Dubai Municipality recently designated three beaches for night swimming. But for those still daunted by the UAE summer heat, hotels and other venues are offering deals for after-dark swims.
Here are some top places for a post-sunset dip in the UAE.
Aura Skypool, Dubai
The "world's highest 360° infinity pool", according to its website, suspended 200 metres in the air, offers an evening swim three times a week. Access to the Instagram-worthy pool costs Dh225 per person, excluding food and drinks.
There is also an indoor pool that costs Dh200 per person, including food and drinks, and live entertainment, too.
Tuesday, Friday and Saturday; 8pm-11pm; from Dh200 per person; Palm Tower, Palm Jumeirah; 04 566 2121, auraskypool.com

The Tulum-inspired restaurant has a swimming pool that is open daily from 10am to 11pm.
Every Friday and Saturday, guests can head to a night brunch from 8pm until midnight, which costs from Dh425 per person. DJ Alex spins the beats.
There is also a special offer for women every Thursday evening, when they can get a three-course meal plus pool access from 8pm to 11pm for Dh195.
