Good morning and welcome to “Things to do in Dubai” for Thursday, August 7, 2025! Whether you’re a longtime resident or a first-time visitor, Dubai is buzzing with activity today, so let’s jump right into the city’s energy and what you need to know.

Dubai’s summer is in full swing: expect sunshine and temperatures soaring into the high 30s Celsius, so stay hydrated and take advantage of the city’s outstanding air-conditioned venues. Air quality is holding steady, but if you plan to be outside during peak heat, take breaks indoors. Today’s news shows Dubai is as lively as ever, with new community stories unfolding and major events bringing people together[2].

Let’s talk about what’s hot today in Dubai:

- Culinary enthusiasts and bargain hunters will love Dubai’s “Dhs10 Dishes” festival, where top restaurants serve up creative plates for only ten dirhams all day long—perfect for foodies eager to try something new on a budget[4].
- Golf fans can swing by various clubs for special “Bargain Golf Sessions,” with discounted green fees making it an ideal time to play despite the summer heat[4].
- Cool off with an after-dark swim: several beachfront hotels and beach clubs are hosting pool parties under the stars, complete with DJs and fun vibes—definitely an Insta-worthy way to end your day[4].
- For real estate buffs or those curious about Dubai’s booming property market, tune into updates from the Dubai Property Expo being spotlighted today, where the city’s investment scene is on full display[1][2].
- Families can explore the Dubai Mall, take a look at the spectacular Dubai Aquarium, or venture to The Lost Chambers Aquarium for a mesmerizing underwater experience among 65,000 marine animals[6][9].

On the news front, Dubai continues making headlines. The city’s retail and dining scene is booming, with new restaurants launching across popular hotspots—especially in Palm Jumeirah, home to The Pointe and Club Vista Mare. The property market remains dynamic, with rising transaction volumes and some temporary relief in rental prices, great news for apartment seekers[2][6].

Public safety remains a top priority: authorities urge everyone to avoid outdoor activities during the hottest hours, use only official government websites for fee payments, and report anything suspicious for a safer city[2][5]. On the fun side, Dubai Police are cracking down on fake traffic fine discounts—so steer clear and handle fines through trusted channels only[5].

Not sure what to do today? Here are a few can’t-miss picks:

- Marvel at the views from the Burj Khalifa or relax beside the Dubai Fountain.
- Wander the Al Fahidi Historical District; soak up traditions at the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding.
- Shop and dine inside one of the world’s largest malls, or browse the quirky Textile Souk for hidden gems and souvenirs[3][6].

Here’s a local tip: Want to navigate the city like a pro? Hop aboard the Palm Monorail for easy access to new dining and retail destinations, and enjoy unbeatable views of Dubai’s coastline[6].

Looking ahead, mark your calendar! Tomorrow kicks off even more family-friendly summer festivals, and with concerts like AP Dhillon’s coming up at Coca-Cola Arena in September, there’s always something exciting on the horizon[10]. Be sure to listen in again for tomorrow’s picks—Dubai never stays still, and neither should you!
