Emirates summer calendar and features shopping and entertainment for the whole family. The event, launched in 1998, is held for a whole month in summer.

pizza dough, mould some clay, throw some snow at the snow park then bury your best friend in the sand. There’s even a spa for little Princesses and Queens to get some well-deserved pampering. Make sure to check out the Modhesh World Main Theatre, or even become a performer themselves at the Modhesh Dance Academy. Open from mid-June to end August.
A tip if you are planning to travel to Dubai in mid-summer / July time - your trip may fall during the holy period of Ramadan, which may make certain tourist activities trickier during the day. On the plus side, resorts are generally much quieter during this period. We’d advise doing your research to check if this is the best time for you to plan your trip!
