INSIGHTS AND AWARENESS - Dubai was a balmy 47 degrees celsius during the day, dropping down to 36 degrees during the evenings. This is a super time to visit Dubai, a month ahead of the summer heat when the temperature will tread to 54 degrees during the day. Being in Dubai in 2007, must be like being in Floride in the 1950 and 1960’s, when Walt Disney and his friends were discussing about Disneyland. With world class resources flowing into Dubai and amazing real estate developments like the PALMS or THE WORLD underway, Dubai’s progress is truly a site for eyes to see and for people around the world to experience.
