dubai is good for tourists. for kids there is waterparks, parks and lots of activities going on either during the shopping festival or summer surprises promotions that dubai holds. for nightlife it is good, although the drinking age is 21 and all bars and restaurants that serve alcohol are in hotels. people there are nice, friendly and more than willing to help you get out and about. at the moments though dubai is a bit of a construction site so beware and dont be sshocked when you get there
