Moving in Dubai Summer: 12 Tips to Beat the Heat
Quick answerTo move safely in a Dubai summer, start early in the morning, keep heat-sensitive items (electronics, candles, medicines, cosmetics) out of hot trucks and cars, keep the AC running at both homes, stay hydrated, and book a crew big enough to finish before the hottest hours.
- Start early. Morning starts keep the crew fresh and avoid the peak heat.
- Keep the AC on in both homes until the end of the day.
- Carry heat-sensitive items yourself — laptops, medicines, cosmetics, candles, vinyl records, photos.
- Pack electronics properly in original boxes or well-padded cartons.
- Defrost the fridge the day before and use cool boxes for food.
- Hydrate — keep plenty of cold water for everyone.
- Book a right-sized crew so loading is quick and items spend less time in the truck.
- Use a closed truck to protect furniture from sun and dust.
- Plan the route to avoid long stops in traffic.
- Protect wooden and leather furniture with blankets, not just plastic.
- Move plants last and water them on arrival.
- Book handyman setup so curtains and blinds are up on the first night.
