So tomorrow is officially summer.

We all know the drill: a good chunk of the city is jetting off for cooler climes and the vibes are about to get hot – literally... like north of 40 degrees Celsius.

But here's the thing. Before you start missing your beloved outdoor brunch plans or switch to indoor-only stuff to do, there’s actually a major silver lining, and honestly, we're a little excited about it.

Dubai brings a different kind of luxury during these warmer months: reservation availability.

You'll find it refreshingly easier to snag that prime time slot at your favourite restaurant without needing to book long in advance. Plus, those epic summer deals and set menus? They’re about to land on a table near you, offering great value on some tasty dining experiences.

Navigating the city will be a lot easier also – think less traffic, zippier valets and generally easier movement between your favourite places to be seen at (excluding the office, ofc).

So yeah, we'll be here in Dubai, living our best lives, enjoying top-tier dining and cool café culture without the usual hustle.

What about your summer plans? Sticking around? Travelling anytime soon?

I'm curious, so drop me a line at yousra.zaki@itp.com.

And in the meantime... stay (extra) hydrated besties,
