Summer break in Dubai means finding ways to keep kids entertained without breaking the bank. The Mohammed Bin Rashid Library has got you covered with a two-week camp running August 3 to 15. Kids from 5 to 12 can join, and it happens every afternoon and evening from 3 to 8 PM at their Al Jaddaf spot. Best part? It’s basically free, except for a handful of activities that might run you up to AED 40. Just walk in and get them signed up.
The schedule mixes different types of activities so kids aren’t doing the same thing all day. You’ve got creative stuff, physical activities, and hands-on building projects.
Every day has a Creative Skills Corner where kids spend 30 minutes making things. They do art projects, string beads into bracelets, and plant flowers in pots. Whatever they create, they take home. Kids like having something tangible to show for their time.
Movement and wellness sessions happen too, run by Generation Yogis. These 45-minute blocks teach kids about breathing, mindfulness, and managing their emotions. It’s practical stuff they can actually use, not just theory.
There’s also a Lego building area. Kids can access tons of official Lego sets and get help from people who actually know what they’re doing. Building improves coordination and gets them thinking about how things fit together.
Throughout the two weeks, special themed days show up. Dino Discovery Day, Under The Sea Discovery Day, that sort of thing. Games and treasure hunts keep things interesting too.
Ages 5 through 12. That’s the sweet spot where the activities make sense for the kids involved.
The timing works well if you’re juggling work or other stuff during the day. Three to eight in the evening gives you flexibility. Location-wise, Al Jaddaf is pretty central for Dubai families.
No complicated process here. Go to the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library at Al Jaddaf between 3 and 8 PM and register on the spot. That’s it. Walk-ins are happening right now.
Fair warning: spots depend on what materials and vendors they’ve got available. Showing up sooner rather than later makes sense if you want to lock in a spot.
If you’re thinking about schools for the fall, take a look at Dubai’s Outstanding Schools for 2026. Also worth checking out is the Sharjah School Calendar 2026-2027 if you’re based that way.
Everything’s free except for a few optional activities. Those premium add-ons top out at AED 40 each. So you’re spending almost nothing to keep your kids busy and learning for two weeks.
