Dubai: 7 cool indoor activities for residents as temperatures rise in summer

With temperatures soaring, outdoor activities have become few and far in between. However, Dubai has no dearth of indoor fun for the summer.

From improving their golfing skills to going camping in a rain forest and riding one of the tallest rollercoasters, there is plenty that residents can do to keep themselves busy.

Khaleej Times puts together a list of seven indoor activities that Dubai residents and tourists can indulge in over the summer.

1. Club Lab Golf

While the temperatures might be a tad bit too hot to practice golfing outdoors, this might be the perfect time to work on some skills. At Club Lab Golf, there is a fully fit-out lab with state-of-the-art practice bays for both the professional golfer and the newbies. From measuring swing speed to the angles of the club to the width of stance, the state-of-the-art machines at Club Lab Golf will give a detailed analysis into a player’s game. With an in-house golf coach and virtual experiences, there is no better way to improve your golf.

2. Dubai Sports World

If golf isn’t your thing but you still want to try out some new sports, then the country’s largest indoor sporting venue has opened at Dubai World Trade Center (DWTC).
