Although the thermometer often climbs above 40°C, Dubai offers many ways to enjoy your holiday even in the summer months.
Climate and temperatures
Dubai's summer lasts from June to September, when temperatures regularly reach 40-45°C and sometimes even higher. The humidity can also be very high, making the temperature feel even higher. It is therefore important to prepare for extreme heat.
Activities in interiors
Shopping Malls: Dubai is famous for its luxury shopping malls such as Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates. In addition to shopping, you'll find aquariums, ice rinks, gaming centres and even the Ski Dubai ski slope.
Museums and Galleries: Visit the Dubai Museum at Al Fahidi Fortress or the modern art gallery on Alserkal Avenue. For history and culture lovers, the Etihad Museum, which traces the history of the United Arab Emirates, is also of interest.
Waterparks and Theme Parks.
Beaches and water activities
If you decide to visit the beach, choose a time in the early morning or late afternoon when the temperatures are not so high. Many beaches and pools offer shade and cool water to help you beat the heat. Water sports such as snorkelling, diving or water skiing are also a great way to cool off.
Food and drink
Dubai offers a wide range of restaurants with air-conditioned rooms where you can enjoy both local and international cuisine. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and avoid excessive sun exposure. Try traditional Arab cuisine such as hummus, falafel or shawarma, as well as upmarket restaurants with Michelin stars.
Accommodation
Many hotels in Dubai offer summer discounts so you can experience a luxury stay at an affordable price. Hotels often have private pools, spas and air-conditioned rooms, allowing you to enjoy your holiday in comfort.
Enjoy your holiday
Despite the extreme summer temperatures, Dubai has a lot to offer even in this season. With modern infrastructure, air-conditioned facilities and a host of indoor activities, it's possible to enjoy your holiday in Dubai to the full. Just be prepared for the hot weather and take advantage of all the opportunities this fascinating city has to offer.
