Unfortunately, Dubai summer has one very specific downside. Some of the city’s best outdoor attractions disappear just when you want to escape the air conditioning. But thankfully, the countdown to their return is officially on. As temperatures ease later in the year, Dubai’s seasonal favourites will welcome visitors again! So you can finally enjoy flower-filled gardens, wildlife adventures and nights packed with food, shopping and entertainment. If, like us, you can’t wait to stay outdoors without sweating, here’s when to mark the reopening of these outdoor attractions on your calendar!
