How to Survive the Dubai Heat: A Jumeirah Insider’s Guide
Indoor Sanctuaries: Natural Light & Local Finds
Dubai summer is coming. From one aircon to another: let’s face it, the time of sitting outside on the veranda in a gentle breeze is coming to an end
Luckily, Jumeirah has a million cafes in villas that can still have this natural light and greenery feel while staying indoors. As a bonus, these spaces are often the best places to discover and shop small, independent brands that you won't find in the big malls

Wear Natural Fabrics
You can get away with polyester in the winter (although we don’t recommend it in any season for all types of reasons), but please don't try that in summer. Synthetic fabrics trap heat and irritate the skin. At TB Project, we always advocate for natural fabrics like organic Kala cotton and linen. These materials are grown in soil and allow your skin to breathe
Night Beach
The night beach is such an awesome feature of Dubai. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the sea and the outdoors once the sun has finally gone down and the sand has cooled off. It’s a peaceful, intentional way to experience the city's nature

Long Sleeves and Oversize Fit
Protecting your skin from the harsh UV rays is key. Long-sleeves, full-length pants, oversized fit allows for maximum airflow and keeps the sun off your skin. This actually helps you stay cooler than wearing short, tight clothing. Our signature kimonos and wide-leg pants are designed specifically for this kind of "stealth" cooling
Stay Hydrated & Sunscreen
Two non-negotiables for the season. Keep drinking water and never skip the SPF, even for short distances
No More Jogging Outside
It is time to move your exercise indoors—no more jogging outside for a few months. Just like with our favorite cafes, I love that you don't have to compromise on natural light and greenery when you choose the right indoor studio
