In the peak of August in the UAE, average daytime temperatures can reach anywhere between 43-50°C. It is essential to avoid sunburn or heat stroke by limiting the amount of time that you spend in direct sunlight, using plenty of high-factor sunscreens, drinking plenty of water and ensuring that your children are wearing protective clothing when outdoors.
Take a trip to the shopping mall
The indoor shopping malls and districts in the UAE are all heavily air-conditioned. In fact, they are a delight to stroll through in the early morning, just before the crowds make their way in for the afternoon. If you find yourself getting hot under the collar, pop into one of these expertly cooled shopping paradises.
Wake up early!
Waking up earlier for a walk on the beach or an excursion means you can enjoy cooler temperatures. The best time for a trip is around 7am, because this will give you a good couple of hours before the sun reaches its hottest. Always carry plenty of bottled water, wear sensible shoes and cover exposed parts of the body with high factor sunscreen.
Indulge in a water park splashfest!
The Wild Wadi Water Park in Dubai is one of the biggest of its kind anywhere in the world. It has the largest water slide outside of the US, and it’s amazing to see how fearless and thrilled kids are by tackling this giant!
Drink plenty of water
