Have you ever flipped through the glossy travel magazines and stopped at the page, “Dubai – the center of now” and think, why not? There’s a photo of the pristine, turquoise waters off Jumeirah beach, the unbroken blue skies, glorious sun. But really, Dubai, the Middle East (not Middle Earth) in the summer?
I say, why not?
Don’t look at me like that! I wanted to say, I have “endured” seven summers here but I can assure you, it’s ok, you might even love it and learn a lot from the experience and yes, you can go back home in one piece without melting.
That’s a pinky swear!
So here are the top ten reason to visit Dubai during summer.
1. You can travel light! T-shirts, shorts, flip flops, bikinis. That is all. But do bring a big suitcase. Dubai in summer means shopping, shopping and more shopping inside the temperature controlled malls. You wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
2. You will have guaranteed tan in just minutes. For free. And sauna, too.
3. You can see car thermometer temperatures you didn’t even think were possible. I’m not talking about Florida-in-July hot. I’m talking about inside-your-car-with-a-broken-ac-in-Florida-in-July hot.
