"But when you consider the fact that nearly 90 per cent of its population has resettled there from abroad, and that a vast chunk of that percentage has either moved there with the aim of improving their children's quality of life, or are sending the majority of their salaries back home to provide, it makes more sense. Family is the lifeblood of the emirate, and it's reflected, firstly, in the service."
"We've seen wait staff dance around restaurants trying to entertain our little one, experienced teams of doormen who remembered their name every day and restaurants that adapted menus to suit their young palate. It's also obvious in the way many Dubai hotels are designed, with adjoining rooms and imaginative water parks and kids' clubs. That's not to mention the year-round sunshine, which helps make everything easier - or the world-class air-conditioning and well-positioned shaded areas, for those more nervous of the hotter times."
Nearly 90 percent of Dubai's population has resettled from abroad, many moving to improve their children's quality of life or to send earnings home. Family priorities shape hospitality standards, with staff entertaining children, doormen remembering names and restaurants adapting menus for young palates. Hotel design emphasizes families through adjoining rooms, water parks and kids' clubs. Year-round sunshine, strong air-conditioning and shaded public spaces support outdoor activities. Key family attractions include desert safaris, public beaches, the Ain Dubai observation wheel, Dubai Parks and Resorts and IMG World of Adventures. Family hotels act as primary bases for visiting families and are supported by local parents.
