Most hotels have playgrounds and children's pools. Children over 5 years old will be delighted with the water parks. And also the UAE for children is a charge of strength and great emotions for a long time.
Seashore UAE
Rest on the seashore is very beneficial for health, as the sea air contains iodine, which is so necessary for the normal functioning of the body, so even the fact that the UAE is located on the Persian Gulf makes this place a good opportunity to improve your health and your children's. A warm sunny winter will give you and your kids a nice shade of tan, and therefore vitamin D in the most severe and cold time in Russia. The very composition of sea water will have a beneficial effect on the health of your children in general, heal even the smallest wounds and abrasions. The geography of the Persian Gulf, on which 6 of the 7 Emirates are located, will allow even the smallest kids to have a good and safe rest on the coast, because due to the wide underwater plume, the waves almost do not reach the coast of the UAE.
Choice of Hotel
As mentioned above, all the Emirates except for one (Fudzher) are located on the Persian Gulf, and on the coast of these Emirates built a large number of good and comfortable in all respects hotels. Even in the most modest coastal hotels there are specially equipped playgrounds where you can play with the children, or leave them for a few hours in the care of educators who will follow and play with your children, and you can devote the freed time to something else .
Rest on the beach will certainly please children very much, the smallest ones will be able to build sand castles, and older children will surely find beach sports interesting, and swimming itself will be a pleasure, but after playing enough at the sea, they can always relax in the room or plunge into the cool pool. And of course, lifeguards monitor the safety of rest on the shore. So if you are planning most family vacation to spend on the beach, you should think about a hotel with its own beach, this is more convenient, since children can relax on the water at any time and as much as they want, regardless of the buses, and the transport itself is always tiring, especially for the smallest children, and of course, that important when it comes to holidays with children, there are always much fewer people on the private beaches of hotels than on public ones.
The second option that vacationers with children should pay attention to is cheap hotels Hotel Apartments. Mandatory requirement for hotels like Hotel Apartments, this is the presence of a kitchen, it can be a separate room or a kitchenette in the corner, but in any case it gives you the opportunity to cook for yourself, which is important when it comes to children, especially the smallest, who are still due to their age the common table is not suitable, and by cooking the kids yourself, you can always be sure of the quality of the food and keep the usual diet for the baby. Kitchens in Hotel Apartments, in addition to the usual refrigerator and kettle, are always equipped with stoves (usually electric), microwave ovens and a set of utensils necessary for cooking and eating.
Features of each Emirate
When choosing a place for a family holiday, it is worth considering the features of each of the Emirates.
The emirates of Ajiman, Ras Al Khaimah or Ajiman are less densely populated, quieter, and therefore the air in them is cleaner than, for example, in Dubai. But in Dubai, the infrastructure is better developed, which will allow freer movement around the city itself. All the most interesting and exciting entertainments are concentrated in Dubai. Also in all parts of Dubai there are beautiful, vast green parks where you can have a great rest with the whole family.
Sharjah is a neighbor of Dubai and Ajiman, and the rhythm of life in this Emirate is something between the stormy Dubai and the much calmer Ajiman. 15 minutes from the center of Dubai, Sharjah makes for a convenient, but still somewhat cheaper place to stay. However, a large number of people working in Dubai live in Sharjah, so in the mornings, the roads from Sharjah to Dubai and vice versa and at the end of the working day are filled with cars, forming traffic jams. But even without leaving the territory of Sharjah, you can have a good rest, for this there are shopping centers, and museums and special entertainment centers for children, and even your own, albeit not as big as in Dubai, but a singing fantan, which you can enjoy walking along the beautiful equipped embankment. The town of Kalba, located near Fudzhera, is also a Sharjah territory. This town has a beautiful promenade on the shores of the Gulf of Oman, where it is pleasant to walk and plunge into the water. Lifeguards are constantly on duty on the beach of the Kalba embankment, keeping order.
Abu Dhabi, despite its social status, is also calmer than Dubai, and it is also the greenest Emirate, especially if we are not talking about Abu Dhabi itself, but about the town of Al Ain located on the territory of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Al Ain is a real oasis in the middle of the desert, where trees prevail in the vegetation, not palm trees and camel thorns, making it shady and mysterious, it is very pleasant to wander around it, even in the hottest hours, the crown of trees will hide you from the scorching heat. The town itself is located away from the coast.
The peculiarity of the rest in Fudzhera is determined by its oceanic location. Fujara is located on the coast of the Gulf of Oman and is separated from most of the Emirates by mountains. The Gulf of Oman, which is essentially a direct part of indian ocean does not have an extensive underwater plume, so the water, even near the coast, is very often restless, and small marine inhabitants hide near the coast, including sea urchins, which makes the rest of the kids more dangerous. In winter, most of the UAE's precipitation falls in this Emirate, and the rains are tropical in nature, but the truth is they are rarely very protracted, which reduces the air temperature by several degrees, but in the summer months, this drawback turns into a clear advantage.
Healthy goodies
If we talk about improving the health of children, it must be said that the Emirates offer not only sea and air, but also excellent food. A wide variety of fruits and vegetables are sold in the UAE all year round, most of which are grown locally, which makes their price low. And since all these states, as well as the UAE, are countries of eternal summer, they contain vitamins in full. Yes, and in the UAE itself, tomatoes, strawberries, mangoes and a number of other products are grown, and in the colder (winter) period, everything is grown under open sky.
A separate item worth noting is fish and seafood, most of which are caught nearby, so they are sold and cooked fresh, which ensures the high quality and vitamin composition of the prepared dishes. Well, the usefulness of seafood is well known, and of course, first of all, all these vitamins and minerals are important for the growth and development of children, and the fact that sea fish contains significantly fewer bones makes it even more convenient for children to eat. Well, if we talk about drinking, then children will surely like one of the freshly squeezed juices, which in the UAE can be found even in the smallest cafe, and since no sugar is added to freshly squeezed juices, this drink is not only tasty, but also very healthy.
All conditions have been created for children's recreation in the UAE, each Emirate offers young travelers fun and educational places to play. And the universal love for children and the security of the country as a whole make the UAE an excellent destination for families.
One of the most beloved resorts among our compatriots, the UAE has several very worthy places for relax. Consider what and why they are good for families with children:
Dubai
The most incredible, stylish, modern and interesting of the emirates! The city is perfect in every way: it's clean, it's fun, it has first-class hotels and skyscrapers. Of course, such beauty is not just because it is the most expensive emirate. But what beautiful beaches And artificial islands! Dubai has a lot to offer families with children, because it is here that the coolest large hotels for families with cool entertainment are located - water parks, kids clubs and playgrounds and more. For a beach holiday with children, Jumeirah with its famous Palm, as well as Marina, is best suited. You can name a number of wonderful hotels where a vacation with offspring will be complete happiness (list of these hotels).
Entertainment in Dubai is also very cool: a whole town where children can master the profession - KidZania, aquaventure water park and a very cool Wild Wadi water park (which tourists from neighboring hotels can go to for free), a dolphinarium, children's entertainment centers in a shopping center, an indoor Ski Dubai complex where you can go skiing! 
In general, this is the most worthy option for a family holiday.
Ras Al Khaimah
The northernmost of the emirates is located an hour from Dubai. Yes, Ras Al Khaimah is quite suitable for families with children. It is incredibly beautiful here - the mountains come right to the shore of the bay, the cleanest deserted beaches ... 
This, of course, is not as noisy and modern emirate as Dubai, and so much the better. There are also much fewer hotels here, but almost all of them can offer decent conditions for families. By the way, here it is. As for entertainment, I will say right away that this is not Dubai. But nearby here you will find several old buildings that will also arouse great interest among the younger generation. Besides, shopping mall"RAK Mall" can offer an excellent children's Entertainment Center with karting, skating rink, soccer field and playground. As well as kindergartens and good water activities for the whole family. In short, Ras Al Khaimah is specifically a very calm beach holiday.
fujairah
A very beautiful emirate on the shores of the bay will also be good choice. There are much fewer skyscrapers here, so Fujairah looks somehow cozier, simpler. And no less beautiful (oh, what fountains and parks are here!). 
And, of course, the beach! The Gulf of Oman, the cleanest sand, again, mountains hugging the beaches ... There are not many hotels in Fujairah. Partly because it is the most new emirate, and he relatively recently began to invite tourists to rest. Most of the hotels in Fujairah are apartments, which is also good. Not many hotels are located on the very shore of the bay, but even if you chose a room not in beach hotel, then in any case, go to the sea no more than 10 minutes. Not many hotels can boast of hotel entertainment for children, but there is still something (the best hotels for children in Fujairah.)
There is also not too much entertainment in the emirate itself - Al Aqah Beach with coral reefs and fragments of a sunken ship, Sandy Beach with the Sandy Beach Diving Center, where you can take diving lessons with the whole family (and older children), the gardens of Ain Al Madhab at the foot of Mount Hajar with a historic village and the ruins of an old fort, and Fun City, a nice playground in the Central Department Store. 
Sharjah
The strictest emirate - there is an absolute ban on alcohol. Therefore, Sharjah is a little calmer (although tourists still drink in their rooms, but try not to “burn out”). 
Probably, because of this, trips to Sharjah are cheaper, and this is a big plus for the family budget. Meanwhile, Sharjah is a large and rather beautiful Emirate, and it takes only ten minutes to drive to Dubai with its water parks. Beach holidays in Sharjah will be excellent. But a small minus is that there are not so many "children's" hotels here. Well, or this is in comparison with the proposals of Dubai. Almost all hotels can offer family rooms, but when viewed from the point of view of the presence of children's clubs and other things, Sharjah loses a little (see suitable hotels for children). The advantage of Sharjah is that its city beaches are very deserted, there are almost no local residents and certainly there will be no drunken Russians - a good "beach" is provided to you. Entertainment is good: Heritage Village with old houses, an old bazaar, an aquarium, Al Kasbah embankment with playgrounds, cafes, and, most importantly, a Ferris wheel (Eye Of The Emirates) 60 meters high. 
In general, Sharjah has a very calm atmosphere - there are no clubs and bars, so it will be 100% possible to relax properly here.
Abu Dhabi
An immense green city with chic mosques and colorful oriental bazaars. You won't be bored here! If you want to tan, then the beaches of Abu Dhabi are very good - equipped, clean, with the opportunity to do things with the whole family water sports sports. This is a high quality beach holiday so coming to Abu Dhabi for a day trip would be a shame. A mirage city, this oriental tale in the desert will impress all your family members (at least if your kids are already capable of appreciating the beauty of architecture! 
And there are many hotels in Abu Dhabi, many of which are part of large global chains, and therefore the level of quality there, of course, is good. It can be noted that, unfortunately, many hotels are designed for business people. And, nevertheless, there are hotels in big Abu Dhabi for a relaxing family holiday with children's mini-clubs and playgrounds (for example,). 
Entertainment in Adu Dhabi is good. Al-Ain Zoo near Jebel Hafeet is the largest zoo in the entire Middle East, and admire the beauties from observation deck you simply owe this mountain! It is impossible not to go to the Al Ain Paradise Garden, an hour and a half drive from Abu Dhabi, and look at the Eiffel Tower of flowers 12 meters high. And Adu Dhabi can offer green lush parks (especially Khalifa Park and children's park Al-Mushrif) - you immediately feel how much effort has been put into creating such beauty, because we are in the desert, in fact! Well, the Hili Fun City amusement park with 30 attractions in Al Ain is also fun and interesting. 
Well, a useful video:
United United Arab Emirates, it is a safe and visa-free destination. The UAE is the most prosperous country in the Middle East.
The flight takes about 5 hours.
The season lasts all year round. The minimum air temperature is about 25 degrees, the water is about 20 degrees.
love hot weather and water like fresh milk, come to the UAE from May to September.
If you want comfortable mild weather, come in October, November, March and April.
Best time for walks and excursions it's december, january and february. Almost every month in the country opens new hotel and a new attraction.
Family hotels in the UAE provide comfortable rest for tourists with children of any age.

We visited the sea for the first time with an extended group. Under the cut, there is a lot of talk about the trip: about calling a doctor for insurance, about food, about entertainment, about flights and much more!!! pictures.
First about the bad. Brought from the Emirates otitis. Now we are finishing the treatment, I hope there will be no consequences. Three days before departure, the temperature rose at night, Marya cried, they gave Nurofen, in the morning they called a doctor. The doctor looked at the throat, nose, teeth, listened to the lungs and assured us that these were teeth (really, three are climbing at once), and that we just need to knock down high temperature. Since there was no temperature during the day, and she was cheerful, we believed, and only later I realized that he had not looked at his ears. The next night everything happened again, I waited with horror for the night before departure (the departure was at five in the morning), but Marusya overslept her without waking up and without a temperature, and in the morning we saw that “water” was flowing from her ear. I was terribly afraid of the plane, but there was nowhere to go, at the airport we changed tickets for business (because Fly Dubai Economy is full p-c), but the flight went perfectly - otitis media had already erupted (as a result of perforation of the eardrum), and there was no more pain and temperature, but we immediately went to the doctor from the plane. I don’t know where we didn’t see, when swimming, it seems, water did not get into the ears. I blame the air conditioners, which are ubiquitous in the Emirates, although they didn’t spit particularly hard.
Well, actually, about the trip.
Marusya at sea was happy. At first I was afraid to go into the water, but then it was impossible to pull it out. Shouted "mooo!" and ran "pa" (to swim, that is). I poked around in the sand for hours, buried my feet, collected shells and even helped senior foreign comrades build walls near the sand fortress))
It was only in the evenings that she was sad. After dinner, at eight o'clock, she really wanted to run and talk, but although there were many small children, none of them went out in the evening. A little older children did not want to communicate. Well, actually, German children. A few days later, Morevna became friends with Czech children, and they are the most beautiful children in the world, they entertained her, made her laugh, walked by the hand, listened to her stories about those whom she ba! (flowers that she is afraid of), did not understand anything and gave her these flowers and wove them into her hair)) In general, sheer mimimi) There was also a Russian girl two years older, with whom they also last days were friends, played catch-up and rummaged in the sand.
We were with her, for the most part, very easy. It’s much easier than at home, because Marusin’s main enemy is boredom, she always needs some kind of communication, movement, information) Well, or pebbles, sand, water, if any, nothing else is needed) She rushed about, played with children , constantly flirting with people in restaurants, with waiters.
We fed her local food, we had half board, but there was nowhere to dine, so we dined most often for the same buffet hotel. In the morning she ate oatmeal - there were no other cereals and yogurt, in the afternoon and in the evening or soup (most often soups turned out to be spicy, there were two of them and both were spicy, and always terribly salty), or chicken sausages with pasta potatoes, or puddings (sweet cereals ) from vermicelli, semolina, rice and - her favorite - sago, the most useless cereal in the world)) I was afraid that I would not eat unsweetened cereals at home, but no, I returned to home cooking for a sweet soul. For food, I took cans of Hipp "Goodnight" with semolina and rice with me, these are the only cans that she eats. I took about ten, they were very useful to eat on the way back and forth and several times for an afternoon snack (a couple were also brought back). I also took cookies, a few pieces of fruit drinks and a few bottles of water. In a local supermarket, you could buy juices, baby water, yogurts, cookies, smoothies in bags, there were different jars and dishes like pasta with vegetables from Hipp (we tried it once, but my daughter already refused to eat such baby food)). In general, we did not go hungry, although the food in the restaurant disappointed me greatly - both for adults and for children. In general, on a separate "children's" table, they always had the same thing: sausages, rice, pasta with tomato sauce and a couple of types of pastries, in the evening some sandwiches like cheese + tomato. Really in the 5-star Hilton it was impossible to make at least one soup for dinner with the expectation of children (as well as ulcers, allergy sufferers and people who do not like spicy)? And how about at least two types of cereals to choose from? For us, there was a lot of different food, but we didn’t like it at all, the fruits were unsweetened and tasteless, there were no greens, tea and coffee were disgusting, there were few pastries and nothing. In short, for the food hotel three with a stretch. We dined a couple of times in restaurants, but almost all the restaurants on the territory of the hotel opened only in the evening. We had a delicious meal once - on the plane on the way home, breakfast in business class was sooo delicious))
The hotel itself is on the level - territory, rooms, numerous pools, beaches. The complete lack of animation, which usually makes me happy, but here I wanted at least something in the evening to entertain the lonely Manya) The singer (Russian) sang twice at the weekend, and the children rejoiced and danced to Hotel California and other hits. The playground and the children's room turned out to be a complete profanation, on the playground there is one complex for big children, which you can climb on, a couple of swings and caterpillars, rocking chairs, that's all, and we poked into the children's room - there were several big children who were sitting with a sad look and draw, and nothing else. Marusya tried twice to get out through the glass door, ran into it with a running start, after which we preferred to retreat. The children's pool was always fun, but I didn't want her to bathe in bleach and other joys that come with pools, so we hardly went there.
Resting in Hilton Resort& Spa, I never got to the spa: (I put it off for the last days, and in the last days Marya got sick. So she went to a massage, they say.
From the cultural program - we went to Dubai (an hour from Ras al-Khaimah), we didn’t go anywhere, except for the Oceanarium in Dubai Mall, and, in fact, children's shops (of which there are a lot). There was also a very rich bookstore with books in English, in the children's section my eyes ran wide, Marusya became capricious, and I never bought anything. The next day we went to cultural capital, Sharjah, where they wanted to see the Museum of Islamic Civilization and the country zoo, and for some reason the driver-guide first took us to the Archaeological Museum (I really love archaeological museums, but this one is terribly boring), then to the market, where we wanted to last and where all the goods are China with Arabic flavor, then back to the market, only antique, where Vanya bought Marusa for some reason a gilded elephant and a camel))) And I wanted antique toys, in particular, a fire truck, but it was not clear how to transport them, and I didn’t buy anything again) By this moment, of course, my daughter was already tired and hungry, we were brought to some completely shabby, smelly Arabic restaurant, I turned around and demanded to take us to the hotel, so we didn’t see what we were driving for. We went to the Ras Al Khaimah Zoo, but it was completely rural, only large cats were richly represented there. In addition, there was a sandstorm that day, everyone hid, the zoo was completely empty, we alone rolled a stroller with an awesome child past enclosures with ostriches and bulls.
Marya endured the flight in both directions perfectly, despite the fact that she flew back with otitis media. In the economy Fly Dubai, the conditions are worse than in the train, because the train is not so hot and stuffy) They did not dare to turn on the air conditioners above the seats. It was very crowded, we were huddled in two places by the window, squeezed by the aunt, respectively, we didn’t have much to go out and look like (and there were a lot of people in the narrow passage all the time), in general, Marusya spent all five hours on my knees or Vanya’s, NOT SLEEPING and at the same time not being capricious! At all! We were engaged in looking out the window, flirting with the neighbors on the plane, water coloring (Melissa and Doug - a must-have thing for the road, water right in the brush!), stickers (it generally took an unexpectedly long time), food - a can, bagels, then a muffin, then Mom's sandwich... Schleich pandas and a big bear, bought specially for the trip) But they would have done without it. On the way back, for two hours out of five, she slept, the rest of the time she walked in front of our chairs (they sat in the front row, there was a lot of space), and sat in her arms, read and played, and watched (for a short time, about 15 minutes) a film about bears in wild nature on the TV screen (it is in the first row far from the eyes, about one and a half meters). For emergency entertainment, we had a laptop with cartoons, we never needed it.
We ordered private transfer with a car seat, the driver met us without him! Then local representatives of the travel agency said that there was no mark, although in Moscow we stipulated this moment. But the chair was given back. We exchanged plane tickets for business already at check-in for the return flight, it seems to be much cheaper than buying a business right away. On the planes of Fly Dubai economy and business - heaven and earth, I do not advise flying with children as an economy of this company, if possible (although our flight went well there, but I think we were lucky).
Summary - we liked the trip, because it was good to be together, relax, breathe the sea air and see how happy Marusya is. We did not particularly like the country, although we do not exclude that we will return, because there are alternatives for winter holiday at sea within a short flight is not enough. We DID NOT like the place (in an attempt to get away from the skyscrapers and tourist hustle and bustle, I again, as I once did with Egypt, chose a place that was boring and far from everything), and we didn’t like the hotel because of the food and thoughtlessness for children (although when I chose hotel according to reviews, I had the exact opposite opinion about it!) Compared to my last vacation at sea - in Sicily, even before pregnancy, this one didn’t even lie around, it was very boring (and not the child’s fault). And yes, I regretted not going to Tenerife, even if it were a little cooler there.
I will start writing my LONG review about holidays in the emirates.
So, the flight was from Samara a / k Transaero, of course, in front of the airport - check-in to Ikea (without this, it’s not easy at all). Waiting at the airport for about 6 hours (since the flight was at night.)
Samara airport: I collected reviews about it, but I am writing my opinion: In principle, decently - three floors, on the second there is only a waiting room (we were sitting there all the time before registration - ONE), on the first - the actual registration, on the zero - a cafe, toilets, and also armchairs ... but there are people! There is so necessary for everyone while waiting for a flight - Wi-Fi, it brightened up the wait
My daughter fell asleep in the stroller as soon as we arrived at the airport, woke up only 30 minutes before departure, ate and pooped like a smart girl! Oh yes - now there is a dutik - which even more brightens up the waiting for the flight.
Transaero: I was outraged by the fact that we barely registered all together for a row, transaero has the possibility of pre-booking a seat on the plane, BUT when I tried to do this, they clearly explained to me that with children under 2 years old without a seat, the reservation does not work! And in the end, all the "trump" seats were occupied on the plane, and we had to sit in the tail. Well, figs with him - my daughter slept the whole flight, I did not move! By the way, the food was delicious!
UAE: the flight was fast 4 hours 10 minutes (instead of the promised 4 hours 55 minutes). Arrival at terminal 1 (OH what a huge kapets) - passport control - we were taken out of the queue with a stroller!
There was no point in waiting for a public transfer - we left by taxi, since Sharjah is only 15 = 20 minutes away.
HOTEL: we choose Sharjah not for the first time - even if the hotels there are not new, as in Dubai, BUT they are beach hotels, everything is close (both alcohol stores and Dubai). Carlton Sharjah 4, we only got a reservation, unfortunately, a chalet with a view of the city, I was very worried about this, scoured the internet, but no one gave a clear answer on the best settlement in our case.
As a result: we settled perfectly - a room overlooking the grass, a bungalow - the first floor, no stairs, elevators, a minute and you are already at the sea, a minute and you are in the dining room, two minutes and you are in the pool!
Friends had a room with a sea view, before they arrived we booked room 905 for them, the best (well, 906) in my opinion ... everything is close, you can really see the sea (not like in the other "sea views"), and the people don't go too far!
This is a room view from the sea...
We spent all evenings on their terrace of course!
In general, who needs detailed information - I will give advice!
The hotel itself is modest, the rooms are ordinary: but for us it was not so important ... in the room we only slept at night ...
Routine: rise at 7 in the morning (of our dad) - he ran to the sea and towels on sun loungers in the shade for us, then everyone gets up, morning procedures, and eat for breakfast, at 8.30 we were already at the sea, as a rule, my daughter fiddled in the sand, then swam, and then slept until about 12.
After 12 noon c - everyone washed, changed clothes, and hung out in different directions. Sometimes we ate at the Kazan restaurant - there is ordinary food, dumplings, borscht, okroshka and so on ...
This time we visited:
1. Atlantis Water Park
- costs 240 dirhams (about 2000 rubles) per person. I didn’t really like the water park, since everything is scattered around the territory and by the time you get from one slide to another, it will already be closed. And sooooo many Indians, they are everywhere. In short, we got tired of relaxing in this hotel, we didn’t really like the beach, it didn’t look like a sea at all.
2. Aquapark Wild wadi
- our favorite, there are super slides on buns. The son was delighted.
3. We finally visited the IBN trampoline ...
-
it's a mall with halls different countries. Well... one time you can go
4. Of course Dubai mall - The country of KidZania and the world-famous fountains did not climb the Burj Khalifa this time.
kidzania- the country of professions for children from 2 years and older. The elder and I didn’t go, he hung out there on his own ... he remained wildly delighted.
This year from fountains not happy even … in the past were mega satisfied.
5. Of course we went for a ride dubai metro
6. Were in SAFA Park, I read that there is a children's transport village, real city for children with traffic lights and traffic cops, but apparently the reviews failed - they didn’t see such a thing there ... but beautiful view there
7. Finally visited Sharjah park. ... rode a Ferris wheel - nothing special ... I didn't like the cabins with conders.
8. Again, we managed this year in Sharjah Aquarium , super, costs a penny. The children are delighted, the daughter, looking at the fish, fell asleep ...
FISH a lot - all beautiful, there is a pool with sharks.
9. of course shopping center ... without them it’s not easy
Were in the Outlet Mall, Deira City Center, Sharjah City Center, Sahara Mall - the prices are crazy this season, everything is expensive, even in chain stores there the prices are pipets, while everything is much cheaper online.
Well, of course, they didn’t leave without purchases, a suitcase of 30 kg of new things, and by the way, the suitcase itself too (they hatched the idea to buy from last year already, in the end they took Samsonite)!
10. Visited Nasser Square.... nothing special - a lot of fur shops, and heaps of Indians and strange people ...
There are fish restaurants near the hotel - they often ate there, since the food in the city (parks, water parks, shopping centers) is mostly fast food ... they flew to fish restaurants naked. We didn’t have time to visit restaurants in Dubai again ... then the children want to sleep and we rush to Sharjah ... then we don’t have the strength ourselves ... so the famous Golden Fork was left for later ...
Well, the prices this year are also upset ...
11. There was an attempt to go to dubailand, as it turned out later, it had not yet been properly completed ... this is a huge territory of different parks. The Global Village, the flower park was opened - these two places remained closed for us ... and they didn’t make a second attempt to go there ... they also left it for the next year.
flower park - the most beautiful in the world ... it's a pity that they didn't hit
Daughter endured the trip just fine
... everything was great with us!
Half of the world “touched” her - the locals are just crazy about children. She smiled at everyone!
In the afternoon after the sea, I slept two more times in a stroller (regardless of our location). In the evening - her dad rolled in a stroller, and she slept until the morning.
At home, we sleep only once a day, and wake up periodically at night.
Anywhere in the emirates = everything is created for children, in any toilet there is a baby room, there is a diaper, napkins, a diaper machine.
The only thing that upset me was the choice of mashed potatoes for children ... and the prices!
It's cold in the shopping center - they put on a woolen donut and felt perfect!
Of the places not visited - I will add - more Shardin Zoo, Well, it’s a super place, it’s not in the open air, and you walk along cool corridors and don’t sweat in the heat! We will definitely visit it!!!
Friends were - children are delighted!
We flew back at 10.35 - had time to have breakfast, and went by taxi, without any transfers.
BUT - they were in such a hurry ... that for some unknown reason they forgot their son's helicopter on the control panel and a package with warm clothes for Russia ....
We came to our senses at the airport, called the hotel, explained everything.
Upon arrival, I wrote a letter to them, the answer came - that our things are safe and sound and are waiting for us next year, or if one of my friends goes to the UAE before that, then they will definitely give them to them.
Here are such honest people there, I really doubt that they did this in some other country, although maybe I'm wrong.
Back - at the airport, we were as usual - without queues everywhere, they gave seats in the first cabin, where the distance between the seats is huge, and you can comfortably stretch your legs! The flight also went perfectly, my daughter ate, stared out the window, and fell asleep before arrival ... then the whole plane was touched when it left - that she opened her eyes and smiled right away!
In Russia, of course, there is no question of any without a queue - it’s not even out of the question, so we stood with everyone! But they got out pretty quickly. And back home ... the children slept all the way!
Well, that's about all ... that I would like to leave in my memory of this trip. If anyone is interested, I will answer any questions.
Speaking of the weather, we were in September, the temperature was +45 outside, the water was +33 ... of course it was hard to breathe after 11 am ... and the streets immediately became wet, BUT the sea was so high ... and warm - like butter ... it was impossible to get out wanted!
In November, the air temperature was +30, water +29 - that is, the water seemed cool and refreshing ... we came to the conclusion that after all hot water we like more. And we will go next time - still in September!
