Welcome to “Things to do in Dubai” on this bright Sunday, August 3, 2025! Whether you’re a city explorer or a sun-seeker, today’s Dubai is buzzing with excitement. The summer sun continues to shine, temperatures hover around a very warm 40°C, and while the desert haze lingers, the city’s energy is unmistakable. Air quality is typical for the season—clearer near the coast, with a light sea breeze offering some relief.
Let’s dive into today’s top events. For sports enthusiasts, Dubai Sports World has kicked off at the Dubai World Trade Centre, offering indoor football, padel, tennis, badminton, and more—a perfect way to stay active out of the heat, with events and court bookings running all day long and through the month[7]. Music lovers can look forward to vibrant nightlife across the Marina and Downtown, but families should not miss the world-famous Aquaventure Waterpark and Dubai Aquarium, where you can dive into adventure or explore marine worlds from the cool comfort of The Dubai Mall[6]. Entrepreneurs and business networkers will want to check out the Entrepreneur Networking Mixer at Al Mankhool Public Library this evening from 7 to 9 PM—a great opportunity to connect, collaborate, and spark new ideas in the heart of old Dubai[4]. Meanwhile, real estate buffs can drop by the Dubai Property Expo, running until 7 PM in nearby Gurgaon (for those interested in Dubai’s booming property market with an international twist)[1][10].
On the city news front, there’s plenty to note. Dubai’s public transit scene celebrated a big step forward as the city’s ruler, HH Sheikh Mohammed, tested the new Dubai to Fujairah train, promising faster connections between emirates and a glimpse of the UAE’s modern infrastructure in action[5]. Over in Sharjah, a busy roundabout near the Holy Quran Complex is closed for maintenance, so if your travels spill over into the neighboring emirate, check alternative routes, especially close to Muweileh Commercial Area[8]. Also, keep ears open for city-wide announcements as Dubai continues its efforts to improve air quality—a topic always on the summer agenda[5].
If you’re visiting or simply rediscovering your hometown, don’t miss these must-do experiences today. Take in the views from the world’s highest 360-degree infinity pool at AURA Skypool for a breathtaking perspective of Palm Jumeirah and the city skyline[6]. For a calmer escape, hunt for Black Palace Beach (Al Sufouh Beach), a secret sandy stretch hidden between Palm Jumeirah and the Burj Al Arab—blissfully uncrowded and perfect for a sunset walk or morning swim[3]. Culture seekers can immerse themselves in Illusion City, a specialty museum that will twist your perception in the best way possible[6].
Local tip: Dubai’s “hidden” beaches, like Black Palace Beach, aren’t well signposted—ask a local or use your GPS to save time, and you may just enjoy one of the city’s rare quiet corners[3]. Also, remember Friday and Sunday are peak days at malls and attractions; arriving early means cooler temps and shorter lines.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, Dubai Sports World continues, and keep an eye out for special family programming at some of the city’s museums and entertainment venues. We’ll also have updates on new restaurant openings and the latest in Dubai’s ever-changing dining scene.
Thanks for tuning in to “Things to do in Dubai.” Join us tomorrow for more ways to make every day unforgettable in this vibrant city!
