Dubai offers an ideal destination to live for families. This jewel of the middle east has so much to do in a vibrant city of endless opportunities. As a primary residence or second home, living in Dubai and Dubai Creek Harbour, in particular, is an excellent option for both parents and the little ones.
When researching where to live in Dubai, parents will wish to consider what the area will have to offer for their children to enjoy as well as the off-plan projects for investment in Dubai Creek Harbour. According to Emirates.Estate, here is a list of some of the key experiences in the Dubai Creek area or nearby to enrich the lives of children.
Kidzania makes learning fun for children. It is a mini city with real-life activities where children take on community roles and along the way learn about different jobs from real life. Children from 4-16 take experience work assignments from hospitals, fire stations, police, bank, radio and TV station, supermarkets, and restaurants as workers for the day. While doing so, they develop decision-making, teamwork, creativity and social skills in a fun and exciting way.
The Dubai Frame is a place to take the children to make memories. The largest frame in the world, this unique icon of the city is a 150-meter tall frame that, as a metaphor, opens to views of Dubai’s past from one side and looks to Dubai’s future from the other.
It is beyond a symbol and offers an observatory, museum, and monument. An elevator takes guests to 48 floors in 75 seconds to the top. From the sky deck, the entire family will enjoy panoramic views over the city.
The entire family will love the Dubai Dolphinarium where dolphins and seals perform live shows to thrill audiences. The performances showcase these talented animals’ skills as they dance, juggle, and jump through hoops. There are several interactive experiences offered as well as the Creek Park Bird Show, the only exotic bird show in the region.
A wonderful educational and entertaining experience for children and adults is a visit to the Dubai Museum. It is housed in the Al Fahidi Fort which is the oldest building in Dubai and dates back to 1787 and was once a sheikh’s fortified residence, weapons depot, and prison. Today it is a place to showcase Dubai’s rich history and heritage with exhibits of ancient Arab homes mosques, and souks as well as galleries showing everyday Bedouin life from the past. There are also exhibits depicting fishing industry and once lucrative pearl trade with artefacts as old as 3000 bc.
Last on this list is the Dubai Aquarium, one of the largest aquariums in the world. It is home to over 140 sea species, from ferocious sharks to the most vibrantly coloured fish. Today, it doubles as an underwater zoo with walls of glass that allow visitors to see inside this amazing world of aquatic life. It is as fascinating as it is beautiful for both parents and children.
The Dubai Creek Harbour offers a wide range of educational, enriching, and fun experiences for families. From its exceptional real estate offerings, a lively environment, a quality combination of outdoor activities, tourist sites, and a beautiful community. No matter the age group, from seniors, to middle-aged parents and their families, all can feel at home. The Dubai Creek Harbour is one of the most complete communities in Dubai for everyone.
