Dolphins Summer Camp, Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana, Abu Dhabi. Most of the many hotel-based camps offer a range of water-based activities, but this one tops the list in terms of variety for kids between the ages of 5 and 12 – they offer banana boating, speedboat tours, kayaking, raft-building, fishing and junior lifeguards. And when happy campers have had enough of the heat, there’s also cooking, filming, photography, painting, orienteering, sports, street dance and ballet. Warning: school might seem extremely dull after this. Courtesy Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan -
