Don your hat, wear your sunscreen and put on your shades, for the summer is knocking at your doorstep. But if you think mall crawling, movie marathons and being a couch potato are the only things to do during the summer, then think again. Dubai has a plethora of fun activities that help you beat the heat. So instead of wilting in the sizzling summer, get yourself a tall glass of lemonade and read on!
Cryo therapy, Jumeirah Emirates Towers
Cryo therapy is the new hot favourite among the elite and the affluent. This therapy claims to make you look younger, assist you in weight loss and even help you recover from sports injury. And what’s more, this gives you a chance to flirt with ice. What more do you want in the blazing summer?
Dolphin Bay, Atlantis the Palm
Taking a dip in the cold water is a great respite in the scorching summer. What is even better is swimming with the dolphins in the cool water. If the idea of swimming with these agile beauties doesn’t appeal to you, then you can choose a picture opportunity instead.
IMG adventure world

Divided into four zones - MARVEL, Cartoon Network, Lost Valley – Dinosaur Adventure and IMG Boulevard – this huge attraction offers state-of-the-art facilities.

Ski Dubai, Mall of Emirates
Do not have the time or inclination to travel for experiencing snow? Head to Ski Dubai in the Mall of Emirates to enjoy a range of activities on the snow. Experience your first brush with skiing by taking up a lesson at the Ski School. Watch the penguins waddle at the Penguin Encounter or ride the Snow Bullet and soar high.
You do not have to book a flight and travel the world to escape the heat. Taking a Dubai tour offers you all the respite you need.
