But I can assure you, Dubai offers ultimate opportunities of leisure and entertainment activities even during hot summers for people of all age groups, including kids. Hotels, resorts and airlines announce discount packages during summer season to attract families and friends to visit Dubai during summer.
If you are planning to visit Dubai during summer, you need to prepare yourself to survive high temperatures. Weather becomes scorching with temperatures climbing up to 103 to 113 during the day and can even reach 120 degree. Everyone needs to use suitable sunscreens during the daytime to avoid sunburns and also keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water and juices.

Fun doesn’t end here; Dolphin Bay will allow you to play with Dolphins in shallow waters. You can say Atlantis is a perfect alternative of beach.
Pool Parties
Pool parties are popular among young age group. During the summer hotels arrange such parties on their pool sides. Holiday homes and private homes can also serve as venue for pool parties. You can enjoy various fun activities like water polo, aquatic volleyball, good music along delicious food and beverages under beautiful decorated canopies. Perhaps you may have more fun as compared to spending time at public beach. Because in summer season temperature rises and won’t allow you to stay longer on beaches.
Desert Camping
If you are an adventure lover and willing to enjoy adventures of Arabian Desert, desert camping will be the best way to enjoy desert adventures. Especially for summer season it is much better to enjoy camping in nights under the full moon as compared to desert safari during the day. You may enjoy barbecue, live music and dancing in desert camping. You will definitely love Arabian Desert as it appears magical under moon light and soft wind.
Dubai is an ultimate destination for holiday makers, shoppers and adventure lovers. I suggest you to research online to find about airlines offering flights on suitable rates. Take some time to search about suitable accommodation options. If you are traveling with your family or group of friends, it’s good to stay in villa, holiday home, resorts as they will provide more privacy like living in your home as compared to hotel.
