For those of you who are blessed with a home away from home in a cooler Middle Eastern climate, summer is the fun season when the weather is beautiful, the sun shines brighter and the activities get more exciting. From events you can enjoy with your kids, to activities that allow you to have fun with friends, there is something for everyone. So here are our suggestions to help you make this summer the most memorable yet!

1 – Surf and take advantage of nature’s gym.

2 – What’s better than swimming under the beautiful sunrays, is going for a swim under the moonlight while a light breeze flows through your hair.

3 – Skydiving is also a great activity when the weather is nice. So why skip the chance to experience an adrenaline rush like no other?

4 – Enjoy a trip to the zoo with the kids. It’s the perfect family adventure and your children get to see their favorite animals in the flesh.

5 – What about some horseback riding?

6 – Run through the sprinklers for some serious wet fun and enjoy your time with the kids to the fullest!

7 – No summer is complete without ice cream, so why not prepare some fresh ice pops at home?

8 – Since the water is warm during the summer, how about you skip the dip in the ocean and settle for a stroll on the wet sand? It’s a great way to pamper your feet with a natural massage.

9 – Peach is most probably the yummiest summer fruit, so grill some and top them off with macaroons and caramel sauce. Such a delicious summer dessert!  

10 – While you take your kids to a place where they can fly their kites, watch the sunset with your husband. Quality time does not get any better than this!

11 – Go on a picnic!

12 – Hang a hammock in your garden and take a nap while the kids are away. After all, you deserve some “me-time.”

13 – Hop in a canoe with a friend or alone and row to the most serene spot for some relaxing time.
