We’ve been living in Dubai for three years now – that’s three whole winters of trying to get our little ones outside as much as possible (without losing our minds in the process). If there’s onething I’ve learned along the way, it’s this: snacks are never optional, and a spare change of clothes is always essential.
At Beaux Desert, we know firsthand what it’s like to have two kids under 4 who love running wild in the great outdoors. If you’re anything like us – trying to enjoy nature, make the most of Dubai’s cooler months, and avoid spending a fortune – we’ve put together a list of our favourite family-friendly outdoor spots in the city.
Kite Beach – Biking, Beaches & Sunset Pizza
This is hands-down one of our favourite places to spend a morning or late afternoon. We love starting the day with a bike ride in our cargo bike, cruising along the flat beachside path, and ending with sunset pizza by the sea at Umm Suqeim Night Swimming Beach.
What we love about Kite Beach:
- The flat bike track runs right alongside the beach, offering stunning views the whole way.
- As the sun sets, our kids fly kites, chase pigeons, dig in the sand, and splash in the sea – total freedom!
Top food stops along the way:
- Arabian Teahouse – A must for Arabic breakfasts and generous kids’ pla7ers.
- HALM Collective – For a refreshing açaí smoothie or iced matcha.
- Common Grounds – Their breakfast wraps and kids’ açaí bowls are delicious and great value.
Beaux Desert Must-Haves for a Beach Day
To make family outings smoother (fewer meltdowns), here are a few essentials from Beaux Desert, part of our Organic Cotton Clothing UAE collection:
Organic Cotton Hooded Towels
Perfect for salty, sandy, tired little ones who don’t want to get changed but can’t stay in wet clothes. These organic hooded towels are easy to throw on post-swim and get them straight into the car or cargo bike without fuss.
Matching Organic Cotton Sets
Ideal for scooting or biking along the promenade. Plus, matching family loungewear = easier to spot siblings in a crowd (mum hack unlocked ✅). Explore our full family matching collection for coordinated comfort.
Cotton Muslin Blankets
The ultimate multitaskers during winter. These cotton muslin blankets can:
- Keep kids warm on cool mornings
- Wipe salty eyes or sandy hands
- Cover (parked) car or bike seats
- Double as towels or picnic rugs
- Save the day when you forget wipes (yes, it happens!)
Desert Mornings in Al Qudra – Sunrise, Camels & Karak
Every Saturday morning, we pile into the car (usually still half-asleep), and head out to the Al Qudra desert to catch the sunrise. It’s one of the most magical experiences for both kids and adults.
We bring carrots for the camels, hot karak for us, and plenty of warm layers. The kids run wild, hunting for animal tracks in the sand, and our dog (also named Karak)? It’s definitely his happy place.
Why we love desert mornings:
- The fresh air, the freedom, and the silence – except for the occasional dune basher zooming past.
- Feeding camels by hand is always a hit – bring carrots!
- The sunrise is stunning – golden skies, cool sand, and endless space to roam.

What Three Years of Dubai Weekends Have Taught Us
After countless weekends out with little ones in Dubai’s unique climate, and plenty of trial and error with clothing, here’s what we’ve truly learned:
✔ Natural fabrics win – Organic cotton, bamboo, and linen outperform synthetics every time in the Dubai heat.
✔ Light colours are practical – They reflect heat and hide stains better than you’d think.
✔ Quality beats quantity – Durable pieces from our organic clothing UAE collection last longer and look better.
✔ Comfort = better adventures – Soft, moveable clothing means kids play more and complain less.
Why We Care So Much About What Kids Wear
At Beaux Desert, we don’t just make organic baby clothes Dubai families love – we test every item with our own kids in real Dubai conditions.
- Our organic kidswear is made for climbing, digging, splashing, and napping.
- We use organic cotton and natural materials because they’re safer, softer, and don’t trap heat or odour.
- Our organic towels and family matching outfits are designed to survive both washing machines and wild toddlers.
Honest Observations from Our Family to Yours:
- High-quality pieces like our ribbed sleepsuit and organic cotton lounge set hold up beautifully – and often work across multiple children.
- Women matching sets and family collections make it easy to coordinate and capture cute moments without the stress.
- Our clothes crease less, stretch more, and feel better – even after endless cycles in the wash.
- Better basics mean fewer last-minute shopping runs (and fewer wardrobe meltdowns).
Thanks for joining us on this journey through some of Dubai’s best family-friendly outdoor spots!
We hope our tips, favourite places, and tried-and-tested organic clothing UAE essentials help you plan your own weekend adventures – from splash pads and camels to kites and karak.
