And just like that, you know summer is near when your favourite Dubai attractions announce they are closing for a few months. I mean, with the soaring temperatures in Dubai from June to September, it really comes as no surprise that these outdoor attractions are taking a little hiatus to keep us and themselves safe from the summer heat. But even though these temporary goodbyes are bittersweet to make, I always find it super fun to see all the ways these attractions come back bigger and better for us each year! So, come along, and let’s find out which of your favourite Dubai spots are taking a quick pause for the summer.
