Because Dubai has magic for every age — not just roller coasters.


🏖️ Introduction

Dubai is known for its world-class theme parks — but that’s just the beginning.
Beyond the rides and slides, there’s a side of the city that families often miss — one filled with real adventures, culture, and togetherness.

At Fun Tours Dubai, we’ve helped thousands of families create memories across the UAE — from camel rides in golden dunes to dinner under desert stars.
Here’s our guide to the most family-friendly Dubai adventures that go beyond amusement parks.


🐪 1. Desert Safari – Where Every Family Story Begins

No Dubai trip is complete without a desert safari.
Kids love the camel rides, parents enjoy the sunset views, and everyone bonds over dune bashing and BBQ dinner under the stars.

Choose between shared or private desert safaris — both come with entertainment, food, and unforgettable fun.
