How to Survive Summer in Dubai: A Practical Guide For Tourists

Useful tips on adapting to the heat, choosing entertainment, and understanding the nuances of summer vacations in Dubai

In the first half of the year, Dubai welcomed a record number of international tourists: 9.31 million visitors, which is 9% more compared to the first half of 2023, when 8.55 million people visited the city. 

And what about Russia? In the first half of the year, Russians made 730,400 trips to the UAE compared to 678,400 trips last year. Despite the heat, Russians continue to choose Dubai in the summer, although this year operators are also recording attractive offers from several other countries. 

Thus, Russian statistics confirm Dubai's— the popularity of the UAE has increased by the same 9%. During the summer, Dubai offers discount programs for shopping, accommodation, and entertainment.

• Choose the right time for activities: In summer, temperatures in Dubai can reach 45°C and above, so plan your activities for early morning or late evening when the heat subsides.

• Seek shelter from the sun: Take advantage of the many shopping malls, indoor water parks, and other air-conditioned venues to avoid the scorching sun.

• Wear appropriate clothing: Opt for light, loose-fitting clothes made of natural materials like cotton or linen. Don’t forget a hat and sunglasses.

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine, as they contribute to dehydration. Always carry a water bottle with you.

• Use sunscreen: Apply sunscreen with a high SPF to all exposed skin every two hours.

• Be cautious with air conditioners: Don’t overuse air conditioners, as sudden temperature changes can negatively affect your health.
