We saw on the news this morning a new Palm hotel has started inviting children with disabilities to use their facilities for free... And it got us thinking, if any of you have a family member who has a disability who lives with you here in Dubai, do you feel there is enough to do for them to enjoy? Is Dubai disability-friendly? From walking on pavements, to access to buildings or entertainment... Would you say Dubai is accessible for those with disabilities? It's great when establishments offer activities and things to do for people of different abilities, do we need to see more of it in Dubai?

We'd love to hear your thoughts!

I think Dubai has actually been doing a lot to include people with disabilities. From the Dubai Safari granting them free access to the park and beaches building path ways for wheelchairs. It seems to me that Dubai is doing a lot to include people with disabilities but I guess I won't really know unless I am in that position.
