Air temperature
In the middle of summer in the United Arab Emirates, the heat is so intense that even locals prefer to relax in countries with less hot climates. It is difficult to frighten Russian tourists, so they willingly go on vacation to the UAE in July as well. The hottest weather is in Dubai and Sharjah.
According to tourists, the sun rises early, and from 9 am the real hell begins. Even if you go to the beach even earlier, do not expect comfort. In the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening and at night the air humidity is high - 85-95%. According to vacationers, the coast looks like a sauna. During the day you don't see pedestrians very often. Everyone travels by taxi or public transport. The streets get lively after sunset.
Humidity makes people feel lethargic and sleepy. It is easy to get burns in the sun - lie under shade canopies and sun umbrellas.

Water temperature
The sea is very warm! In July, the water temperature in the UAE is + 32 ... + 33 ° С. Despite this, there are few people on the beaches. Tourists like to swim in hotel pools, where the water is specially cooled to + 25 ° C.
Most of those who swim in the sea are early in the morning and before sunset. If you want to go to the beach during the day, be sure to bring sunscreen, a hat, and a supply of drinking water.
Olga: "It's very good. The water temperature is + 24 ... + 25 ° C. There are many different beautiful shells. We found a starfish. There are a lot of small fish swimming in the water."
Evgeniya: "We went to La Mer beach - very beautiful, well equipped. Gentle entry into the water, white fine sand, clear clear water. This beach is artificial, designed so that there are no waves at all".
How to dress for the weather
The best clothing option for a vacation in the UAE in the summer of 2021 will not be shorts and light T-shirts, but long trousers, light long dresses, shirts and T-shirts that completely cover the shoulders. Walking barefoot on the hot sand is impossible, so bring special beach shoes.
Warm clothes are not needed, even in the evenings it is hot by the sea. A light sweater or sweatshirt is only useful for air-conditioned rooms and vehicles.
Maria Makarova: "Be sure to wear a hat, wear light clothing made from natural fabrics that will cover all parts of the body."
Precipitation and hurricanes
Don't worry about rain - there is no rainfall in the UAE in July. Sandstorms usually occur in winter and spring. Count on a relaxing holiday without natural disasters.

Holidays with children in July
A summer trip with preschoolers to the United Arab Emirates is not a good idea! Babies do not tolerate extreme heat, high humidity and quickly overheat. Older children also find it difficult to cope with the summer heat.
If you decide to travel, for families with children in July in the UAE in 2021, we recommend choosing Fujairah. It is a little cooler there - the temperature of the sea water is + 26 ... + 29 ° С. In addition, in an Arab resort, a child can easily master the basics of diving.
Should you rest in July in the UAE
July weather in UAE 2021 can be a real challenge. In summer, the United Arab Emirates is only suitable for people who can easily tolerate high temperatures and humidity. Families with kids, elderly tourists and everyone who suffers from diseases of the heart, blood vessels and respiratory organs, it is better to choose a country with a mild climate for recreation. For example, the resorts of the Mediterranean - the north of Greece, Montenegro or Croatia.
Be prepared that the first 3-5 days will be spent on acclimatization. The body takes time to adjust to the unusual heat. Observe safety measures! Try to stay in the shade or under an air conditioner, stay hydrated, and use a high-protection sunscreen. Check in advance if the hotel has a pool.
