TL;DR
In summer, stick to indoor, air-conditioned attractions in Dubai — many outdoor spots are closed or too hot and humid to enjoy comfortably.
For an early-September stay, choose a good hotel with air conditioning throughout: even if it is very hot outside, rooms and indoor hotel areas remain comfortable, including for families with children.
The black-facade Ramada hotel has a cool air-conditioned lobby where guests can wait for the beach transfer instead of standing outside in the heat.
Hotels with direct access to a mall are convenient in summer since you can move between the hotel and the mall without stepping outside into the heat; in winter, walking outdoors is much more pleasant.
Some outdoor attractions close for the summer season — it's best to prioritize indoor, air-conditioned venues, since outdoor spots are extremely hot, humid, and uncomfortable during this time.
