Summer in Dubai is extraordinarily uncomfortable. After all, we are actually in the hottest part of the world here, stuck between burning sand (in reality, a desert) and near-melting concrete, steel and glass of the urban jungle. The waters of the Arabian Gulf offer no relief from the heat, their temperature often above 32 degrees Celsius and with an unusually high salinity, thinking it would be a clever idea to ‘dive in to cool down’ is really folly!
Still, I brave the extreme weather because finding a new perspective of my adopted home offers me a buzz. Today I find myself on the Palm Jumeira looking back onto the mainland. The Dubai skyline during summer is unique and futuristic. Its as if the skyscrapers are burning up such is the haze that radiates from their metal exoskeletons…
