Hello,
We are planning for a dubai trip in september (mid) along with our extended family of around 16 members to celebrate my nephews (infant) birthday. (5x30 year olds, 10x60 year olds, 2x 3 year olds, 1xinfant).
Need help with following options (with consideration of as less walking as possible considering the elderly)
1. Maximizing the credit cards for benefits by booking everything individually (me and my cousin) due to availability of time
2. Booking via travel agent/makemytrip etc.,
What are the pros and cons and what are your suggestions regarding the itenerary, local travel, vegetarian food, etc.,

My Cousin and I have the following cards
1. amex plat travel each
2. Indusind easy diner
3. amazon pay ICICI cards as of now.
My cousin can get axis atlas (if need be)
 
1) May either use Amex plat travel till 4L on each cards or apply for atlas and use axis edge portal to book the time

2) If you have the time, read from MMT regarding their package, get the details, make your own itinerary and make all the bookings directly. Once in Dubai, you may hire a traveller for rent.

3) If no headache needed, opt for package. Appx expense that might come extra would be around 2L, when package opted. Also, with that package, you might be made to rush from places to places, to stick to schedule.

Thanks for the help. Can you please explain more on hiring a traveller part.. we may need atleast 3 cars for going anywhere together right. Hence how to book. Any recommendations?

There are 6-7 seaters car available, depending on whether you prefer to drive self or to have a chauffeur.... Without a chauffeur, you can have a car in the range of 2-4k INR per day
(No 1st hand experience, just did a search for you now... This would have been my way). If you need a chauffeur, you can book it via an agency, freely available on net.. just search.. Car rental with driver on internet.. It is a bit effortful.. But then, it will be your rules, and flexibility.. not any travel agencies'
 
Booking travel tickets - if you are into miles, get atlas card.. High value back.. if you just need vouchers or reward points, then go with amex plat... Slightly less rewarding than atlas.. still good
