Dubai for 4 days - what to do with kids?
Hi all,
Driving over from Muscat on Tuesday until Saturday. Normally on my own but being school holidays the kids are coming with me.
They are 2 and 3 years old so little nippers. What can I do to entertain them during Ramadan? In addition, where can we go/whats open to eat lunch during the day that is kid friendly (read cheap!).
Cheers in advance!

Smuggle in some drinks and snacks to keep the cost down. Put them at the bottom of your bag, 'cos they search the top of your bag on entry.

The resto at Ski Slope in Mall of Emirates usually opens over Ramadan as part of Kempinski hotel. Lots of choice there.

They will love KidZania. It's expensive as if I remember correctly you pay for each adult despite the fact that there literally nothing for you to do there.
Last year during ramadan some of the 'rides' were closed (i.e. the ones where they make pizzas). That said, maccers was open and they could work there. You could eat and drink behind the curtains.
Last year they offered a deeply discounted ticket for the next day if you wanted to go back.
Have you considered going via Al-Ain and stopping off at the Zoo there? Great place and dirt cheap for what it is.
