Dubai, Mar 14: Several attractions and hospitality businesses in Dubai have announced free entry and special discounts for residents and visitors as tensions continue in the Gulf region following the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran. The initiatives aim to help families relax and spend quality time together during the early school spring break.

With schools starting their holidays earlier than usual, many residents are looking for ways to keep children engaged. In response, the city’s tourism and entertainment sector has introduced a range of offers designed to provide affordable leisure activities during a stressful period.

Free Access at Atlantis Attractions
One of the biggest offers comes from Atlantis The Palm, which has opened two of its major attractions to visitors for free for a limited time. Guests can enjoy complimentary entry to Aquaventure Waterpark and The Lost Chambers Aquarium between March 10 and March 22.

Visitors can claim up to four free tickets per booking through advance online reservations. Normally, a standard entry ticket costs around AED 175. According to the organisers, the initiative is intended to help residents and visitors unwind and spend time together at one of the world’s largest waterparks.
