Welcome to Dubai Diary, the cosy corner of the internet where our family shares the rollercoaster ride of holidaying and living in Dubai.
Our love affair with Dubai began with a family holiday back in 2021, and since then, we’ve worked out it's where we want to be. Returning five times for more sun, fun, and a hint of business. These journeys have given us some of our most memorable experiences as a family, from belly laughs over camel rides gone awry to navigating the maze of relocation paperwork.
Here, you'll find everything from the essentials of travelling to Dubai, to the nitty-gritty of making it your new home. We cover the gamut - things you absolutely need to know before you pack your bags, the best family-friendly activities (and those perfect couple escapes), and all the critical details about visas, healthcare, and schooling for those contemplating a move.
