Most of us might be groaning with the prospect of a sweltering summer, but for the city's
00:12
children this could well be the best part of the year.
00:16
Say hello to Modesh, you'll be seeing a lot of this big yellow chap over the next couple
00:20
of months dotted around Dubai.
00:23
It's all about Dubai summer surprises, 65 days of mainly indoor activities for families
00:29
across the city.
00:30
It all kicked off with a swish at the new Dolphinarium.
00:33
An audience of around 800 were treated to a 3D look into marine life in the UAE before
00:39
the stars themselves came out and put on a show.
00:42
Organisers were keen to highlight the huge logistical operation behind this summer's
00:46
entertainment.
00:47
We have 25 participating shopping malls across which all the activity is going to take place.
00:48
In addition to that we have Modesh Fun City which will be the biggest indoor themed activity
00:49
area for children.
00:50
The events always attract people from other parts
01:01
of the emirates who were keen to see the pizazz that Dubai can offer.
01:06
Actually I'm from Ras Al Khaimah, I came here just to make them enjoy this one, it's different
01:12

01:17
The government says around 2.5 million people are expected to visit Dubai over the summer
01:22
months despite the scorching temperatures.
01:25
And with daily activities for the next 65 days, DSS organisers hope they can capitalise
01:31
on the large flow of tourists.
