Dubai is no stranger to scorching summers. The unforgiving sun can be relentless, leaving us residents searching for shade and relief. But here’s some good news on the horizon: a Canadian company is bringing an innovative solution to Dubai, one that could reduce the temperature by a refreshing 6ºC. Here are all the details you need to know about your summers may just get so much cooler.
Free Umbrellas For Everyone
Imagine having access to specially-designed umbrellas, placed strategically in public locations across Dubai, just like how you can find Careem bike docks placed around the city – the concept is very similar. What’s more, residents can use these umbrellas free of charge for 24 hours. It’s an ingenious way to stay cool and comfortable in the midst of a blistering summer.
UmbraCity’s Vision for Dubai
The brains behind this revolutionary idea is Amir Entezari, the founder of UmbraCity. His inspiration came from friends in Dubai, who saw the potential of rental umbrellas to combat the intense heat. Dubai’s commitment to improving walkways and mobility makes it the perfect place to introduce this groundbreaking service.

How To Get Your Free Umbrella
Renting an UmbraCity umbrella is straightforward. Users can register through a kiosk or app (for apple and android download), and for the first 24 hours, it’s absolutely free.

To make it convenient, you can save your credit or debit card information in the app, ensuring a hassle-free rental experience.
Dubai’s summers are about to get cooler, thanks to UmbraCity’s innovative and eco-conscious approach to providing free umbrellas. Say goodbye to sweltering heat and hello to a more comfortable summer in the city.
