5 Reasons to be Happy in a UAE Summer
We are in the midst of the warmest days of summer. Your best friends have already packed their bags to head out to cooler climes, and you’re suffering from a serious bout of envy. With no plans in the horizon, you seem to be doomed to the regular grind all summer long. But as the colloquial saying goes, every grey cloud has a silver lining. We’ve come up with 5 great reasons why staying back in the UAE this summer can actually be great fun:
- Smoother Traffic: As a UAE resident, the morning commute tends to be the bane of our existence. With schools closed and a huge fraction of the population out holidaying, we get to enjoy emptier roads, even in peak times.
- DSS: Dubai Summer Surprises has already started with a bang. This is a great time to grab great bargains.
- Mango Season: Living in the UAE we are blessed with the widest variety of mango imports from around the world. Look out for juicy Indian Alphonsos, the highly prized Pakistani Langra and the tart-sweet Zebdya from Egypt. Lulu Supermarket at Souq Extra Al Quoz and Fujairah stock a wide variety, as does Carrefour at Souq Extra DSO and Al Mayas at Souq Extra DIP.
- Natural Light: Living in the UAE, we tend to crib and complain about the excess sunshine whilst others living in colder climates look forward to it. If you are serious about your photography and want to really slay with your summer posts on Instagram, take advantage of the morning light between 5 am to 10 am.
- New Look: Revamp your wardrobe, try a new summer-friendly hairdo. Take advantage of the great DSS offers. Ladies, check out this season’s hottest shades of nail colors at Shades by Loft at Souq Extra DSO!
