You'd have to do it the old way, find habitations with think walls, ventilate during the night and keep the air relatively cool during the day. That's mostly how we still do it in many parts of southern Europe where were AC still isn't very popular in individual homes. Of course Dubai's skyscrapers wouldn't be very well suited to this method so yeah, they'd have a problem in this situation. I've been there during summer and merely standing outside is very tough on the system. Of course as a wealthy European that was only a mild inconvenience as you move between the overcooled mall and the SUV. Now if you're one of these modern slave workers coming from poorer countries and tasked with digging a ditch outside or something like that, it's probably a different story...
