Dubai itinerary: source-backed planning notes
This Dubai plan uses official visitor information as planning evidence, not as an availability or endorsement promise. Check the official site before you go.
- Visit Dubai (the official city tourism site) helps frame neighbourhoods, beaches, transport and family activities before building the route; verify the exact operator, stroller rules and weather cover.
- Museum of the Future publishes current visitor and ticket information; use it as the iconic indoor anchor check for age fit, timed entry, sensory load and child tickets.
- Dubai Parks and Resorts publishes current park, ticket and ride information; use it as the outdoor/theme-park anchor check for heat, shade, water, height rules and crowd planning.
