Family holidays are about spending quality time together, exploring new destinations and creating memories that everyone can enjoy. Dubai offers an exciting combination of modern attractions, cultural experiences, family entertainment and relaxing sightseeing opportunities. From impressive skyscrapers to desert adventures, the city has something for different age groups.
A 6 Nights 7 Days Dubai Family Tour Package gives families an opportunity to experience Dubai and Abu Dhabi over a complete week. With comfortable hotel accommodation, daily breakfast, sightseeing experiences and private airport transfers, families can enjoy a well-organised holiday while exploring some of the UAE’s most recognised attractions.
Why Is a Seven-Day Dubai Holiday Suitable for Families?
A week-long holiday provides enough time to explore different attractions without making every day feel rushed. Parents can enjoy sightseeing, children can experience exciting activities, and everyone gets opportunities to relax between excursions.
Here are some reasons why this duration works well for families:
- More sightseeing opportunities: Explore Dubai’s popular landmarks and experience Abu Dhabi during the same holiday.
- Different experiences: Combine city tours, desert adventures, waterfront dining and modern attractions.
- Comfortable accommodation: Stay in one Dubai hotel for six consecutive nights.
- Family flexibility: Request suitable room arrangements and additional activities according to your requirements.
- Leisure time: Enjoy free periods between scheduled excursions instead of spending the entire holiday travelling.
What Experiences Can Families Enjoy During Seven Days in Dubai?
The itinerary combines sightseeing, entertainment and relaxation, giving families an opportunity to experience different sides of the UAE.
Day 1: Arrival in Dubai and Hotel Check-in
Your holiday begins with arrival at Dubai International Airport. Meet the representative and continue to your selected hotel through a private airport transfer.
After completing check-in, spend the remaining time relaxing with your family. You can explore nearby surroundings at your own pace if everyone feels comfortable after the journey.
Day 2: Dubai City Tour and Marina Dhow Cruise
Begin the day with a Half-Day Dubai City Tour after breakfast. Explore selected landmarks and areas around Jumeirah, Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina according to the scheduled route.
Later, enjoy a Dhow Cruise Dinner at Dubai Marina. The illuminated waterfront and dinner onboard create a pleasant evening for parents and children.
Day 3: Evening Desert Safari Adventure
Keep the morning free for relaxation before heading towards the desert in the evening.
The scheduled safari experience includes:
- Dune bashing
- Camel riding
- Sandboarding
- Sunset photography
- BBQ dinner
- Live entertainment at the desert camp
Families should discuss children’s ages and any health or mobility requirements before confirming this activity. Dune bashing may not be suitable for infants, pregnant guests or people with certain medical or physical conditions.
Day 4: Full-Day Abu Dhabi City Tour
Explore another emirate with a full-day Abu Dhabi City Tour. This excursion introduces families to selected landmarks of the UAE capital.
Since the journey takes most of the day, parents travelling with younger children should consider their regular meal times, rest requirements and comfort.
Day 5: Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and Dubai Fountain
Visit Downtown Dubai and experience Burj Khalifa At The Top on the 124th Floor with an off-peak entry ticket.
Afterwards, enjoy leisure time at Dubai Mall. Families can explore the shopping and dining areas before spending time around the Dubai Fountain area according to the day’s schedule.
Day 6: Dubai Frame and Museum of the Future
Continue exploring Dubai with two distinctive attractions. Dubai Frame offers contrasting views of the city’s older neighbourhoods and modern skyline.
Next, visit the Museum of the Future, which introduces visitors to imaginative ideas and modern technological concepts. Both attractions add variety to the family’s sightseeing experience.
Day 7: Breakfast and Departure
Enjoy your final breakfast before checking out from the hotel. A private return airport transfer will take your family to Dubai International Airport for departure.

When Is the Best Time to Visit Dubai With Family?
Dubai welcomes visitors throughout the year, but the weather can influence which experiences families prefer.
- November to March: Pleasant weather makes outdoor sightseeing, desert activities and evening excursions more comfortable.
- April, May and October: These months are warmer and can offer a balance between outdoor and indoor experiences.
- June to September: Summer temperatures are high, so families may prefer air-conditioned attractions, shopping centres, museums, aquariums and indoor entertainment.
Choose your travel period according to school holidays, children’s comfort and the activities you want to enjoy.
