What to Do in the United Arab Emirates in Summer 2023
Know that if you visit the United Arab Emirates in the summer, it will be very hot. The good news is that most indoor places you visit will be air conditioned. The average temperature in July in capitol Abu Dhabi will be the mid-90s, and you will likely encounter much warmer conditions. That being said, you can visit the Burj Khalifa or the Sheikh Zayed Grad Mosque (be sure you look up the dress code before going). Or do as the locals do and get out of the heat at an extravagant shopping complex like the Dubai Mall. Head out of the cities somewhere like the Hatta Water Dam where you can cool down by canoeing on the water. There are beaches to be found to take a dip in the water too, including Al Mamzar Beach Park or Jumeirah Beach in Dubai. And there are tons of water parks throughout the country to cool down if you aren’t near a beach. Just remember to rent a vehicle with air conditioning!

The guy from the counter recommended a useless prepaid fuel which basically is a loss for the customer since you can just refill the needed amount rather than pay for the full tank from the beginning.
Other than that, the rate was superb, car was clear, Sribeen has been a huge help when I returned the car at the end of my trip.
