A closer look at this 6-night journey through Dubai— who it's built for, what you'll experience, and why the pace works.
Journey notes
Why this route works
Why families pick this Dubai route
This plan keeps the big parks grouped so the family is not crossing the city every day. IMG Worlds of Adventure, Global Village and the desert evening are the headline stops, with Downtown Dubai and Old Dubai filling the calmer days. One free afternoon every two to three days gives children a rest window and grandparents time off their feet — a detail that makes a real difference over seven days.
Transfers are short by Dubai standards. The hotel sits near Downtown or Dubai Marina, both of which are on the Red Line metro, so the family can reach Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa area without a car. The Green Line covers Deira and Bur Dubai for the Old Dubai half-day.
Best time to visit Dubai with children
November to March is the most practical window for Indian families, with temperatures between 16°C and 29°C and manageable outdoor conditions for parks and the desert. December and January see peak crowds and peak prices, so book early if you are travelling in school holidays. April, May and October are warmer but less crowded, with medium prices. June to September regularly crosses 39–41°C — outdoor time is limited and the desert safari is uncomfortable for small children and elders in that heat.
What the trip costs and what drives it
The base price of Rs.50,000 per person covers six nights in a 4-star hotel on twin sharing, daily breakfast, airport transfers, park visits and the desert safari. Flights, Dubai visa charges and personal spending are separate. The table below shows indicative per-person price tiers for the land package.
| Hotel Category | Indicative Price (per person, land only) | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| 3-star, budget | Approx Rs.37,500 | Smaller rooms, fewer in-hotel facilities |
| 4-star, standard | Rs.50,000 (default) | Family rooms or connecting rooms available on request |
| 5-star, premium | Approx Rs.80,000 | Larger rooms, pool access, better location |
Child pricing depends on age and bed requirement. Hotel category, room type, park ticket dates and any optional upgrades move the final figure — confirm at booking.
Kid and Elder Logistics
Families travelling with toddlers and grandparents need a few practical arrangements sorted before the trip starts. Most 4-star hotels in Downtown and Dubai Marina offer family rooms that fit two adults and two children, or connecting rooms for larger groups. Request this at booking rather than on arrival.
- Strollers: Dubai Mall, IMG Worlds and Global Village all have smooth, flat surfaces. Strollers are practical at all three. Compact umbrella strollers are easier in taxis and metro stations.
- Wheelchair access: Dubai Metro stations have lifts, and Dubai Mall is fully accessible. Confirm accessibility at specific parks when booking.
- Rest stops: The desert safari involves a dune drive of roughly 45–60 minutes on sand. Elders with back or joint issues should flag this at booking so the operator can arrange a gentler vehicle or skip the dunes.
- Snacks on transfers: Pack biscuits and water for children on the desert drive. Food stalls at Global Village open in the evening, so a light snack before leaving the hotel avoids hunger on the way.
Why This Works for Families
The itinerary is built around three things Indian families consistently ask for: short travel times between activities, activities that work across age groups and food that children and elders will actually eat.
- IMG Worlds is fully indoors and air-conditioned — no heat, no sun, no long queues outside.
- Global Village has country pavilions with Indian food stalls, so finding a familiar meal is straightforward.
- The desert safari includes a camel ride and henna, which work for ages five and above and for grandparents who skip the dunes.
- Dubai Mall's KidZania, Dubai Ice Rink and Dubai Aquarium keep younger children occupied while elders sit at a café nearby.
- The Old Dubai half-day is slow-paced — a short abra ride across Dubai Creek and a walk through the spice souk, with no long standing queues.
Highlights by Age Group
Different members of the family get the most out of different days. Here is a rough split.
Younger children (under 10)
- KidZania inside Dubai Mall — role-play activities for children aged 2–16
- Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo — walk-through tunnel and touch pools
- Dubai Ice Rink — skating sessions with rental skates
- Camel ride and henna at the desert safari
- Fairground rides at Global Village
Teenagers
- IMG Worlds of Adventure — larger rides and Marvel and Cartoon Network zones
- Global Village — evening shows and food from different countries
- Burj Khalifa observation deck (ticket to be confirmed at booking)
- Dubai Frame for city views
Grandparents
- Dubai Mall — flat, air-conditioned, with seating throughout
- Old Dubai creek walk and abra ride — short and easy-paced
- Dubai Frame — lift access, no long walks
- Desert camp dinner — seated, with live music and cultural performances
Pace, Rest and Daily Rhythm
The itinerary runs at a pace that suits mixed-age groups. Park days start after breakfast and finish by early evening. No day has more than two major stops.
- Days 1 and 2 are deliberately light — arrival recovery and an indoor mall day.
- Day 3 (IMG Worlds) is the most active day; plan for 6–7 hours at the park.
- Day 4 has a free afternoon built in after the Old Dubai morning.
- Day 5 starts slow and picks up in the evening at Global Village.
- Day 6 has a mid-afternoon rest before the desert pick-up, usually around 3–4 pm.
- Day 7 is checkout and departure — keep the morning free for last-minute shopping if the flight is in the afternoon.
Rooms, Meals and Comfort
Family rooms and connecting rooms are available at most 4-star hotels in Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina. Request connecting rooms at booking, not on arrival, especially during December–January when occupancy is high.
Breakfast is included daily. Indian vegetarian food is widely available across Dubai — at hotel buffets, in Dubai Mall's food court and at Global Village's Indian pavilion stalls. For Jain meals without onion and garlic, inform us at booking so dinner stops can be planned accordingly. Child-friendly options such as pasta, pizza and rice dishes are standard at most mid-range restaurants near the hotel areas.
Travelling with Kids and Elders: Five Practical Tips
- Carry medicines with prescriptions. Some medications need a UAE health authority clearance. Check the official UAE government portal before travel and carry originals, not photocopies.
- Dress in layers. Outdoor temperatures in winter sit around 16–24°C in the morning, but malls and indoor parks are heavily air-conditioned. Light jackets for children and elders prevent colds.
- Get a nol card on arrival. The nol card covers Dubai Metro, buses, tram and marine transport. A standard nol card costs AED 25 (including AED 19 balance) as of 2026. Metro fares run AED 4 within one zone on a regular Red Ticket.
- Book park tickets in advance. IMG Worlds and Global Village can sell out on weekends and public holidays. Confirm ticket dates at booking.
- Carry ID for children. Some parks and hotel check-ins ask for proof of age for child pricing. Keep passport copies accessible in your phone.
Where You Stay in Dubai on This Trip
The default hotel for this package is a 4-star property near Downtown Dubai or Dubai Marina. Both areas give metro access to Dubai Mall and easy taxi connections to IMG Worlds and Global Village.

| Standard 4-star (default) | Downtown or Dubai Marina | Families; metro access; family rooms available | Rs.50,000 |
| Premium 5-star | Jumeirah or Palm Jumeirah | Larger families wanting resort facilities | Approx Rs.80,000 |
All prices are per person on twin sharing, land only, as of 2026. Confirm the exact room type and child rates at booking.
Dubai Entry, Money and Flights for Indian Travellers
Indian passport holders need a UAE visa before travel. The visa is applied for online through the official UAE government portal or through an authorised agent — check the official portal for the current fee and processing time, as these change. The local currency is the UAE Dirham (AED); do not quote or rely on exchange rates from memory — check a bank or authorised forex dealer close to your travel date. Direct flights from Delhi take about 3.5 hours and from Bengaluru about 4 hours; other major Indian cities including Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune and Ahmedabad have direct or one-stop connections to Dubai International Airport (DXB). Do not book flights until the visa is confirmed. Fares vary by airline and season — confirm at booking.

FamilyTravelled with my parents who are in their late 50s. Tripstor recommended two full acclimatization days in Leh before any high-altitude drives and that made a real difference. Tso Moriri was quieter than Pangong and honestly more worth the drive.
FriendsThree friends and I did a 9-night Australia package with stops in Melbourne and Sydney. We spent an afternoon at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and caught a local match. Tripstor sorted our group visa applications together which saved a lot of back and forth. Good experience overall.
CoupleNorway is expensive but the experience is worth planning for. We did the Flam Railway and the Sognefjord on Day 5. Tripstor gave us a realistic budget breakdown before we booked, which I appreciated. No surprises on the ground.
