LET'S GO ON AN ADVENTURE!

Happiness is an open road. Beg, borrow or buy a motor, stock up on snacks, buckle in the whole fam, and start exploring the best family-friendly activities the Emirates have to offer

The key ingredients to a perfect family adventure are sun, good grub, welcoming resorts, plenty of waterslides, and a sturdy motor with a big fuel tank. The UAE has all that and plenty more and now is the perfect time to plan a local-bound trip to remember. There is certainly something for everyone, whether you’re travelling with grandma, your kids, nieces and nephews, the family dog, or all of the above. And, to make planning as easy as possible, here’s our ultimate must-dos for your trip.

DUBAI

BRUNCH

The Green Planet’s sloth brunch

We’ve seen some wild things on the Dubai brunch scene, but never before have we man-handled a python over pancakes. Until the launch of The Green Planet’s Picnic Brunch with Sloth and Friends. It’s a wholesome, wellorganised affair, with plenty of space between tables, a familyfriendly menu, and animal encounters that your little ones will love.

The Green Planet, Fri and Sat 10am to 1pm. Dhs175 for adults, Dhs49 for children (under 5s free). thegreenplanetdubai.com/en/ offers/picnic-brunch

DO

Visit Hatta Wadi Hub

This outdoor adventure centre (open daily from 8am to 6pm) is where you’ll find Hatta’s popular airstream trailers and eco-friendly lodges, both brilliant for overnight stays surrounded by nature. But it’s also home to a handful of fun activities, including zorbing, archery, a net walkway, mountain biking trails, a drop-in water slide, and a brand-new tube sliding ride.
