The coolest indoor sports to try this summer
Let's be honest, it's way too hot for a game of padel on the beach. But the heat doesn't mean that sport-lovers have to pack away their gear until the cooler months and settle for the sofa. If you like this: Too hot? 70 cool indoor activities in Dubai to tick off this summer There are plenty of indoor sports you can work up a sweat trying, all while in the comfort of AC. What's more, some of them will barely cost you a thing if you split the cost with mates. If you're looking to feel the burn this summer (not literally), give one of these a try. Indoor sports in Dubai (and where to try them) Badminton at Pioneers Badminton Hub There's no cooler way to play a game of badminton than on a glow in the dark court. Illuminating under the neon lights, the Al Quoz spot will let you rent a court for as little as Dhs80, making it an affordable boredom-buster during the summer. Plus, PBH even provides the rackets and shuttlecocks for the game free of charge. From Dhs80. Open daily 6am-midnight. Al Quoz, @ (055 287 1234). Basketball at Dubai Sports World (Credit: Supplied) Throughout the month of August, you'll be able to rent out a court at the iconic pop-up that is Dubai Sports World and see how many slam dunks you and your mates can manage. Fully kitted-out, the courts are priced from Dhs200 per hour, meaning it's a very cheap game if you split it with your group. From Dhs250. Sun Aug 3- Tue Sep 2. Open daily 8am–midnight.

Golf at Five Iron It might not be nine holes at Emirates Golf Club, but it's as close as you can get indoors. So switch trundling around the course in the heat for a simulator at Five Iron Golf. To get a real taste of the action, choose from a selection of simulator courses, where you can even play back your shot on the fake grass and measure everything from club speed to spin axis. Or if that's a bit too technical and you'll simply be happy if you can hit the ball, opt for a good old-fashioned game of putt putt instead. From Dhs90 (30 minutes). Open Tue-Thu 7am-1am; Fri-Sat 7am-2am; Sun-Mon 7am-midnight. The Westin, Dubai Marina, (04 396 6867).
