As Me & My Family’s mobile inflatable tent wraps up a successful two weeks in Al Aweer, preparations are being made to move the tent to Hatta at the end of the month. ‘Me & My Family’, an initiative under the direct supervision of HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, wife of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, continues to offer a variety of free recreational, sports and edutainment activities across the Emirate of Dubai during the hot summer months.
The mobile inflatable tent was first launched in Al Aweer on June 13th and has since proven to be a huge success among families and children living in the area. The tent will remain Al Aweer until June 27th after which it will travel to Hatta on June 30th. The fully equipped tent, which can accommodate up to 250 visitors at a time, will continue to provide fun and entertainment to children of all ages from 5pm to 11pm every day.
The mobile inflatable tent is home to various corners which will provide the utmost in entertainment to the whole family. Each of these corners encourage children to engage in physical activity and interact with one another, a main objective of the ‘Me & My Family’ initiative. For example, children will have the choice of the ‘Games Corner’, which includes activities such as slides, sports, skills games and bouncy castles; the ‘Stage Corner’ which offers younger children a mix of magic, cartoon and puppet shows; and the ‘Arts Corner’ where kids can enjoy face painting, sand painting, colouring and clay workshops. Guests to the tent can enjoy snacks and drinks at the ‘Food Corner’ and also have the opportunity to purchase exclusive ‘Me & My Family’ merchandise.
Throughout the summer, the mobile inflatable tent will travel to four different remote areas across Dubai. Now in Al Aweer and heading soon to Hatta, the tent will eventually move to Al Hebab and Al Lisaily in the coming weeks. The tent will remain in each location for 15 days.
‘Me & My Family’ is organized in cooperation with Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) and Dubai Municipality as strategic partners, and with the support of Dubai Civil Defence Department, Dubai Ambulance Services and Dubai Police.
