The small ones can enjoy a maze of slides, climbing frames and water shooters in gentle shallows dedicated for kids, while bigger visitors can thrill themselves on uphill water rollercoasters and exhilarating slews for the more adventures in your party, or a gently rolling lazy river for those who prefer to sit back on their giant inflatable ring.

Even after the sun is down, Dubai is still buzzing with life. You can enjoy some post sun downtime at the world’s largest shopping centres. As part of Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) and with over 6000 participating stores, you can get the best deals on various products and take advantage of the excellent discounts and activity incentives.

But DSS is not all about shopping! Modhesh World with its smiling yellow mascot is one massive entertainment space divided into different themed zones.

Now, if you are sold on a Dubai’s summer funveture bonanza, then it is rather important to choose the right place to stay! Dubai is a large city and most attractions stretches from north to south, and While it is highly accessible, a drive up and down the city streets can be both time consuming and sometimes costly. Therefore, choosing a centrally located and easily accessible hotel, central to all the summer attractions is what you need for your 2014 summer holiday in Dubai.
