Your guide to summer maxxing in the UAE

Before you open up a search tab to Urban Dictionary to check out what summer maxxing means – allow us to divulge into this Gen Z slang that has taken over the internet. Summer maxxing is a way of life for those who look forward to the warmer season, break from hectic schedules, colder beverages, and everything in between. In short, it is romanticising summer to its fullest, with itineraries packed with all things, well – cool. When it comes to summer in the UAE, there are no days off for fun and exciting things to do around the region despite how hot it gets – so consider yourself booked and busy till you head on back to your regular scheduled programming. While At.mosphere at Burj Khalifa will remain as one of the hottest (pun intended) destinations for you to visit through out the year. It’s chic interiors, plush – cool toned seating and a vibe that’s hard to replicate sets the scene for something far beyond the summer season. And one such experience is the rich breakfast spread at At.mosphere – from golden Viennoiserie and vibrant fruit platters to artisanal charcuterie, European cheeses, and creamy yoghurts. It will not only satisfy your cravings but also your Instagram feed. With prices starting at Dhs 450 per person, this should be on your list of places to visit this summer. This list is going to be anything but ordinary if you couldn’t already tell. It’s summer maxxing to the max. And, what truly puts star on your summer break is taking a dip in one of the deepest pools in the world. This isn’t just any pool – this experience is somewhat similar to rediscovering the sunken city of Atlantis with its architectural façade, and antiquities hidden underneath. If you haven’t dived before, don’t worry – its also beginner friendly. A team of extremely trained professionals will be present with you at all times to guide you through the experience. The temperatures may have hit its peak, but so has your summer break. If you’re looking for ways to cool down during the heat – this just maybe it.
