At Dubai Parks and Resorts, guests can see new adventures around every corner. All the fun attractions in one area can make a day go from being sunny and active to being wet and laid-back. That’s why you should focus on packing smart, instead of packing too much. You want to feel at ease, be safe and be prepared for all kinds of situations. A well-prepared bag will help you avoid stress, save you time and allow you to focus on enjoying your day. In this guide, we’ll show you what to bring so you can experience all Dubai Parks and Resorts has to offer. 

Here are some of the things to pack for a day at Dubai Parks and Resorts. 

1. Wear Clothes That Are Comfortable and Respectful 

Summers in Dubai can be very hot, with temperatures going well above 40°C (104°F). Cotton or linen should be your choice of material to avoid feeling hot. Wear clothes that cover your shoulders and knees, in order to fit in with local customs and feel comfortable inside cool buildings. If you’re going to LEGOLAND® Water Park, remember to bring the right swimming clothes. Although swimwear is allowed in water parks, it’s smart to have a cover-up or other clothing for when you move around the resort. 

2. Choose footwear that is comfortable above all else. 

You will be walking a lot from morning to night. Choose shoes with good padding such as sneakers or sandals, for your feet. Don’t wear high heels or shoes you haven’t worn before, as they might hurt your feet.  

3. Keep Your Skin Safe from Sunlight 

The sun in the UAE is very powerful. Essential things you should bring are: 

• Sunblock: Get a sunscreen that offers great protection against UVA and UVB. Apply again every two hours, particularly after you’ve been on a water ride. 
• Hat: A big-brimmed hat or cap to cover your neck and face. 
• UV-protective sunglasses are necessary to keep your eyes safe from the sun. 

They are important to have to protect yourself from sunburn and heat discomfort.  

4. Proper hydration is important for your body. 

Bring your own water bottle, since you’ll find places to refill it as you go. Drinking water frequently throughout the day stops you from becoming dehydrated, especially when it’s very hot.  

5. Eating in Between Meals 

Even though you have many dining options at Dubai Parks and Resorts, it’s useful to pack some light snacks, especially for children. Baby food and special dietary needs are the only exceptions to the rule of no outside food being allowed.  

6. Essential Accessories 

A backpack or tote can help you bring your important items easily. 

Wet Wipes and Hand Sanitizer are great for cleaning on the go and keeping yourself clean. 

A power bank: So your devices don’t run out of battery while you’re traveling. 

Put in band-aids, antiseptic wipes and any drugs you might need while traveling. 

7. You must show your ticket and identification. 

Remember to carry your tickets, whether they are printed or on your phone and a valid ID. If you have these at hand, it’s easier to enter and go through any required checks. 

8. Making a Plan for Your Offspring 

Should you be coming with children: 

• Strollers can be rented, though it’s usually easier to bring your own. 
• Consider giving your young children ID bracelets that have their contact information. 
• During delays, a small toy or book can entertain your children. 
• When children are playing at crowded spots or near water, make sure you supervise them closely. 

9. Weather Considerations 

The weather in Dubai is sometimes hard to predict. Although it rarely rains, it’s best to see what the forecast says and get prepared. Strong air conditioning inside may mean you’ll need a light jacket during the cooler months. 

10. Cultural Sensitivity 

While Dubai is multicultural, it’s necessary to respect the local way of life. Keep your clothing simple, do not show affection openly and respect the regulations of the country.
