Allergies in Dubai

There can be a lot of triggers for allergies in Dubai. Here are some of the factors that can affect people with allergies in Dubai:

• Pollen - Lots of communities in Dubai have green areas and plants to bring colour to the areas, as well as some of the roads and roundabouts in Dubai. While this is aesthetically pleasing, this can have a negative effect on some peoples wellbeing, sparking hay fever symptoms and other allergies.
• Pollution (Fumes) - With Dubai being such a densely populated area and a lot of communities being without any other transport other than cars or buses, the fumes and pollution produced can be extreme. Keeping your air conditioning on whilst driving and your windows closed can keep some of the pollutants at bay.
• Dust - Living in the desert can be challenging sometimes with the sand and dust storms causing issues on the road and also obstruct your vision whilst out and about, but it can also affect your allergies, due to the small dust particles being inhaled.
