Want to get out of the heat for a while? Here are the top places to have fun without the sun while you’re in Dubai.
Bowling
Dubai offers a couple of different options for bowlers. If you would like to have a pint while playing a game with friends, head down to Al Nasr Leisureland, if you’re booking for a large group, go to the modern Dubai Bowling Center, or if you’re looking for a fun day with the kids, go to Funky Lanes for cosmic bowling and glow-in-the-dark mini golf.

Escape Room
Have you ever watched a crime show and wondered whether you would make a good detective? Look no further than escape rooms—a game where you find clues and solve puzzles in order to escape the room that you’re locked in before time runs out. Popular arenas in Dubai include: Hinthint Dubai, Escape Quest, and Brainscape Games.
