Growing organic vegetables in apartment balcony

I live in Dubai UAE, which gets extremely hot in the summer months. I live in an apartment but have space on the balcony which I would like to use to grow some vegetables and herbs. Can you suggest which ones would be good to grow considering extremely hot conditions in summer months? Should the pots be placed in shade throughout? I have never grown anything before and am just a beginner. Appreciate your response.
