One of the great things about the UAE is that there are endless options of things to do with the family. When we come around to summer time, however, those options tend to narrow down (especially outdoor activities) and it can be tricky to keep the kids busy without breaking the bank. So to help you save a bit this holiday, we have gathered some fun things to do in the UAE for just AED 50 or less. Do keep in mind that some venues have limited capacity, age restrictions or temporarily unavailable activities. Make sure to call ahead to check for availability to avoid disappointment.
