Summer Calls For A Family Vacation Are You Ready?
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 08 - 08 - 2015

For Saudis a period during which Eid and summer clash, is the perfect time for families to take some time off together.
Dubai is one of the favorite choices, followed closely by Turkey, Egypt, London and several parts of Europe during this time of the year.
But the only commonality that exists is that no matter where, summer is about being with the family. So if your destination this year is Dubai, then indulge in the ‘Family Fun' package at The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai International Financial Centre.
Be it hotel apartments or suites; add adventure and a twist to your family vacation. Have the kids pitch a tent in your luxurious hotel rooms or enjoy a complimentary personal shopping experience.
Just minutes away from every Saudi's favorite mall, the hotel offers a complementary transfer to Dubai mall, the dancing fountains, Modhesh World and Burj Khalifa.
Families will also receive complimentary tickets to Modhesh World, the indoor theme park at Dubai World Trade Centre, as well as a chance to meet Modhesh, the funny yellow icon himself.
Modhesh will also make two exclusive appearances at The Ritz-Carlton, DIFC throughout the summer. The hotel package offers guests the chance to reserve a three nights' hotel stay when paying for two nights with the option of a connecting room and suite for those traveling with young children.
Women will love the complimentary shopping vouchers and a personal shopping experience at Galeries Lafayette, Dubai Mall.
For large Saudi families looking for luxury apartment accommodation, they can also avail the offer and get a complimentary night by paying for just three for the Executive Residences.
Talking about catering specifically to Saudi families, Lothar E. Quarz, the general manager at Ritz Carlton, DIFC, said accommodation details, family offers and even gym timings are designed to suit their needs.
Saudi women also have the choice to indulge in ladies-only gym sessions. “The hotel is equipped with The Ritz-Carlton Spa, a hair salon and one of the two gyms provides ladies-only sessions for maximum privacy, every day between 3pm and 6pm.”
He added that larger Saudi families who prefer luxury apartment accommodation can choose to stay for four nights and pay for just three in the Executive Residences, in a luxury one, two or three bedroom apartment, and avail the same ‘Family Fun' package benefits.”
So what is different this summer and why should families choose The Ritz-Carlton, DIFC? “As well as all of the benefits of the Family Fun package, The Ritz-Carlton, DIFC is ideally located to explore the city of Dubai.
The only luxury hotel located in DIFC, home to Dubai's best restaurants and art galleries, and just minutes from many of Dubai's key attractions, including Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa, yet far enough away from the tourist crowds of Downtown, providing the perfect balance between being near to the action, but in a relaxing, luxury environment.
Guests of course also benefit from the legendary Ritz-Carlton service, where the ladies and gentlemen are committed to creating memories for guests, that last well beyond their stay,” Quarz added.
‘Family Fun' package includes:
• Complimentary shuttle service to Dubai Mall (located minutes away from the hotel)
• Complimentary Internet usage in guest room
• Get AED 1,500 worth of vouchers at Galeries Lafayette at Dubai Mall with a personal shopping session and a mini makeover.
Exclusive offers for children
• Complimentary accommodation for two children per room (under 12 years), with the additional option of a teepee tent complete with Ritz-Carlton linens, designed to capture the imagination of any young explorer.
• Complimentary tickets for children's attraction Modhesh World (until 29th Aug only), along with an exclusive meet and greet experience with Modhesh.
• Ritz Kids check-in and welcome amenities including children's activities and a daily ice cream pass for up to two children up to age 12
The ‘Family Fun' packages are available from 15 May to 15 September 2015.
