Is it worth visiting Dubai in summer and which beach is best during that time?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 3 days ago
TL;DR
Summer in Dubai is hot (38-42°C/100-108°F in the shade), but sea breeze makes it bearable, crowds are low, and discounts are everywhere. However, sea water gets very warm and blooms in stagnant areas like Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina — better to pick open beaches with good water circulation.
What the community said
Sea water gets very hot in summer, and in stagnant areas like Palm Jumeirah and the Marina zone it blooms/turns green — not the typical beach experience, so it's better to pick beaches with open water and good circulation.

Summer heat in Dubai really hits 38-42°C (100-108°F) in the shade, but thanks to the cool sea breeze it's quite bearable and even pleasant.

Summer in the city is quiet and calm: sunny, palm trees, warm sea, almost no tourists — feels like off-season. Everything is uncrowded, with discounts and promotions everywhere on hotels and services.
