Weather in Dubai

Best time to visit

Year-round sunny skies and warm waters make Dubai endlessly inviting. The heat and humidity of summer (between late April and early September) is offset by giant air-conditioned malls and enclosed public spaces. Indeed, Dubai must be the only city in the world where you can ski in the snow when the outside temperature is 50°C (122°F). If visiting the surrounding desert, it’s better to avoid the midsummer heat and plump for the balmy winter season. Shoppers will be particularly keen to time their visit with the Dubai Shopping Festival (January/February) when the city is abuzz with bargain hunters.
