Modestly cooler temperatures make winter the most pleasant time of year for a visit, despite the threat of rain. But you won’t be the only traveler in town—this is Dubai’s busiest season.
Dubai’s coolest season is a great time to hit up the city’s large network of public beaches, like ever-popular Jumeirah Beach.
Rainy weather isn’t a damper in Dubai, as so many of the city’s major attractions are indoors. When raindrops fall, take shelter in Ski Dubai the Dubai Mall, or try indoor skydiving at iFly Dubai.
Dubai’s shopping is hall-of-fame level, and the month-long Dubai Shopping Festival means bargains galore throughout January.
Drier weather and relatively mild temperatures makes early spring one of Dubai’s best seasons. Crowds surge during March’s spring-break holidays, but timing your visit in April means fewer crowds and tolerable temperatures.
Spring’s clear skies make it a prime time for taking in the outstanding views atop Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.
Explore the city’s historic neighborhoods like Deira and Bur Dubai on foot. Reasonable temperatures make strolling the souks and long afternoons at cafes more comfortable.
May is Ramadan, when Muslims fast from morning until night. Visitors aren’t expected to keep the same restrictions, but you should expect a more reserved atmosphere across the city and many restaurants will not cover their windows so passersby won’t witness daytime meals.
A Dubai summertime could make even heat lovers think twice. Scorching temperatures drive the entire city indoors from May through September, though that’s not necessarily a bad thing in a city of megamalls.
Summer is a great time of year to pamper yourself at one of the city’s luxury resorts, with rates running at a seasonal low. Book spa appointments, seek out a private cabana near the pool, or just bask in the views from your sky-high, air-conditioned suite.
Score reservations at the city’s most-lauded restaurants, which are normally booked out well in advance. Check out Zuma, Pierchic, Marina Social, Il Borro Tuscan Bistro, and CLAP.
Looking to chill? Hit up Ski Dubai and pretend the desert isn’t at Dubai's doorstep.
The later fall months swing back to more tolerable temperatures, making outdoor exploration feasible. Big events are on the agenda as the city gears up for the winter holiday season.
While temperatures are still blazing at the beginning of fall, you’ll be able to nab more wallet-friendly rates at some of Dubai’s most famous resorts like the Atlantis and Burj al Arab.
Racing enthusiasts know that Dubai is a bucket-list destination in motorsports, and F1 arrives in town in early December. Events range from qualifiers to the Dubai Grand Prix.
Rugby fans, get ready to chant and cheer at Dubai’s annual Rugby Sevens international tournament toward the end of fall.
Where to stay
- Palm JumeirahEven from space, the Palm Jumeirah can be spotted. This man-made, palm-shaped island near the Dubai Marina is home to Atlantis Dubai and other mega-luxe resorts. This is a great location for families and travellers seeking low-key pursuits: spa visits, pool time, and activities like kayaking and paddleboarding.Read more
- The MarinaOne of Dubai’s see-and-be-seen districts, directly adjacent to The Walk, Dubai Marina is home to some of the city’s most popular bars, restaurants, and nightclubs. Luxury living is the name of the game here, with glistening high-rise hotels gazing over the Persian Gulf.Read more
- DeiraLooking for the Dubai of years past? You’ll find it in Deira. Streetlife here is nonstop, and the neighbourhood is home to Dubai’s famed gold, spice, and perfume souks. For travellers who prefer a more intimate, local vibe, Deira’s narrow lanes and charming cafes make great places to explore.Read more
- Downtown DubaiDowntown Dubai, synonymous with Sheik Zayed Road, is the image many travellers have in mind when they arrive. Impossibly tall skyscrapers spread in every direction, but none tower higher than the neck-craning Burj Khalifa. Other major attractions include Ski Dubai, the Dubai Mall, and loads of restaurants and bars.Read more
- JumeirahTravelling with children? Jumeirah Beach could be a good fit. Countless hotels, including the instantly recognisable Burj al Arab, surround one of Dubai’s best public beaches and onland activities for children are everywhere (including water parks and, for teens, indoor skydiving simulators).Read more

- Burj KhalifaThe Burj Khalifa is Dubai’s most famous landmark, with an observation deck that will make anyone’s knees knock (reached by an equally thrilling lift ride). The world’s tallest building also happens to be in Downtown Dubai, where you’ll find countless hotels, restaurants, and activities like Ski Dubai.Read more
- The Walk at JBRSeaside strolls, buzzing restaurants, and too many bars to count make The Walk a top spot for visitors in search of Dubai’s glitzier side. The sand is never far away from this part of town, and it’s within easy reach of the luxury hotels and nightclubs of Dubai Marina.Read more
- Atlantis Aquaventure WaterparkThe Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark, at Palm Jumeirah’s Atlantis Dubai Resort, is made to handle Dubai’s hot days. World-class slides, a beach, and an aquarium make this the top family destination in the city. The Palm Jumeirah location is also far calmer than some of Dubai’s more central districts.Read more
- Dubai Gold SoukIf you want to camp out in the middle of Dubai’s bling, the gold souk is your chance. Walls of gold jewellery shimmer like a mirage among the vendors.
