TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The United Arab Emirates always entices foreign tourists, especially Dubai. Not only because of its vast desert expanse. But also its stunning futuristic cityscape, one of which is the Burj Khalifa, a skyscraper that seems to touch the sky.
To enhance your tourist experience, it is crucial to know the best months to visit. As reported by Travel + Leisure and Audley Travel, here are the best times to visit Dubai.
The Best Time to Visit Dubai in General
According to Audley Travel, September and April are generally the best times to visit Dubai. During these months, the weather in the city is bright but not scorching, and the temperature is relatively cool; the best conditions for tourists from the tired northern hemisphere in the midst of winter.
The period between May and August can be an option, provided you can handle the heat. During this interval, Dubai usually gets hotter. However, the good news is that tourists can enjoy Dubai with fewer crowds and lower hotel prices.
If these months are not suitable for your activities, maybe consider information about peak and off-peak seasons in Dubai below, as shared by Travel+Leisure:
- Peak seasons: November to March
- Shoulder Seasons (Mid-seasons): April to May and September to October
- Off-peak seasons: June to August
The Best Time to Visit Dubai for Fewer Tourists
Shoulder seasons are a must if you want a quieter tourist experience in Dubai. In particular, either April or October. There are two reasons, firstly, during April and October, the number of tourists visiting Dubai is generally lower. The second reason, the weather is generally not as hot as during the summer if you're strolling around Dubai in these two months.
The Best Time to Visit Dubai with Good Weather
Weather is certainly one of the important factors to consider to ensure a smooth tourist trip. For Dubai, when is the weather good?
Being located in the desert region, rain is very rare in the UAE, so the likelihood of sudden cloudy skies is very small. However, the hot temperature may be something that some people cannot tolerate. Therefore, plan a trip between November and March for the best weather in Dubai.
But if you want to experience the Dubai heat sensation, without experiencing a heat stroke, months like April, May, and October can be an option.
Best Time to Visit Dubai for Festival and Other Events Experience
For a livelier tourist experience in Dubai, with a lineup of interesting festivals and events, you can visit during winter and spring. For example, there is a contemporary art exhibition called Art Dubai, which is usually held in March or April. Horse racing enthusiasts can witness the Dubai World Cup, which generally takes place in early April.
Meanwhile, during winter, Dubai holds the Dubai Shopping Festival, usually from mid-December to mid-January, which allows tourists to participate in shopping events to concerts and public art installations.
Not only that, Ramadan is also the best month to visit Dubai, especially for culinary enthusiasts. The month when Muslims fast always changes every year. However, during Ramadan, restaurants never fail to serve a variety of tempting cuisines that shouldn't be missed.
