Is a 6 or 7 hour stop enough time to do anything?

With the recent changes in Israel, are the crowds thinning out at all? Or still packed?

Also, are there daily minyanim for mincha/maariv as well?

Thanks.

When is your conference?

Looks like Arieh Wagner is running a kosher program in Habtoor Palace from end December with a kosher coffee shop...

If anyone wants to know -
Eli Wagner Program is here with kosher food and a minyan for all Tefillos.
I think he even extended his program another week.

That explains why you don’t respond to my VN.

We just finished 5 days here with 3 kids.
For food we were at the Wagner program.

Our itinerary is below:
Friday:
Dubai mall
Kidszania

Motzei shabbos:
Water show at Dubai mall

Sunday:
LEGO land
Swimming in hotel

Monday:
Mall of emirates - snow activities
Swimming in hotel
Global village at night

Tuesday:
Habtoor grand - beach at marina (There were camels at the beach if anyone can’t make it to desert like us:)
Dubai Yellow Boats (thanks @Dan) - 5pm sunset tour


Wednesday:
Swimming at hotel
Miracle garden

We missed some spots I would have liked to just take a pic at cause you must, but that’s how it is with kids I guess. (If only I had another 3 days:)

Overall, it was a great trip even with the kids, we all enjoyed it and I would highly recommend all the above places.
And btw @Dan we just spotted a RR with an “8” license plate
