Hello to all my pinelli!

You surely noticed that I celebrated my birthday in a very special way…. a mini vacation in Dubai with Paolo and Mia!!! Four days of pure relax and lots of fun for my snipulina; I decided to share many photos with you and especially give some suggestions to those of you who would like to have a vacation with their children in this huge entertainment centre that is only 5 hours flight away from Italy!

I stayed in a really wonderful hotel,the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach: elegant, refined, with delicious food and an amazing beauty spa! Mia had so much fun… they left lots of presents for her and a toy pool with her name on it! But now, let’s have a look at all the activities available in Dubai if you go with your children:

First of all, I have to say that it was easier for me to choose what to do, since I have a dear friend that stays there for many months of the year: her name is Michela. She gave birth to a wonderful baby girl (who’s name is Mia!) a few months ago, and she told me many places where I could go to!

I definitely need to to tell you about the fantastic aquatic park that you can find inside the famous Atlantis hotel, a real aquarium where it is possible to swim next to dolphins: me and Mia had a bath together with a sweet dolphin named Jasmine……. Mia desperately wanted to stay, but I have to admit that I loved it too!

Miracle Garden Dubai: a magical garden where you can find more than 70 species of flowers and a butterfly museum…. think about its colours and how much children would love it.

Legoland: a theme park suitable for adults and little ones, to spend an unforgettable day made of Legos while playing with water games and much more… simply magnificent!

Wild Wadi: in front of the famous Burj Al Arab hotel, you have the oldest and most complete aquatic park of Dubai. It has various attractions such as slides, tunnels and lots of water games that will surely refresh your hot days spent in the desert.

Kidzania: you can find this park inside the Dubai mall; kids and their parents have the chance to practice a series of activities and role games where kids will find out the parent’s life.

Bounce: this is a small requalified warehouse, where kids and adults can have fun while jumping on fantastic trampolines. The staff is very gentle and prepared, and they are able to host kids 8 years old and older even without their parents, letting them practice jumps and all types of manoeuvres that will guarantee that they will need to rest at the end of the day.

My Gym: A dedicated fitness center, where all kids (from 6 weeks to 4-5 years of age) can participate to psycho motor activities that help their physical and mental development.

And last but not least, the Ski Dubai (inside the Dubai Mall), the first covered ski slope in the Middle East. There are more than 5 different pistes, from amateur level to black slope (the most difficult one), in addition to a freestyle area for snowboarders and little sledge lovers. Inside the snow park fun is guaranteed for the whole family, thanks to its snow caverns, sledge slopes and areas for dinghies. The alpine style bar is the perfect place to enjoy a hot chocolate at -4°C or to admire the daily walk of the penguin colony.

A big kiss, my Pinelli and Pinelle!
