Okay, so I know last time I said that the temperature was rising, but this time I actually mean it. I am pretty sure I saw my neighbours try to fry an egg in a pan on their balcony yesterday. I cannot confirm if it worked or not, but I personally feel like a cooked egg whenever I try to go outside these days. But in true Dubai fashion, we won’t let a little heat (or a lot of heat, actually) stop us from enjoying our blissful summer. So here is your July itinerary of all the fun things you can possibly do around town.
