Day by day plan
- Day 1
Fly to Dubai
You fly from Nairobi in about 5 hours 30 minutes. Choose a daytime departure if your children are small. A driver meets you in arrivals and takes you to the family room. Walk to a nearby restaurant for an easy dinner. Kids often fall asleep early after the flight, which suits the busy days that follow.
- Day 2
Theme park day
Pick one park for your children’s ages. Under 7s enjoy a Lego themed park or a children’s city. Ages 8 to 12 prefer rides and indoor adventure zones. Teens love big coasters and water slides. Tickets are included for this day. Pack snacks, hats and a change of clothes and plan to stay until the evening.
- Day 3
City tour and the Burj Khalifa area
A guide takes you around Dubai in a family van. You see the Jumeirah Mosque, the Burj Al Arab and the Palm Jumeirah. The Dubai Mall has an aquarium and an indoor play centre, so it works as a rest stop. The fountain show in the evening is free and kids enjoy it.
- Day 4
Desert safari and a pool afternoon
Keep the morning free for the hotel pool or beach. In the afternoon a 4×4 collects you for a desert safari. The dune ride, camel ride and sand boarding are crowd pleasers and dinner is BBQ. Tell us if your child dislikes bumpy rides and we choose a gentler route.
- Day 5
Free morning and flight home
Spend the morning at the pool or the beach, or visit the Dubai Frame. Check out and transfer to the airport about three hours before your flight. You land in Nairobi the same day. If your kids want more, a later trip can add Abu Dhabi with its Ferrari and Warner Bros parks.

How Much Are Dubai Family Holiday Packages?
For a family of four, Dubai family holiday packages from Nairobi cost KES 372,000 in a 3 star hotel and KES 424,000 in a 4 star. That is two adults at KES 104,000 or KES 120,000 each, plus two children at KES 82,000 or KES 92,000 each.
The prices include flights, the family room, tours and one theme park day. Visas are extra for every traveller. A family of five or six gets a custom quote, usually with two rooms. See the base trip at Dubai holiday packages from Nairobi.
Which Dubai Theme Park Is Best for Children?
It depends on age, so tell us how old your children are. We check current opening days and ticket types before booking.
- Ages 2 to 6: Lego themed rides, a kids city and the Dubai Aquarium at the mall
- Ages 7 to 12: a big ride park with indoor zones, plus a water park in the afternoon
- Teens: coasters, a large water park or indoor skiing
- Adults who want a rest: the beach club or pool while kids play
Child Prices, Visas and Travel Papers
Airlines usually charge child fares for ages 2 to 11 and a small infant fare under 2. Hotels often let young children share a room with parents at a lower rate, but rules vary. We confirm the age bands in writing.
Each child needs their own passport and UAE visa. Dubai family holiday packages from Nairobi include help with each application. If one parent travels alone, carry a consent letter and the birth certificates, since airlines sometimes ask. We confirm the current rule when you book.
Is Dubai Good for a Family Trip in August or December?
August is very hot, often above 40 degrees, so we plan indoor parks, malls and pool time. It is also cheaper, though flights rise with school holiday demand. December is mild at 24 to 26 degrees and better for outdoor days, but prices climb from 20 December.
April school holidays are a good middle option, warm and less crowded. Look at the Dubai New Year and December packages for peak pricing.
Hotels for Families
Choose a hotel with a family room or connecting rooms, a kids pool and a breakfast buffet that children like. We pick places near the metro or a mall, so you can reach air conditioned fun in minutes.
Four star hotels near the Marina or Downtown have bigger pools and play areas. Three star options in Bur Dubai are cheaper and have smaller pools. All sit near shops and restaurants where you can buy snacks and water.
Flights and Getting Around
Flydubai, Emirates and Kenya Airways fly Nairobi to Dubai in about 5 hours 30 minutes. Dubai is one hour ahead of Nairobi. We choose daytime flights when we can and request seats together.
The metro is cheap and safe. Family tours use a private van with child seats on request. Taxis fit four people and give kids a ride with air conditioning.
Costs on the Ground and What to Pack
Plan KES 20,000 to 35,000 per adult for lunches, dinners and extras and less for children. A kids meal costs AED 25 to 40. Pack swimsuits, hats, sunscreen, light clothes and a jumper for cold shops.
Bring snacks and any medicines in original packs. Bring a UK style adapter and a power bank. Dubai has pharmacies on every block, but familiar brands help sick days.
Instalments and Booking for Dubai Family Holiday Packages
Pay a deposit to hold seats, then clear the balance in instalments before you travel. Pay with Mpesa, bank or card at book and pay. Fares for school holidays rise early, so book three to four months ahead.

Family Rooms and Meal Plans in Dubai Family Holiday Packages
Space matters more than stars when you travel with children. In our Dubai family holiday packages we book a true family room or two connecting rooms, never two adults and two kids squeezed into one double. Cots for babies are free in most hotels but must be requested early.
Breakfast is included. Lunch and dinner are not, which keeps Dubai family holiday packages flexible for fussy eaters. Food courts in the malls sell pizza, rice dishes and noodles at fair prices. If you prefer fixed meals, ask us to quote half board at a hotel that serves a kids menu.
A Day Rhythm That Works for Children
Dubai is hot for most of the year, so plan outdoor fun early and indoor fun at midday. A good rhythm is a pool or park morning, a long lunch inside, a nap or quiet hour and a short evening out. Dubai family holiday packages from Nairobi work best when you leave room for rest.
Children aged 2 to 6 tire quickly in queues, so we book timed park entry where possible. Older children cope with longer days. Pack a small backpack for each child with water, a hat and one favourite snack. A cheap folding fan helps in the desert queue.
Travel Insurance and Health Cover for Families
Insurance is not included in Dubai family holiday packages and we strongly advise you to buy it. Hospital visits in Dubai are paid upfront and cost far more than in Nairobi. Read our guide to Kenya travel insurance and AMREF cover and ask your insurer about child cover and pre existing conditions.
Carry a short medical note for any child with allergies or regular medicine. Keep medicines in original packs. Pharmacies in Dubai are easy to find and open late.
Add Another Stop to Your Dubai Family Holiday Packages
If you have an extra two or three days, consider a day trip to Abu Dhabi. Kids enjoy the Ferrari and Warner Bros parks there. See our Dubai and Abu Dhabi packages for the plan and the price.
Families who want a beach week can end their Dubai family holiday packages in Zanzibar or Mauritius. Look at our Zanzibar all inclusive packages or our Mauritius holiday packages to compare costs.
