The Best Time to Visit Dubai

- Best Time for Sightseeing

When it comes to Dubai, the city is either hot or hotter than that- there is no in-between. The summers, particularly in July and August, are known for the scorching heat and the impossibility to step outside for more than a few minutes at a time, not to mention the pressing humidity. Another reason for these months to be a big no for your vacation is that the holy month of Ramadan falls between May and June, thus throughout the day all malls, stores, and most of the schools and universities remain closed, giving it the city a secluded, deserted look.

So, if sightseeing is on your mind, then the best time to visit Dubai is between mid-November and early December. The first half of March is another option for you, with the daytime temperature averaging at about 30 degrees Celsius and with an apparent drop in temperature in the evening, you are free to plan a stroll through the city, post 5 pm.

As January and February are the peak tourist months owing to the famous Dubai Shopping Festival, visiting Dubai in the above mentioned months gives you the chance to experience the city without the hassle of navigating through a thick crowd. The pleasant temperature is an additional perk that will add that forever quality to your trip.

- Best Time to Visit Burj Khalifa

A visit to Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, needs some serious consideration on your behalf as the timing of your visit needs to be just perfect, when it is the prime symbol of architectural innovation you will be admiring. The most sought-after time to visit the gigantic beauty is just before sunset and the location is particularly crowded during the winter months so the best time for your visit will be during the summer months. You can avoid the big crowds and never-ending long lines.

But if your heart is set on visiting Burj Khalifa during the winters, then it is advisable that you purchase your tickets beforehand, preferably two to four weeks in advance. Even then, chances are that you will have to stand in line, with your ticket in hand, and wait for your turn. The best idea would be to purchase a ticket an hour before sunset, ensuring that no matter how long the line is, you’ll not miss out on viewing a mesmerizing sunset from atop the Burj Khalifa.

- Best Time for Shopping

Though, primarily known as the land of architectural wonders, Dubai is also renowned as one of Asia’s top shopping destinations. With its perk of items being ‘tax-free’, it has become a haven for shopaholics, both local and from abroad. The city consists of both high-end venues and affordable shopping options, so you can either indulge in luxury shopping at some of the best opulent shopping malls or try your bargaining skills at Dubai’s famous souks and take home some quality products at pocket-friendly prices.

Termed as a one-stop-shopping hub, Dubai has everything from international brands to local handicrafts.

Touted as one of the most thrilling experiences that the city has to offer, Dubai’s Desert Safari is one of the most sought-after action adventure activities. Blessed with sprawling endless deserts, Dubai's famous Desert Safari is not merely a recreational activity, but also has other modern amenities, including dinner & entertainment. With countless options of desert safari available across the city, you are free to indulge in anything- be it quad biking, sandboarding, or just enjoying some authentic Arabian food, coupled with belly dancing performances and other entertaining performances.

As for the right time in a day for Desert Safari, depends more on your preferences- if you are more inclined towards adventure sports like sandboarding and quad biking, then opting for a day trip is ideal. Entertainment performances, delicious dinners, and other equally alluring activities make up the evening schedule.

- Best Time for Enjoying the Beaches

Say Dubai and the first thing that comes to mind is the soothing warmth of the sun, the beautiful sandy beaches, the blue skies, and clear waters, enticing us to spend a lifetime there. A perfect destination if you are planning a holiday in the sun, Dubai has countless options for you to choose from, be it the wondrous Kite beach or the glorious Burj Al Arab. Go surfing, enjoying watersports, long-walks on the beach, witnessing nature at its best and voila! The best holiday, ever!

Though, you are free to visit the beaches throughout the year, taking a dip in the cold waters during the winter would be a ‘chillingly’ bad idea. The same holds true for the summers when the scorching heat makes the sand the last place you would walk on. So, your best bet is the months of April and May, when the temperature fluctuates between 25°C to 28°C, allowing you to enjoy your time at the beach to the fullest.

Best Season to visit Dubai

- High Season (November through April)

As we have mentioned in the previous section, the period from November to April, i.e., late autumn through early spring, is the preferred time of arrival for most of the tourists, who are looking for a quiet and scenic experience of the city. So, the accommodation rates are pretty high, owing to a large number of reservations.

A clear, blue sky, gentle water, cool wind, the warmth of the sun- in all, wonderful and amazing weather will greet you if you choose these months for your trip. The calm weather gives you plenty of opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities, stroll through the city, have picnics and long walks on the beach, not to mention go on the famous Desert Safari.

With temperatures ranging from 23 to 36 degrees Celsius, May is considerably hotter than November but it is merely the start of the summer in Dubai. Thus the temperature spike is bearable and is rather ideal for swimming. Less crowded and with plenty of options in accommodation rates, May is another best month to visit Dubai.

While the month of September observes days which are hot and humid, late afternoons are perfect for a beach visit. By October, the temperature lessens a bit, hovering near a tolerable 29 degree Celsius, allowing you to partake in outdoor activities.

- Low Season (June through August)

Though these months observe a significant drop in accommodation rates, this is not the best season to visit Dubai. The temperatures are soaring, the humidity is at its all-time high, with even the evenings experiencing heat waves. Assuming that spending your time inside your hotel room is not your plan, it would be better to sidestep these months while planning your visit to Dubai.

Also, the festival of Ramadan falls during these months, where you are not allowed to eat, drink, or smoke for 30 days in public. Even if you are not fasting, you have to adhere to this law.

Best time to visit Dubai by Month
- January

With temperatures ranging from 19 degrees Celcius to 20 degrees Celsius, January is considered as the best month to visit Dubai. The water may be too cold for some to take a dip, but for some, coming from the land of the scorching sun, i.e., Southern Asia, it would be a brief respite. While the afternoons are perfect for a day out in your summer clothes, a light sweater is advisable to seek protection from the moderately cold evenings, making winters the best season to visit Dubai.

Remember to pack your sunglasses and sunscreen as you’ll be greeted with the sun, shining brightly over you, for more than eight hours straight.

Average Max temperature: 24 degrees Celsius

Average Precipitation: 10mm

Temperature Range: 19 - 20 degrees Celsius

- February

Both the amount of precipitation and the temperature increase in the month of February, with the temperature, gradually rising to 24 degrees Celsius or even 30 degrees Celsius and an average rainfall of 40mm over four days towards the end of the month. So, remember to plan your trip accordingly, keeping the temperature and rainfall in mind.

The sea temperature may be too cold for some at 21 degrees Celsius, so it is preferable that you bring along your bathing suit, after all, prevention is better than the cure. Again, the afternoons are perfect for your summer clothing, with the evening demanding the caution of a light sweater or shawl.

Average Max temperature: 25 degrees Celsius

Average Precipitation: 35mm

Temperature Range: 20-25 degrees Celsius

- March

As March rolls in, the temperature of Dubai considerably rises with the arrival of spring. Hovering around 27 degrees Celsius, the month of March is the best time of the year to visit Dubai.

The items that a must-have for a trip to Dubai in the month of March are sunscreen and sunglasses, to shield yourself from the direct rays of the sun. You may or may not bring a bathing suit as the sea temperature, at 22 degrees Celsius, is warm enough for a swim. Also, the chances of rain dampening your trip lessen as well, as the amount of precipitation goes down to just 10mm over six days. This is the month to explore the vibrant city of Dubai, peeps!

Average Max temperature: 26 degrees Celsius

Average Precipitation: 10mm

Temperature Range: 17 - 28 degrees Celsius

- April

If the subtle heat of March wasn’t enough for you, get ready for the budding heat of April, where the temperatures soar as high as 40°C. Precipitation is rather unlikely as the average rainfall recorded throughout the year in the month of April has just been 10mm over two days.

Kindly ditch the idea of sunbathing for long hours as the intense temperature may cause some serious burns. But if you plan to brave the scorching heat, it would be better to wear a wide-brimmed hat, strong UV-filtered sunglasses, and rub high SPF sunscreen on your body. The only perk is the perfect sea temperature i.e., 25 degrees Celcius, which allows you to take a dip in the clear waters without a second thought.

Average Max temperature: 33 degrees Celsius

Average Precipitation: 10 mm

Temperature Range:19 - 32 degrees Celsius

The heat is at its peak now, with temperatures even exceeding 42 degrees Celsius. The evenings are a bit warm as well and with little to no rain, there is hardly any respite from the burning rays of the sun that sets around 7 pm. Hardly the best month to visit Dubai.

So, loose cotton clothes, including shorts is what will be in your luggage, along with tubes of sunscreen and regular dips in the sea to avoid combusting on the spot if you are planning to stay outside, despite the unbearable heat waves.

Average Max Temperature: 38 degree Celsius

Average Precipitation: 10mm

Temperature Range: 23 - 36 degrees Celsius

- June

With rare precipitation like in the last month, June can be crowned the king of sweating and scorching temperature, which takes sudden leaps from 33 degrees Celcius to 38 degrees Celsius, and even sky-rocketing to 43 degrees Celcius in the afternoon.

The brief respite you got from taking a swim in the sea is also unavailable as the sea temperature also spikes, hovering around 31 degrees Celsius. So, the only option you have is to spend your holidays indoors- in hotel rooms, shopping malls, and restaurants, which are air-conditioned and have temperatures capable of freezing your toes permanently. Thus, for indoors you better bring a light jacket and plenty of loose clothes for when you step out briefly.

Average Max temperature: 36 degrees Celsius

Average Precipitation: 10mm

Temperature Range: 26 - 38 degrees Celsius

The sea temperature increases to 32 degrees Celsius, making it impossible to take a swim, but you can pack a bathing suit just in case. Once again, your luggage must include loose linen or cotton clothes, multiple tubes of sunscreen, sunglasses, and sandals to save your feet from the burning ground and a light sweater for the freezing indoor temperatures.

Average Max temperature: 35 degrees Celsius

Average Precipitation: 10mm

Temperature Range: 31 - 41 degrees Celsius

- August

Though the hotels are very cheap and provide countless discounts and offer in this month, August is not the best month to visit Dubai as the average high is now a whopping 41 degrees Celsius, with even the night having a temperature of 30°C.

Going out to the beaches is a big no and with the temperature of the sea around 33 degrees Celsius, opting for a swim is also out of the list. The indoors temperature is yet again set at a freezing degree, which needs light woollen clothing. While staying cooped up inside may sound like a terrible idea, Dubai is well-prepared to not let your attention wane with its plethora of indoor activities.

Average Max Temperature: 36 degrees Celsius

Average Precipitation: 10mm

Temperature Range: 37 - 44 degrees Celsius

- September

In September, Dubai starts experiencing the beginning of a dip in temperature, the maximum limit is 38 degrees and the minimum is 27 degrees Celsius. Though the chances of rainfall are still minimal, the weather cools down slightly.

But even then, it is still unbearably hot and humid, so staying indoors is the only option you have, at least for the first half of the month. As September progresses, nearing its end, the days get shorter and cooler. As a precaution, do apply loads of sunscreen before venturing out in the second half of the month as well.

Average Max temperature: 33 degrees Celsius

Average Precipitation: 10 mm

Temperature Range: 37 - 31 degrees Celsius

- October

Your packing is still adhering to the summer clothing style, with loose, light cotton or linen shirts, a bathing suit, and sunscreen. With a temperature around 35 degrees Celsius, October allows you to enjoy a swim in the sea as even the water temperature cools down to 30 degrees Celsius.

Relishing alfresco dining becomes an available option again. But October is still hot and the precipitation level is still low, with hopes of merely 10mm of rain over the month.

Average Max Temperature: 29 degrees Celsius

Average Precipitation: 10mm

Temperature Range: 22 - 35 degrees Celsius

- November

The temperature considerably cools down in November averaging around 25 degrees Celsius but rainfall is still scant, with just 10mm precipitation over the month. Considered the best month to visit Dubai, the accommodation rates also start increasing along with the crowd.

While your luggage is more or less the same as the last few months, the dip in temperature allows you to indulge in outdoor activities once again- long walks and picnics on the beach, swimming, and other entertainment options. Lathering a layer of sunscreen, wearing sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat is still advised to avoid sunburns and escape the heat.

Average Max Temperature: 25 degree Celsius

Average Precipitation: 2.7mm

Temperature Range: 18 - 31 degrees Clesius

- December

With an average temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, December is our favorite as the maximum temperature doesn’t cross 26 degrees Celsius and rainfall increases to 20mm over four days at the end of the month. As the sea temperature dips to 23 degrees Celsius, you can now plan extensive walks and picnics on the beaches and enjoy the perfect swimming experience a.k.a. the best time to visit Dubai.

Now, your light sweater won’t be useful just for indoors as the evening would be considerably cooler. But just because it is colder doesn’t mean you forget your sun protection as the sun is still shining brightly in the sky for eight hours straight.

Average Max temperature: 25 degrees Celsius

Average Precipitation: 20mm

Temperature Range: 23-27 degrees Celsius
