Did a short tour by bus (Merchants Tour) which took in some sights and gave an orientation of Dubai - highly recommend at least 5 nights but not July - September. Tour covered trip to Jumeirah, saw a Mosque, gardens, old & new palace, street stalls (spices & jewellery) Museum, Heritage site where a demonstrable old A/C can be experienced - really worked. Somehow the outside air became cool in cooling toweres and as cold air is heavier than hot air if falls and pushes hot air out. (Just telling what we were told).
