Quick Answer

Yes. With a qualifying Royalty Tourism Abu Dhabi and Dubai family package, children under 18 can get the UAE tourist visa fee waived.

However, families still need to pay the required travel insurance and government application or processing fee for each child. The offer applies when children travel with at least one full-paying adult on the same family itinerary.

In addition, our Dubai and Abu Dhabi team helps families plan their UAE holidays. We arrange visas, hotels, transfers, tours and attraction tickets. We also check the visa requirements for each traveller before you confirm your booking.
