A Dubai family exploring the world, one honest guide at a time.
Our Story
This Dubai family travel guide shares all our tips and experiences for making the most of your visit as a family.Who is EscapeXpress?
EscapeXpress is a family travel blog based in Dubai. We’re a family who believes that real adventure doesn’t require a luxury budget — just good planning, honest research, and the courage to book the ticket.
We started this blog because we couldn’t find travel guides that spoke to us — Dubai-based, budget-conscious, travelling with young children, and genuinely curious about off-the-beaten-path destinations. So we built one ourselves. In fact, every guide we publish exists because we needed it ourselves first.
What you will find here
Every guide on EscapeXpress comes from a trip we’ve actually taken as a family. That’s why we cover the real costs in AED, the visa process from the UAE, where we stayed, what the kids thought, and what we’d do differently next time. After all, the details that matter most are the ones other blogs skip.
