Some people are just beyond dumb.
In the last week more people killed by Islamist in Austin than Dubai.

Travel has become a shitshow during the age of social media.
There was a time when parents with young kids understood that meant sacrificing exotic trips around the world and instead loading up the station wagon and driving to grandma's house or the closest beach condo. And that was IF you could afford it.
Now every nitwit sees heavily edited and staged social media posts of people vacationing all over the world and says "I want that too...now!" Kids, obligations and bank balances be damned.

I couldn't imagine a flight that long with a baby that small. You know it was crying non stop.

Bad timing for them. Definitely not traveling around the world much less going to Dubai with those little kids.

My wife and I were married for 5 years before we had kids. In those five years we traveled the world.
Now we don't mind taking the kids to Orange Beach or Pensacola every other summer, or camping in Texas, or other smallish trips with Disney thrown in every five years or so because we've done our traveling. We're in our young kids season and we're cool with that.
When we're 55 and the kids are out of the house, we'll lay our heads down at night and talk about going back to Hawaii or back to Europe or back to wherever instead of saying, "damn, I wish we could go to ___".
There's so much about life that you can't plan, but if you plan out the things you can control, you can make it a decent life.

On the other side I have taken my daughter tons of locations and she has been out of the country multiple times. I still get to enjoy the places and have just as much fun watching movies set in locations we have been and she recognizes them.
If you struggle when traveling adding kids to the equation won't help so I understand why some people choose not to. Having high maintenance kids doesn't help either.

Yep i'm not understanding why they would fly that far with 2 little kids.

Why the hell would you bring small kids….and a pregnant wife to this part of the world? I dint care if it’s Dubai or not. Too much down side. What a piss poor decision

A man, his pregnant wife, and two young kids are stuck on vacation in Dubai because of the war with Iran. I have no idea why anyone would want to make that trip with clearly very young kids. Would anyone here take their young family to the Middle East on vacation?
I would definitely work there for the right money. I would live there or vacation there as a single man. I wouldn’t take my wife and kids to any middle eastern country in 2026. Deep down they all(besides Israel) live by Islam which is a backwards religion. Why take the risk?

People all over the world, families included, go to Dubai for vacation. It's not exactly adventure travel unless a historic conflict breaks out.
I have heard good things about it, but that’s not the point. You can go almost anywhere in the world and you go to an oasis of freedom surrounded by Muslim radicals who won’t even give your probably feminist wife any freedoms? LOL, try pulling the feminist shite anywhere outside of Dubai.
