6. Extreme Heat
Dubai isn’t just hot; it’s “fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk” hot. With summer temperatures that can soar above 110°F (43°C), this city can feel like you’ve stepped into a sauna that someone forgot to turn off. But hey, it’s not all bad! The extreme heat is the perfect excuse to go hang out in the Chillout Ice Lounge, where the walls are literally made of ice. Here, in the heart of downtown Dubai, you’ll find a haven that’s six-below-zero, offering a shocking but delightful contrast to the blistering heat outside. And don’t worry, they’ve got you covered—cozy parkas and hats are provided at the door! Yep, you can literally go from desert to winter wonderland in a matter of seconds.
And while you might think the heat slows life down, think again! Dubai is buzzing with year-round outdoor activities tailored for the heat, from night golfing to desert safaris at dusk. Plus, let’s not forget the city’s incredible water parks and luxurious beach clubs, designed as the ultimate chill-out zones to beat the unforgiving sun. After all, if life gives you a desert, why not make an oasis?
