What's the best time to go to the beach in Dubai during summer to avoid the heat?

In summer you can even swim at night or very early morning — it stays comfortable until about 9 AM, with sunrise around 5:40 AM. After 9 AM the beach becomes too hot to enjoy.

For a first visit to Dubai, combine sightseeing at popular landmarks with some beach time — this way you get both the city highlights and a bit of sea relaxation.

With a young child, a good daily schedule is: early morning at the beach (before the heat), midday at a mall or hotel with kids' entertainment and an animator, and evening at the pool.
