The Emirates is an ideal resort for families with children. Most hotels have playgrounds and children's pools. Children over 5 years old will love the water parks. And also the UAE for children is a charge of strength and great emotions for a long time.
UAE seaside
Rest on the seashore is very beneficial for health, since the sea air contains iodine, which is so necessary for the normal functioning of the body, therefore, even the very location of the UAE on the shore of the Persian Gulf makes this place a good opportunity to improve the health of its own and children. A warm, sunny winter will give you and your little ones a pleasant tan, and therefore vitamin D, in the harshest and coldest 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 out of 7 Emirates are located, will allow even the smallest kids to have a good and safe rest on the shore, since, due to the wide underwater plume, the waves hardly reach the UAE coast.
Hotel selection
As mentioned above, all the Emirates except one (Fujer) are located on the shores of the Persian Gulf, and on the coast of these Emirates a large number of good and comfortable hotels in all respects. Even in the most modest of the coastal hotels there are specially equipped playgrounds where you can play with the children, or hand them over for a few hours to the care of educators who will follow and play with your children, and you can devote the freed up time to something else. ...
Rest on the beach will certainly delight children, the smallest 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 their room or plunge into the cool pool. And of course, rescuers are watching over the safety of rest on the shore. Therefore, if you plan most of family vacation on the beach, you should think about a hotel with its own beach, this is also more convenient since children can relax on the water at any time and as much as they want, regardless of buses, and the transport itself always tires, especially the smallest children, and of course, that important when it comes to resting 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 is inexpensive 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 kitchen corner in the corner, but in any case it gives you the opportunity to cook by yourself, which is important when it comes to children, especially the smallest, who are still due to their age the common table does not fit, and when cooking for the kids yourself, you can always be sure of the quality of 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 dishes necessary for cooking and eating.
Features of each Emirate
When choosing a place for a family vacation, it is worth considering the peculiarities of each of the Emirates.
The emirates of Ajiman, Ras Al Khaimah or Ajiman are less densely populated, quieter, which means that 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 entertainment is concentrated in Dubai. Also in all parts of Dubai there are beautiful, extensive green parks where you can enjoy the whole family.
Sharjah is a neighbor of Dubai and Ajiman, and the rhythm of life in this Emirate is somewhere between the turbulent Dubai and the much quieter Ajiman. A 15-minute location from the center of Dubai makes Sharjah a convenient but somewhat cheaper place to stay. However, a large number of people working in Dubai live in Sharjah, so in the morning the roads from Sharjah to Dubai and in the opposite direction and at the end of the working day fill up with cars and form traffic jams. But even without leaving the territory of Sharjah, you can have a good rest, for this there are shopping centers, 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 while walking in the evening on a wonderful equipped embankment. The town of Kalba, located next to Fujara, 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. On the beach of the Kalba embankment, lifeguards are constantly on duty, keeping order.
Abu Dhabi, despite its personal status, is also quieter than Dubai, and it is also the greenest Emirate, especially if we talk not about Abu Dhabi itself, but about the town of Al Ain located in the territory of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Al Ain is a real oasis in the middle of the desert, where the vegetation is dominated by trees, not palm trees and camel thorns, making it shady and mysterious, it is very pleasant to wander along it, even in the hottest hours, the crown of trees will hide you from the scorching heat. The town itself is located far from the coast.
The peculiarity of rest in Fujara is due to its oceanic location. Fujera is located on the shores of the Gulf of Oman and is separated from most of the Emirates by mountains. The Gulf of Oman, which is in fact a direct part of Indian Ocean does not have an extensive underwater plume, therefore, the water even near the coast is very often restless, and small marine life are hiding near the coast, including sea urchins, which makes the rest of the little ones more dangerous. In winter, most of all precipitation in the UAE falls in this Emirate, and the rains are tropical in nature, but they are rarely very prolonged, 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. All year round, a wide variety of fruits and vegetables are sold in the UAE, most of which are grown nearby, which makes their price low. And since all these states, as well as the UAE, are countries of eternal summer, vitamins are contained in them in full. And in the UAE itself, tomatoes, strawberries, mangoes and a number of other products are grown, and in the colder (winter) period they grow everything under open air.
A separate item is worth noting fish and seafood, most of which are caught nearby, therefore they are sold and prepared 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 sugar is not added to freshly squeezed juices, this drink is not only tasty, but also very healthy.
All conditions have been created for the recreation of children in the UAE, each Emirate offers fun and educational places for children to play. And the universal love for children and the security of the country as a whole make the UAE an excellent destination for family vacations.
One of the most beloved resorts among our compatriots, the UAE has several very worthy places for relax. Consider what and how they are good for families with children:
Dubai
The most incredible, stylish, modern and fun of the emirates! The city is perfect in every way: it's clean, it's fun, it's got first-class hotels and skyscrapers. Of course, such beauty is not for nothing - it is the most expensive emirate. But what beautiful beaches and artificial islands! Dubai has a lot to offer to 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 tree, as well as Marina, is best suited. There are a number of wonderful hotels where a vacation with your children 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 (to which tourists from neighboring hotels can go for free), a dolphinarium, children's entertainment centers in a shopping center, an indoor complex Ski Dubai, where you can go skiing! 
In general, this is the most worthy option for a family vacation.
Ras al-Khaimah
The northernmost of the emirates is located an hour's drive from Dubai. Yes, Ras al-Khaimah is quite suitable for families with children. It is incredibly beautiful here - the mountains rise right to the coast of the bay, the purest 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 must say right away that this is not Dubai. But nearby here you will find several old buildings, which will also arouse great interest among the younger generation. Moreover, shopping center RAK Mall can offer excellent children's Entertainment Center with go-karting, ice 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 vacation.
Fujairah
A very beautiful emirate on the coast of the bay will also be good choice... The skyscraper is much smaller here, so Fujairah looks somehow more comfortable and simpler. And no less beautiful (oh what fountains and parks there are!). 
And, of course, the beach! The Gulf of Oman, the purest sand, again, mountains hugging the beaches ... There are not many hotels in Fujairah. Partly because it is the most new emirate, and he recently began to invite tourists to rest. Most of the hotels in Fujairah are apartments, which is also good. There are not so many hotels 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 for no more than 10 minutes. Not many hotels boast hotel activities for kids, but there are some (the best hotels for kids in Fujairah.)
There are not too many entertainments in the emirate itself - Al Aqah Beach with coral reefs and wrecks of a shipwreck, Sandy Beach with a diving center "Sandy Beach Diving Center", where you can take diving lessons with the whole family (and older children), Ain Al Madhab Gardens at the foot of Mount Hajar with a historic village and the ruins of an old fort, and Fun City, a nice playground at Central Department Store. 
Sharjah
The strictest emirate - there is an absolute ban on alcohol. Therefore, Sharjah is a little quieter (although tourists still drink in their rooms, they try not to "get burnt"). 
Probably because of this, vouchers 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's only ten minutes to go to Dubai with its water parks. Beach vacation in Sharjah will be excellent. But a small minus is that there are not so many "children's" hotels here. Well, or it is in comparison with the proposals of Dubai. Family rooms can be offered by almost all hotels, but if we consider in terms of the availability of children's clubs and other things, Sharjah loses a little (we look at suitable hotels for children). The advantage of Sharjah is that its city beaches are very deserted, almost never happens there. local residents and certainly there will be no drunken Russians - a good "beach felting" is guaranteed for you. Entertainment is good: Heritage Village with old houses, an old bazaar, an oceanarium, Al Qasbah embankment with playgrounds, cafes, and, most importantly, a 60 meter high Ferris wheel (Eye Of The Emirates). 
In general, Sharjah has a very calm atmosphere - there are no clubs and bars, so you can have a good rest here 100%.
Abu Dhabi
An immense green city with chic mosques and colorful oriental bazaars. You won't be bored here! If you want to sunbathe, then the beaches of Abu Dhabi are very good - well-equipped, clean, with the opportunity to engage the whole family aquatic species sports. This is a high quality beach holiday, so it would be a shame to come to Abu Dhabi for a day trip. A mirage city, this oriental fairy tale in the desert will impress all your family members (at least if your children are already able to appreciate the beauty of architecture! 
There are also many hotels in Abu Dhabi, many are part of large world 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 large Abu Dhabi for a relaxing family holiday with children's mini-clubs and playgrounds (for example). 
The entertainment in Adu Dhabi is good. Al-Ain Zoo near Mount Jebel Hafeet is the largest zoo in the entire Middle East, and admire the beauty of observation deck you simply owe this mountain! It is impossible not to go to the Garden of Eden Al Ain (Al Ain Paradise), an hour and a half from Abu Dhabi and look at the Eiffel Tower of flowers with a height of 12 meters. 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 applied to create 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, 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 soft weather, come in October, November, March and April.
The best time for walks and excursions it's December, January and February... Almost every month the country opens new hotel and a new attraction.
Family hotels in the UAE will provide comfortable rest for tourists with children of any age.

We visited the sea for the first time with an expanded train. Under the cut, it is wordy about the trip: about calling a doctor for insurance, about food, about entertainment, about flights and a lot !!! pictures.
First, about the bad. They brought otitis media from the Emirates. Now we are finishing the treatment, I hope it will be without 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 (three really climb at once), and that we just need to knock down high fever... Since there was no temperature during the day, and it was cheerful, we believed, and only later I realized that he had not looked at his ears. The next night everything repeated, I waited with horror for the night before departure (departure was at five in the morning), but Marusya slept without waking up and without temperature, and in the morning we saw that "water" was flowing from the 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 pt), but the flight went well - the otitis media had already broken through (as a result of the perforation of the eardrum), and there was no more pain and temperature, but from the plane we immediately went to the doctor. I don’t know where we didn’t see, when bathing, it seems, water did not get into our ears. I blame the ubiquitous air conditioners in the Emirates, although they did not boil very much.
Well, actually, about the trip.
Marusya was happy at sea. At first I was afraid to go into the water, but then it was impossible to pull it out. Screamed "mooo!" and ran "pa" (I mean to swim). I poked around in the sand for hours, buried my feet, collected shells and even helped senior foreign comrades to build walls near the fortress from sand))
Only in the evenings she was sad. After dinner, at eight o'clock, she really wanted to run and chat, but although there were many small children, none of them went out in the evening. Children a little older did not want to communicate. Well, rather, German children. A few days later, Morevna became friends with Czech children, and they are the most beautiful children in the world, entertained her, made her laugh, walked by the hand, listened to her stories about who she was! (flowers, which she is afraid of), did not understand anything and gave her these flowers and weaved them into her hair)) In general, a solid mimimi) There was also a Russian girl two years older, with whom they too the last days were friends, played catch-up and rummaged in the sand.
It was, for the most part, very easy for us with her. 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 they are, nothing else is needed) She was running around, playing with the children , constantly flirted with people in restaurants, with waiters.
They fed her local food, we had half board, but there was no place for lunch, so most often they dined at the same buffet hotel. In the morning she ate oatmeal - there were no other cereals and yogurt, day and evening, or soup (most often the 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 she would not eat savory cereals at home, but no, I returned to home cooking for a sweet soul. From food, I took with me cans of Hipp "Good Night" with semolina and rice, 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 afternoon tea (a couple were brought back and forth). I also took cookies, several fruit drinks and several bottles of water. At the local supermarket, you could buy juices, baby water, yoghurts, cookies, smoothies in bags, there were different cans and dishes like pasta and vegetables from Hipp (they tried it once, but my daughter refused to eat such baby food)). In general, they 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 kind of sandwiches like cheese + tomato. Was it really impossible in the Hilton 5 stars to make at least one soup for dinner with children in mind (as well as ulcers, allergy sufferers and people who do not like spicy foods)? How about at least two types of cereals to choose from? For us, the food was a lot different, but we did not like it at all, the fruits were unsweetened and tasteless, there were no greens, tea and coffee were disgusting, there was little pastry and nothing. In short, for a meal to the hotel a triple with a stretch. A couple of times we dined in restaurants, but on the territory of the hotel, almost all restaurants opened only in the evening. We ate deliciously once - on the plane on the way home, breakfast in business class was sooo delicious))
The hotel itself is at the level - the territory, rooms, numerous swimming 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) Twice a weekend the singer (Russian) sang), 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 already big children, on which figs you can climb, a couple of swings and rocking caterpillars, that's all, but we stuck into the children's room - there were several big children who were sitting with a sad look and drew, and nothing else. Maroussia twice tried to get out through the glass door, bumped into it with a running start, after which we chose to retreat. The children's pool was always fun, but I didn’t want her to bathe in bleach and other pool-related joys, so we almost didn’t go there.
While resting in Hilton Resort& Spa, I never got to the spa: (I put it off until the last days, and in the last days Marya got sick. So I went to a massage, called.
From the cultural program - we went to Dubai (from Ras al-Khaimah for an hour), did not go anywhere there, except for the Oceanarium in Dubai Mall, and, in fact, children's stores (of which there are a lot). There was also a very rich bookstore with books in English, in the children's department my eyes ran up, Marusya was capricious, and I never bought anything. The next day we drove 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 archaeological museums, but this one is terribly boring), then to the market, where we wanted last and where all the goods are - China with an Arabian flavor, then again 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 engine, but it was not clear how to carry them, and I did not buy anything again) By this time, of course, my daughter was already tired and hungry, we were brought to some completely disheveled smelly Arab restaurant, I turned around and demanded to take us to the hotel, so we did not see why we were going. We went to the Ras al-Khaimah zoo, but it was completely rural, only large felines 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 the 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, conditions are worse than in the electric train, because it is not so hot and stuffy in the train) The air conditioners above the seats did not dare to turn on. It was very crowded, huddled in two places by the aunty at the window, respectively, we didn’t have to go out too much (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 not being capricious at the same time! At all! We were engaged in looking out the window, flirting with neighbors on the plane, water coloring (Melissa and Doug - a must-have thing on the road, water right in the brush!), Stickers (it took a long time unexpectedly), food - cans, bagels, then a muffin, then Mom's sandwich ... Pandas Schleich and a big bear, bought specially for the trip) But they would have done without it. Back 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 (not for long, about 15 minutes) a film about bears in wildlife on the TV screen (it is in the first row, far from the eyes, about one and a half meters). As an emergency entertainment we had a laptop with cartoons, it was not needed even once.
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 discussed this moment. But the chair was given back. We changed the plane tickets for business already at check-in for the return flight, it seems like it's much cheaper than buying a business right away. Economy and business are heaven and earth on the aircraft of Fly Dubai, I do not advise this company to fly economy with children if there is an opportunity (although our flight went there well, but I think we were lucky).
Summary - we liked the trip because it was good to be all together, relax, breathe the sea air and see how happy Marusya is. We didn't really 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. We did NOT like the place (in trying to escape from skyscrapers and tourist fleets, I again, as I did in Egypt, chose a boring and far from everything), and did not like the hotel because of the food and lack of thoughtfulness for children (although when I chose hotel according to reviews, I had the opposite opinion about it!) Compared to my last vacation at the sea - in Sicily, even before pregnancy, this one was not lying around, it was very boring (and the child was not to blame). And yes, I regretted not having gone to Tenerife, even if it was a little cooler there.
I will start writing my LONG review about the rest in the emirates.
So, the flight was from Samara and / to Transaero, of course, in front of the airport - check-in to Ikea (without this it is not easy). Waiting at the airport for about 6 hours (since the flight was overnight.)
Samara Airport: I collected reviews about it, but I am writing my opinion: In principle, decent - three floors, on the second there is only a waiting room (we sat there all the time before registration - ONE), on the first - actually registration, on zero - a cafe, toilets, and also armchairs ... but there are people! There is so much needed for everyone while waiting for a flight - Wi-Fi, it brightened up the waiting
My daughter fell asleep in a 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 there - which further brightens up the waiting for the flight.
Transaero: outraged that we barely registered all together for a row, transaero has the option 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 is not valid! And in the end, all the "trump" seats were taken on the plane, and we had to sit in the tail. Well, figs with him - the daughter slept the whole flight, I did not move! By the way, the food was delicious!
UAE: the flight went quickly 4 hours 10 minutes (instead of the promised 4 hours 55 minutes). Arrival at terminal 1 (OH is so huge) - passport control - we were led out of line with a stroller!
There was no point in waiting for a public transfer - we left by taxi, since it was only 15 = 20 minutes to Sharjah.
HOTEL: we choose Sharjah not for the first time - even if the hotels there are not new, like in Dubai, BUT the beach ones, everything is close (both alcoholic shops and Dubai). Carlton Sharjah 4, we only got the 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 accommodation in our case.
As a result: we were 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 their arrival we booked room 905 for them, the best (well, 906) in my opinion ... everything is close, you can see the real sea (not like in the other "sea views"), and people especially does not go by!
This is a view of the room from the sea ...
all the evenings we spent on their terrace of course!
In general, who needs detailed info - 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 ...
Order: wake up at 7 am (our dad) - he ran to the sea and towels on the sun loungers in the shade for us, then everyone gets up, morning procedures, and eat for breakfast, at 8.30 we were already at sea, as a rule, our daughter was busy in the sand, then swam, and then slept until about 12.
After 12 o'clock c - everyone washed, changed their clothes, and hung out in different directions. Sometimes they ate in the Kazan restaurant - there is ordinary food, dumplings, borscht, okroshka and so on ...
This time we visited:
1 Atlantis Waterpark
- costs 240 dirham (this is about 2,000 rubles) per person. I didn't really like the water park, since everything is scattered throughout the territory and until you get from one slide to another, it will already be closed. And sooooo many Indians, they're all over there. In short, we didn't want to rest in this hotel, we didn't really like the beach, it doesn't look like a sea at all.
2. Wild water park Wadi
- our favorite, there are super slides on buns. The son was delighted.
3. Finally visited the IBN trampoline ...
-
this is a shopping center with halls different countries... Well ... once you can go
4... Of course Dubai mall - The country of KidZania and the fountains are world famous, this time they did not climb the caliph's burj.
kidzania- a country of professions for children from 2 years of age and older. The elder and I did not go, he hung out there on his own ... remained in wild delight.
This year from fountains not happy even ... in the past were mega happy.
5. Of course we rode dubai subway
6. Were in SAFA Park, I read that there is a nursery transport village, real city for children with traffic lights and traffic cops, but apparently the reviews let down - they didn't see this there ... but beautiful view there
7. Finally visited Sharjah park. … We went for a ride on the Ferris wheel - nothing special… I didn't like the cabins with the Conder.
8. Again we managed this year in Sharjah aquarium , super-duper, worth a penny. The children are delighted, the daughter, staring at the fish, fell asleep ...
There are a lot of FISH - all are beautiful, there is a pool with sharks.
9.of course Shopping center ... it's not easy without them
Were in the Outlet Mall, Deira City Center, Sharjah City Center, Sahara Mall - prices this season are frantic, everything is expensive, even in chain stores there prices are amazing, while online everything is much cheaper.
Well, we didn't leave without shopping, of course, a suitcase of 30 kg of new things, and by the way, the suitcase itself too (they had the idea to buy from last year already, in the end they took a samsaite)!
10. Visited Nasser Square.... nothing special - a lot of fur shops, and heaps of Indians and incomprehensible people ...
There are fish restaurants near the hotel - we ate there often, since food in the city (parks, water parks, shopping centers) is mostly fast food ... they flew naked to fish restaurants. We didn’t have time to visit restaurants in Dubai again ... then the children want to sleep and we rush to Sharjah ... then they themselves do not have the strength ... 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 ... it is a huge territory of different parks. The Global Village and the Flower Park are open - these two places remained closed to us ... and they didn’t want to go there for the second time ... we also left them for the next year.
Flower park - the most beautiful in the world ... it’s a pity that we didn’t get it
My daughter took 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 tirelessly!
In the afternoon after the sea, I slept two more times in a wheelchair (regardless of where we were). In the evening - her dad rolled in a wheelchair, and she slept until morning.
At home, we sleep only 1 time during the day, and at night we wake up periodically.
Anywhere in the Emirates = everything is created for children, in any toilet there is a baby room, there is a diaper, napkins, a device with diapers.
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 wore a woolen donut and felt perfect!
From not visited places - I will add - more Shardin Zoo, well, a super place, there it is not in the open air, and you walk along the cool corridors, and do not bathe in the heat! We will definitely visit it !!!
Friends were - the children were delighted!
We flew back at 10.35 - managed to have breakfast, and went by taxi, without any transfers.
BUT - they were in such a hurry ... that for some unknown reason they forgot the son's helicopter on the control panel and a package with warm clothes for Russia ...
They came to their 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 await us next year, or if someone from my acquaintances goes to the UAE before that, they will definitely give them to them.
These are such honest people there, sooooo I doubt that they did this in some other country, although I may not be right.
Conversely - at the airport we are as usual - without queues everywhere, seats were given in the first salon, where the distance between the seats is huge, and you can stretch your legs comfortably! The flight was also perfect, the daughter ate, stared out the window, and gasped before arrival ... then the whole plane was touched when it left - that she opened her eyes and smiled at once!
In Russia, of course, not about any out of turn - there is no question at all, so we stood with everyone! But they got out quickly enough. And back home ... the children slept all the way!
Well, that seems to be all ... that I would like to leave in my memory about this trip. If anyone is interested, I will answer any questions.
Speaking of the weather, we were in September, the pace was about +45 on the street, the water was + 33 ... of course it was hard to breathe after 11 in the morning ... and on the street they immediately became wet, BUT the sea was so cool ... and warm - like butter ... you couldn't get out wanted!
In November, the air rate was +30, the water rate was +29 - that is, the water seemed cool and refreshing ... we came to the conclusion that after all hot water we like it better. And we will go next time - after all, in September!
