In Dubai, when the sun is out, that means the doors to some of our favourite spots close. I’m talking about Global Village, Ripe Market, Dubai Safari Park, and many more favs. But luckily for us, there are way more places staying open than closing down for the summer. And don’t worry, these spots pack just as much fun, adventure, and excitement to keep your weekends busy all summer long. Come with me, and I’ll show you all the places that are for sure staying open in Dubai, no matter how hot the sun will be blazing this summer!
