Dubai likes to do things bigger and bolder than most cities. A trip to the City of Gold can encompass everything from fine dining eateries and desert trips to glamorous beach clubs, with the city welcoming 18.72 million visitors in 2024.
The Burj Khalifa and the world’s largest shopping centre, the Dubai Mall, are often on holidaymakers’ lists when visiting the emirate, but there is so much more to see and do, whichever month you choose to visit.
The weather can very much dictate how you spend your time in Dubai: milder, but still warm, winter days bring outdoor adventures. Spring heat is bearable enough to discover the lesser-visited historic landmarks in the city or have a watersports-filled experience in the autumn. Or discover what Dubai has to offer inside its illustrious buildings when the temperatures are scorching in the summer.
As spring approaches, temperatures start to rise but are still pleasant allowing for some cultural exploration of older parts of Dubai. Large attractions, such as the shopping, cultural and entertainment Global Village complex, will stay open until mid-May so visitors can get some time in the outdoor market before it gets too hot.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
While temperatures at the height of summer can climb above 40C, sweltering weather is fairly common at the end of spring – average temperatures in April are around 26C, with average highs of 32C.
Meanwhile, winter serves up pleasant weather in the low 20s, but December can still reach up to 26C – meaning the city is a great winter escape from colder European temperatures. Autumn will deliver you enviable temperatures for the time of year, with daily averages sitting at 29C in October.
