Family Brunches is a staple in life with kids here in Dubai. It’s one fun thing to do – where mum and dad get to eat and drink and hopefully have a conversation with their friends, whilst kids are entertained. Some go so far as to have pool and beach access, or even kid’s club access!
Here’s a listing, of the various family brunches in and around Dubai. Hopefully this will make your weekends a little easier, and more fun.
