Are the elderly encouraged to attend the festival?
All people, regardless of age are urged to stay indoors in air-conditioned spaces during the hottest hours of the day and avoid doing outdoor activities in Dubai during summer. For visitors and tourists, malls and all other indoor places are air conditioned however, for outdoors the scenario is different.
Everyone is encouraged to follow safety precautions to stay safe from the heat. It is especially important for our senior community members to comply, as both the very young and the elderly are more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses. Factors such as their overall health, ability to adapt to hot weather, and existing health conditions can significantly affect their risk. Seniors should consult their primary physician for personalized advice and support.
