Between June and October, Dubai experiences daytime temperatures of around 40 degrees Celsius, combined with very high humidity. This makes outdoor activities nearly impossible. Consequently, the city’s beaches are now open for nighttime visits. Bright floodlights and lifeguards equipped with night-vision gear ensure the safety of beachgoers along an 800-meter stretch of coastline. Millions of people now take advantage of the opportunity to go for a late-night swim during the summer. Nets are in place to keep sharks out, and a camera system utilizing the latest technology can detect individuals in distress. In anticipation of the region’s increasingly hot weather, the city government hopes that these measures will encourage people to continue choosing Dubai as a holiday destination.
