Unfortunately it was too long for our children, too exhausting and we could not use all the routes and attractions. The trip to Abu Dhabi took more than 2 hours, there you had to buy a Abu Dhabi pass. The safari I would not do so, driver super nice but after the dune ride almost 4h wait, we only got water no soft drinks. Soft drinks were only for eating. Burj Khalifa was awesome, Aquarium in Atlantis too.
I booked the 3 days Dubai city pass because Abu dhabi and the desert was included. However, they do not tell you that you will have to buy another hop on hop off ticket in order to get to know the city in Abu dhabi.
In addition, the desert experience is horrible. A falcon and camel experience is offered. However, there was one falcon with a guy, and he lets you hold it for one photo. No flying or display included. Same happened with the camel, just one and the riding experience is just 2 minutes, so just for the photo. The desert was awful, not a real desert ( I have been in Dubai to real deserts). You could see the plants growing and a horrible building while watching the sunset.
