Let’s fast forward to the end of this month. School’s out, it’s furnace-level hot outside, and you’ve got no idea how to keep the little ones engaged for… OH MY GOSH… two months of summer holidays? Enter AURA Skypool’s brand-new Family Night Swim. Yes, it’s a thing. And yes, it’s happening midweek. Because whoever said weekends were enough clearly didn’t have kids.
This is the first time AURA – yes, the WORLD’S HIGHEST 360° infinity pool – is letting the littlies in. From July through September, every Wednesday from 8 PM to 10 PM, parents and kids (6 years and above) can take a dip, have a nibble, and soak in the skyline without worrying about bedtime. Or at least, not too much.

A Pool With The Best View – That’s Aura Skypool
For AED 225 per adult, you get your usual night swim ticket. But here’s the glorious bit. One child gets in absolutely free with every paying grown-up. (Insert applause.) Got more than one? Bless you. Bring them too, they’ll just need their own ticket. There’s a special kids’ menu, because we all know asking a 6-year-old to share your poke bowl never ends well. Think comfort food, AURA-style. Bonus: you don’t have to clean anything afterwards.
And because you’ll be busy wrangling pool noodles and doing that ‘mum panic hand’ every time your child gets within five feet of the pool edge, the AURAGRAM team will be around to capture those “aww!” moments for you. It’s like having a glam family album without the awkward beach selfies.

But Let’s Keep It Cute, Not Chaos
If your little darlings think this is Wild Wadi in the sky, it’s best to gently lower expectations. No running, cannonballs or competitive splashing. It’s more “chic city dip” than “screaming water park”.
Leave the inflatables at home, armbands only, thank you very much, and don’t smuggle in snacks unless you want to see a lifeguard look genuinely disappointed in you. Food and drinks are on-site and charged separately, but honestly, you won’t be in the mood to pack cheese sandwiches at 7 PM anyway.
