Dubai and Abu Dhabi offer everything from an indoor tropical biodome to a full safari day at one of the region's leading zoos. I help select the right experience for the children's ages, arrange transfers and plan the day.
How to choose
With young children aged 2-6, choose The Green Planet or the Crocodile Park: covered spaces, air-conditioning, no long walks, and animals you can see up close.
For children aged 6-14, Dubai Safari Park offers a large zoo and safari zone for a half-day visit. Horse riding is another memorable first experience.
For a full adventure day, Al Ain Zoo combines regional wildlife, conservation history and a journey beyond Dubai, with transfer included.
For a childhood dream, choose swimming with dolphins. I reserve the time slot in advance and help the family prepare for the experience.
