Beating the Heat in Dubai

At 5:30 AM it was already 93 °F with 60 % humidity. To fit in a run, I set my alarm even earlier and watched the city wake up as I jogged along the canal. The sunrise turned the skyline gold and for a brief moment the temperature felt manageable. Living and traveling in desert climates teaches you to adapt and appreciate the cooler hours. Afterwards we cooled off with fresh laban and dates from a corner stall.

Family travel tip: In hot destinations like Dubai, plan your activities around the heat. Early mornings and evenings are ideal for outdoor pursuits; spend midday exploring air‑conditioned museums or aquariums. Stay hydrated and take advantage of shaded parks like Al Barsha Pond Park for playtime.
