The best resorts in the UAE for families with children

Embankment and beach in Ras Al Khaimah – in the evening to walk here nicely

Resorts, where it is better to rest in the UAE with children (and without children too not bad):

✓ Dubai – the city is good for several criteria: many flights from Russia, leisure for children and adults any age and range of interests, you can vary the beach rest or completely abandon it, opting for excursion program

✓ Abu Dhabi is the official capital and one of places to go to the UAE with a child: beaches with coral sand, Ferrari Park (for big and small car lovers), Al Ain Garden of Eden, water park and other entertainment, concentrated in one place, on the island of Yas (approx. artificial island in the emirate)

✓ Sharjah and Ajman being at a distance of 10 km from each other, have a very convenient location: to Dubai is about 30 km away, while accommodation is much cheaper

✓ Umm al-Quwain – one of the few resorts UAE, where you can enjoy traditional, relaxed Arabic way of life. Less skyscrapers, and life in the old city boils

✓ Ras al-Khaimah – Northern Emirate, located on border with Oman. There is not a lot of entertainment, but gorgeous beaches and no dry law

✓ Fujairah – located on the Arabian coast Sea, an interesting underwater world. The resort is being built that somewhat spoils the idealistic picture of the relaxed holidays

Prices for food in the UAE

We ate for the most part we in Afghan cafes – delicious and relatively inexpensive

On average, in the Emirates, lunch / dinner in the restaurant economy class will cost 150 dirham for two. In Dubai, a little more expensive, in Sharjah – cheaper. Several establishments in the most expensive of all resorts Dubai, which received positive feedback from visitors thanks good price-quality combination:

1. Golden Fork is a chain of fish restaurants in Dubai and Sharjah. The most high cost seafood specialty for two – 250 dirham
2. Nefertiti Restaurant – close to Russian cuisine: soups, burgers, etc. When a child is picky about food and refuses eat “overseas” dishes. Meal for two plus small fit into the budget of 100 dirham
3. Аfghan Khorasan Kabab – a restaurant of Afghan cuisine. Huge portions, tasty, budget. Dinner for two at around 80 dirham

Many Russian tourists, “regulars” of the Emirates, recommend Afghan catering as a place for rest optimal in the ratio tasty / inexpensive. Similar institutions recently in the UAE has become lots of. They feed well and much, very much.

1. Bice Mare – view restaurant for dancing fountains and Burj Caliph. Mediterranean cuisine, the price tag is high but tasty and beautiful. Dinner for two about 300 dirham
2. Nusr-Et Steakhouse is another great chef’s top spot. known as Salt Bae ☺ Steaks here at around $ 100, burgers from $ 40

If in Dubai itself the choice of public catering is wide enough, then on many resorts are not so simple. Hotels are removed from settlements. To eat you need to go by taxi. AT In most cases it makes sense to take “full board”. Fed in Four-five-star food is delicious, there is a menu suitable for children. Not will have to run around with a hungry child in the neighborhood in search of “not sharply, not spicy, I don’t want meat, I want soup, “etc.
