Chill Out on Dubious Dubai's First Refrigerated Beach
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 12.15.08
It's hot in Dubai, averaging 40C (104F) and often hitting 50C (122F) in summer. Perhaps tourists visiting this desert locale don't check this out before they book their junket (or the rules about what you can do on the beach Green bikinis are okay, right?). Or perhaps if you can afford to stay at the new Palazzo Versace you expect nature to be bent to your will. You expect cool sand. That is what Soheil Abedian, founder of the hotel, thinks:
?We will suck the heat out of the sand to keep it cool enough to lie on,? he said. ?This is the kind of luxury that top people want.?
