COOL CORNERS
From a greenhouse shala to a sunken city, What’s On makes itself at home in the coolest spots in Dubai
SCUBA DIVE IN THE WORLD’S DEEPEST POOL
Depending on how comfortable you are with swimming, wandering far into the deep end can be either exhilarating or borderline panic-inducing. If you tend to experience the latter when you can no longer touch the bottom, then maybe stay away from Deep Dive Dubai, the now Guinness World Record-holding deepest pool for divers located in Nad Al Sheba. If in fact you see this as the ultimate playground, boy, would you be right? Aside from being a whopping 60m deep, there’s a whole sunken city to explore with empty streets, a garage and an arcade that freedivers and scuba enthusiasts can discover. And thanks to a warm water temperature, you’ll neither be boiling hot (have you been in the ocean, lately?), or freezing cold.

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER
This is a city that works hard, plays hard, but, on a boiling hot day, can feel like hard work. So look at this month’s magazine as a little cooling comfort pack to see you through the summer season. Let yourself be whisked off to our favourite indoor bars and hideaways – with AC, summery feels and maybe an ice-cold drink to keep you chill. Then dream of refreshing dishes to fill your belly. You’ve never had it so cool.
