Escape the heat this summer
The temperature in Dubai is off the charts. It's the perfect time for underwater adventures, snowboarding, ice skating, and night swimming. On Premium Dubai's list of summer activities you will find exciting and non-obvious options to escape the scorching Arabian sun.
• Ski Dubai
Skiing, snowboarding and playing with penguins takes place in the snow kingdom. There are freestyle ramps for experienced sportsmen and professional training for beginners.
• Dubai Ice Rink
All skating enthusiasts come here to cool down, especially families with children. Professional skaters master their techniques, while at weekends there are ice discos set to the music of local DJs.
• Atlantis The Palm's underwater residences
The Poseidon and Neptune Residences overlook the waters of Atlantis Lagoon. Stingrays, sharks and exotic fish float by the panoramic picture window and you can enjoy a glimpse of marine life from your bed or marble bathtub.
• Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo
The gigantic aquarium is home to 400 species of sharks (including sand tiger sharks) and other ocean creatures. Sea creatures swim above visitors' heads along a 48-metre-long transparent tunnel. Crocodiles, penguins and otters live in enclosed enclosures.
• Snorkeling with cichlids
The Green Planet indoor rainforest is the new cichlid aquarium. There are 2000 brightly coloured African fish of about 30 species. Underwater guests can feed the sea creatures.
• Deep Dive Dubai
This diving space is hardly a swimming pool but an underwater civilisation. At a depth of 60 metres lies a sunken metropolis. There are other sunken games and entertainment spaces. Guests play table football, take pictures in supercars and witness the scenes of the "apocalypse".
• Ginger Moon
The club keeps the pool open until 2pm so when the sun goes down in the evening, guests come here to cool off. Guests are served Paloma tequila-based cocktails, sangria and signature snacks.
• iFLY Dubai
A 10 metre wind tunnel ride is sure to cool you down on a sweltering day. Under the guidance of an experienced instructor here you will learn how to spin and do somersaults, and as a memento you will be given photos with inexpressible emotions.
• Horror Cinema
Watching a chilling horror film in 4D is a great way to take your mind off the heat. Stylised cinemas have special effects and animation for total immersion.
• Akil Cinema
For those who prefer films with an adrenaline rush to the thoughtful auteur cinema, this cinema offers both retrospectives and new releases.
• The Royal Tearoom
In China, people drink hot tea when the weather burns you to the bones. And rightly so. It dilates blood vessels and cools the body naturally. At Atlantis Tea Room, not only are the finest teas available, but the ceremony is also accompanied by desserts created by pastry chef Christophe Devois.
• Scoopi
What's summer without ice cream? The signature Scoopie is handmade and available in a variety of flavours from classic dark chocolate to saffron pistachio and carbon with edible gold.
• Topgolf Dubai
The golf club has a cooling system to help you concentrate on your game rather than the heat. In addition to classical golf, there is golf shooting games and Angry Birds.
