Hello,

We moved to Dubai last month. And it is not the best time of the year to be here. So, warm. I feel so lazy to go out of my apartment. I hope it is not like this whole year.

We glad you moved here. Stay rest assured Dubai is not this warm throughout the year. The temperature will start cooling down in coming weeks and November onwards winter will start. That time of the year is the best place to be.

Yeah, I hope so. Thank you guys.

Do you guys know what are the best indoor activities to do here? We visited Burj Khalifa and the palm islands. Didn't go to the beach since, I felt so uncomfortable in the heat. SO I planned on visiting the outdoor attractions later this year. Till then I wish to have the indoor experiences in Dubai where I can spent the weekends well.

Yeah Midnight Sam, I have been searching online about the shopping malls, they are a handful. http://www.malloftheemirates.com/en/ent … /ski-dubai This caught me in awe. Snow is Dubai? I hope it will be so much fun.
