Off the Beaten Path in Dubai

Eleven nights that go past Dubai's greatest hits to La Perle, IMG Worlds and a guided walk through the Burj Al Arab most shorter trips skip.

11 Nights / 12 DaysDuration
2Cities

Most Dubai itineraries run five to seven nights and stick to a fixed list , Burj Khalifa, a desert safari, one day in Abu Dhabi. Eleven nights changes the shape of the trip entirely. There's room for La Perle's acrobatic show, a guided walk through the inside of the Burj Al Arab, and an indoor theme park most shorter visits never get to.

This is one of the Dubai itineraries we've planned for a family before , 11 nights, 12 days across Abu Dhabi and Dubai, built for 4 adults and 1 child (3.5 years) travelling together. It's shared here to show what a longer, deeper route through the UAE could look like. A version built around your own family's size, pace, and dates would look a little different , and that's the point.

Why This Trip

Why Go Beyond the Standard Dubai List

Why Go Beyond the Standard Dubai List

Two days on Yas Island open the trip before the family even reaches Dubai, one theme park included with each night's stay. From there, the extra nights go toward the attractions a five or six-night trip has to leave out , OliOli's sensory play museum, IMG Worlds of Adventure's indoor rides, and a guided interior tour of the Burj Al Arab that most visitors only ever see from outside.

If you asked us: this is the version of Dubai for a family that has already done the standard trip once and wants to go further into it, not repeat it. December's cooler evenings help too, especially with a desert safari and a two-hour yacht ride landing in the same week.
