Dubai exodus on hold as expats feel heat

Dubai’s wealthy expatriates have traditionally rushed for the airports in early summer, escaping the oppressive Gulf heat for extended breaks in their home countries.

This year, some Muslims have chosen not to holiday abroad as the holy month of Ramadan starts later this week, and others have cut short vacation time to return to Dubai to fast with friends and family.

This summer, however, it is economic, not only religious, values that are dictating the summer holidays."
