Sun’s Out, Plans In Your Family’s Guide to Summer in the UAE
By Kim Tormey, UAE Parent
W hen the UAE summer arrives in full force, keeping children entertained and active can quickly become a daily challenge. The rising temperatures make outdoor play difficult, and it’s easy to fall back on tablets and TV to get through the day. But with a little creativity and a willingness to try something new, summer can still be filled with movement, fun, and quality family time. From under-the-radar staycations to energetic indoor activities, there are plenty of family-fun options to help make the summer months memorable. GET AWAY WITHOUT GOING FAR: The Staycation Option For families looking for a proper change of scenery, a staycation at Danat Jebel Dhanna in Abu Dhabi’s Al Dhanna City is well worth considering. Around a three- hour drive from Dubai, it feels far enough away to truly disconnect, yet close enough for a stress-free road trip. What sets it apart is its all-inclusive offering, which takes the pressure off parents. With meals, snacks, and activities bundled into one package, there’s no need to constantly plan or budget. It’s all taken care of!
