When summer arrives in the UAE, so does the heat—with daytime temperatures often soaring above 45°C (113°F). As a result, several popular outdoor attractions in Dubai and Abu Dhabi close temporarily during the hottest months of the year.
If you’re planning a trip between June and September, here’s a helpful guide from Epic Click Travel on what to expect, which attractions go on break, and how to plan your summer visit wisely.
Top Attractions That Close During Summer
1. Dubai Miracle Garden
- Closed: June to late September (sometimes mid-October)
- Reopens: Typically mid to late October
- Why: The garden features over 150 million flowers that can’t survive the summer heat.
2. Global Village (Dubai)
- Closed: May through October
- Reopens: Usually around October or early November
- Why: This open-air cultural park is best enjoyed during cooler weather.
3. Camel Races – Al Marmoom Camel Racetrack
- Season Ends: Around March/April
- Season Resumes: October/November
- Why: Races are held early morning outdoors—conditions are unsafe during peak heat.
4. Cultural & Heritage Festivals (Al Dhafra, Liwa – Abu Dhabi region)
- Held in: Winter months (December to March)
- Activities: Camel races, falconry, Emirati traditions, and local markets.
5. Desert Safaris (Dubai & Abu Dhabi)
- Limited operations: June to September
- Full season resumes: October
- Note: Some companies offer only early morning or evening safaris, while others pause operations entirely.
Attractions That Stay Open Year-Round
Don’t worry—indoor and air-conditioned attractions remain open and are perfect for summer visits:
- Burj Khalifa (Dubai)
- The Dubai Mall & Mall of the Emirates
- Louvre Abu Dhabi
- Museum of the Future
- IMG Worlds of Adventure (Indoor theme park)
- Warner Bros. World & Yas Mall (Abu Dhabi)
Travel Tips from Epic Click Travel
