Dubai Summer
Experienced world travelers know that four-star Dubai hotels mean excellence, and a fabulous time in one of the world’s most fabulous cities. The hotels here specialize in decadence, where luxury and comfort are the key ingredients to perfection. And perfection is certainly the goal here. There is a magnificent custom of hospitality here that is unfathomable until one experiences it first hand. Although there are old-fashioned values like graciousness that permeate the air here, there is an absolute love for the new. New shopping malls, new art works, and new technologies are found everywhere.
Dubai is truly at the cutting edge of the world for culture and style, and there are multiple reasons why it is one of the world’s hotspots for artists and scientists and travelers from all walks of life. It is also a place of wonderful contradictions. With some of the most lovely beaches in the world, it is also in the middle of the desert. There is the fascinating landscape then, that comes with both water and sand. Chances are, guests here won’t experience record heat, but there are certainly times when the desert lets people know that it’s the desert. One particular heat swell saw 51.4 degrees in the UAE at the Minand Airport, an inland military base. This translates in fahrenheit to around 125 degrees, hot by any standards. Though it’s not unusual for other deserts, such as Arizona, where it’s been known to top 120 in the deepest part of summer.
Of course, here in Dubai, there are state of the art shopping malls where guests can while away their time in the summer by shopping in some of the most gorgeous malls in the world. And as far as the hottest temperatures go, El Azizia, Libya holds the record for 58 degrees (or 136) in 1922. Travelers on the lookout for extremes should also check into Vostock, Antarctica, which dipped to -128.6 degrees fahrenheit (or a mere -89 degrees celsius) in 1983. The desert is mysterious and beautiful all year round, no matter what the temperature.
