Best time to visit
The best time to go on a city trip to Dubai depends on what you're looking for in your trip. Here's a breakdown of the pros and cons of different times to visit:
โจ November to March
This is the coolest and most comfortable time to visit Dubai, with average highs in the low to mid-80s Fahrenheit (around 29-35 degrees Celsius). This is also the peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and larger crowds.
โจApril to May
The weather starts to heat up in April and May, with average highs in the upper 80s to low 90s Fahrenheit (around 31-35 degrees Celsius). Prices start to come down a bit during this shoulder season, and the crowds are not as large as during peak season.
โจJune to September
These are the hottest months in Dubai, with average highs exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit (around 38 degrees Celsius). It's not the most comfortable time to be outdoors, but it's the cheapest time to visit and the crowds are at their smallest.

About me:
I was born and raised in Amsterdam, but the travel bug caught me, and now I split my time between sunny Torrevieja, Spain, and the bustling city of Dubai while traveling the world. My love for city trips started when I was 16, thanks to my mom who made it a tradition to take me to a new city every year. Since then, I've become obsessed with planning perfect trips, finding hidden gems, and hitting all the highlights without wasting any time.
For the past 10 years, I've been a tour guide, leading trips all over the world, and worked at a travel agency where I created trips. I love the planning process and the thrill of visiting a city for the first time with a well-thought-out plan in hand.
I've traveled to over 20 cities and can't wait to explore 20 more. In addition to Amsterdam, I've also lived in San Francisco, Dubai, and of course, Torrevieja. Each of these cities has given me a unique perspective and insider knowledge that I love to share.
