Day-by-day itinerary

Our Dubai host meets you at the airport and drives you to your hotel, about 30 minutes. The rest of the day is deliberately empty: a walk along The Beach at JBR, an early dinner, and an early night so the children are on local time by morning.

The route

Dubai → Al Lahbab Desert → Abu Dhabi → Yas Island, about 200 km of driving in total.

Where you'll stay

Nights 1–3
Marina Reef Hotel & ResidencesDubai · connecting rooms held for families, 5 minutes from The Beach at JBR
5-star
Night 4
Yas Palm ResortAbu Dhabi (Yas Island) · shaded family pool, shuttle to the Yas Island parks
5-star

Both properties are held on request; December and the school winter break sell out early, so hotels are confirmed the day you approve the plan. Equivalent-category alternatives apply if a property is full.

Meals

4 breakfasts at your hotels · 1 barbecue dinner at the desert camp. Everything else is open, which is the point in a city this good at eating out.Vegetarian food in Dubai is genuinely easy — Karama, Al Rigga and Bur Dubai are full of South Indian and Gujarati kitchens, and your travel manager carries a shortlist with a pure-vegetarian option near each hotel.We do not guarantee pure-vegetarian-only kitchens on this route: hotel breakfast buffets and the desert camp are shared kitchens. Jain meals can be arranged at named restaurants, and the desert camp will run a separate vegetarian grill with 72 hours' notice — tell us at enquiry.

What this trip costs

₹1,45,000₹2,15,000 per person

Family trips on this route usually land somewhere in this range, per person for a family of four sharing two rooms. Where yours falls depends on hotel category, how many theme parks you add, and whether you travel in the winter school break or the quieter shoulder weeks. Your advisor builds the exact plan and price with you before anything is booked.

Ruchi has planned Dubai family trips for nine years and knows which attractions are worth a morning and which are worth skipping with a six-year-old in tow. She stays on WhatsApp with you from the first draft through to your return flight.

Families who took this trip

Two kids under eight and my mother-in-law, and nobody melted down. The rest afternoons Ruchi insisted on were the reason — we thought she was being overcautious until day three.

Nikhil & Shruti Bhatia · travelled Dec 2025, family of 5

The Abu Dhabi night instead of a day trip made all the difference. We reached Warner Bros. World at opening rather than after two hours in the car, and the visa came through in four days.
