FAQ: Dubai Adventure Awaits: 5 Days of Family Fun at Burj Khalifa & Amazing Attractions
Yes, 5 days is a great amount of time for a family trip to Dubai. You can visit the Burj Khalifa, enjoy a desert safari, and explore the Dubai Mall and still have time for a beach or water park visit without feeling rushed. Planning your days by area helps keep travel time between attractions to a minimum.
Absolutely. The Burj Khalifa is one of the most memorable experiences for families visiting Dubai, and children of all ages are welcome. The At the Top observation deck on levels 124 and 125 offers breathtaking views of the city and desert, and most kids find the high-speed elevator ride just as exciting as the view itself.
The best time for a family holiday to Dubai is between November and March, when temperatures are comfortable for outdoor sightseeing, between 20°C and 28°C. The summers in Dubai are extremely hot, so if you’re travelling outside the cooler months, plan indoor activities and outdoor adventures for the early morning or evening.
Many of Dubai’s top attractions cater well to young children. The Dubai Aquarium, KidZania, Legoland Dubai, and the Dubai Fountain are all family-friendly and accessible for toddlers.
Even the Burj Khalifa visit works well with little ones, as the experience is relatively short and the views keep children engaged. Pushchair access is widely available across major attractions and shopping malls.
A 5-day family trip to Dubai’s key attractions can vary depending on your wishes, but as a rough guide, budget around £150 to £250 per day for a family of four, including entrance fees, meals, and local transport. The attractions like the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Frame, and Aquarium each have separate entry costs.
UK families travelling to Dubai benefit from visa-on-arrival access, meaning no advance visa application is required for most British passport holders. You’ll receive a free 30-day visit visa on arrival at Dubai International Airport. If your family includes travelling on non-UK passports, it’s worth checking individual eligibility in advance, as entry requirements differ by nationality.
