Group Description
Join conversations with travelers with disabilities and welcoming locals, sharing tips on accessible hotels, wheelchair-friendly attractions, and transportation in the United Arab Emirates. From Dubai’s Burj Khalifa and Palm Jumeirah to Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, and the desert dunes of Liwa, whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, this is the place to ask about accommodations, getting around, or inclusive activities in the UAE – someone here has likely experienced it before. You’ll find personal stories, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, historical, and outdoor experiences. This group supports mobility aid users, along with travelers who have sensory sensitivities, low vision, or hearing impairments, helping you enjoy a more accessible United Arab Emirates adventure.
Reply To: Pool hoists
Hey Kris,
I’ve never been to Dubai personally, but I’ve just spent an ungodly amount of time looking through photographs from various hotels in the hopes of spotting a pool hoist! Unfortunately, I couldn’t find one. HOWEVER, I do believe it must exist. My recommendation would be to contact a bunch of the ‘chain hotels’ and let them know about your needs. I am certain at least a handful would either confirm that they have a hoist avialable, or offer to hire one for the duration of your stay.
Sorry I was unable to be more specific with my recommendation at this stage. Will continue to ask around!
Cheers,
Anthony
