Dubai Residents Can Now Rent Umbrellas That Will Reduce Temperature By 6ºC

Living in Dubai, we all are quite familiar with scorching summers, leaving everyone searching for shade and relief. The good news is a Canadian company is brining an innovative solution to Dubai that can reduce the temperature by a refreshing 6ºC.

Imagine having access to specially-designed umbrellas, placed strategically in public locations across Dubai, just like how you can find Careem bike docks placed around the city – the concept is very similar. What’s more, residents can use these umbrellas free of charge for 24 hours.

The brains behind this revolutionary idea is Amir Entezari, the founder of UmbraCity. His inspiration came from friends in Dubai, who saw the potential of rental umbrellas to combat the intense heat. Dubai’s commitment to improving walkways and mobility makes it the perfect place to introduce this groundbreaking service.

They come equipped with smart chips that make the rental process a breeze. Users can register for an account via a kiosk or an app, then easily access an umbrella. The smart chip helps track the usage duration and links user details to the app.

Renting an UmbraCity umbrella is straightforward. Users can register through a kiosk or app (for apple and android download), and for the first 24 hours, it’s absolutely free. After that, a small fee applies – yet to be determined how much Dubai Umbracity umbrellas will cost. To make it convenient, you can save your credit or debit card information in the app, ensuring a hassle-free rental experience.
