Weather for Dubai

Best time to visit: 

Year-round sunny skies and warm waters make Dubai especially inviting during the long cold winters of Northern Europe and America. City planners have come up with novel ways of beating the heat and humidity of summer (between late April and early September) with giant air-conditioned malls and enclosed public spaces. Indeed Dubai must be the only city in the world where you can ski a black run in the snow when the outside temperature in 50°C (122°F). For those planning a suntan or a visit to the surrounding desert, however, it’s better to avoid the dangers of midsummer heat and plump for the balmy winter season. Shoppers will be particularly keen to time their visit for the Dubai Shopping Festival (January/February) when the city is abuzz with bargain hunters and party goers.
