Mother’s love is one of the purest in the world. So, someone as pure as our precious mothers deserve all the shower of love! While every day is Mother’s Day, duh, as she doesn’t stop being our mother on any other day, there is one day dedicated to her. We’re talking about the occasion of Mother’s Day, which falls on March 21, a Tuesday, this year. This concept was introduced in 1956 by the journalist Mustafa Amin, in Egypt. And since then, most of the Arab world has adopted this practice!

However, it’s also worth mentioning that Mother’s Day in other countries is going to be celebrated on Sunday, May 14. So, to ensure you give a fantastic surprise to your mom, we’ve made a list. Yes, we’ve rounded up a list of six interesting and unique things to do in Dubai with your mother. Go ahead and plan that surprise RIGHT NOW (but after scrolling through)!

Things To Do In Dubai This Mother’s Day

1. Take Your Mom For A Fun-Filled Desert Safari

Dubai is known for its exhilarating desert safaris. If your mother loves indulging in such adventurous outdoor activities, then this is definitely something you should book for her for Mother’s Day. Not to mention, a desert safari doesn’t just include a 4×4 ride in the sand dunes of Dubai, but may also include live barbeque, a buffet dinner, dance performances, live fire shows, and even a camel ride. While there are many organisers offering a slew of exciting desert safari packages, we’d certainly suggest making your bookings in advance.

2. Relive Your Memories By Taking A Stroll At The Underwater Zoo

Did you also love to visit zoological parks with your mother? Or is that something still on your bucket list? Well, you can relive all those sweet memories and even make new ones with your precious mom, during a visit to the underwater zoo in Dubai. Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo is one of the most popular attractions at Dubai Mall. Did you know it houses over 33,000 underwater animals spanning over 200 diverse species?
