UAE: Families prepare differently before school starts after summer break – News

Families in the UAE prepare differently before their children return to school in two weeks.

Some are taking their last vacation; others are planning a vacation at home, and many are busy seeing the doctor or doing some final shopping before schools reopen on August 29.

As the two-month-long vacation draws to a close, most families are hoping for an unforgettable break with their loved ones before they start setting their alarms, with worries about the new school year flooding their minds.

Sindya Sundar said: “Before schools finally reopen, we are going on holiday to South Africa. This is something my husband has been planning closely. We are heading to the Garden Route along the 300km coastal road at the southwest tip of South Africa. The most beautiful part of the country. Then we’ll head to Port Elizabeth, where the kids will hopefully enjoy some penguin and whale watching.”

Then we will head to Addo Elephant National Park, a diverse wildlife conservation park. This is also done especially for kids who will enjoy more nature and wildlife. So, my family and I were really looking forward to the trail and seeing the dunes, forest and unspoilt coastline. Once schools reopen, it will be a maddening routine again. So we thought let’s make the most of the holidays.
