Explore The Wonders Of Dubai

The most pleasant weather – and peak visitor season—is between November and March, when days are sunny and temperatures range from the low 20 °C to the mid-30 °C. These months are ideal for desert safaris, beach days, and outdoor activities.

Shoulder seasons like April, May, and October offer fewer crowds and moderate heat, while summer (June – September) is extremely hot and humid but features lower rates and a wealth of indoor entertainment options.

Visas vary by nationality. Many travellers receive a visa on arrival, usually valid for 30 to 90 days, as long as they have a passport valid for at least six months and an onward ticket.

If your nationality doesn’t qualify for visa-free access, you can apply for a tourist visa via airlines, hotels, or travel agents. There are also transit visas available for stopovers if you meet the necessary requirements.

Dubai is a city of striking contrasts, where modern marvels sit alongside cultural heritage. At the heart of its skyline is the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, offering breathtaking views from its observation decks. Nearby, The Dubai Mall combines designer shopping with entertainment like an ice rink, aquarium, and indoor theme parks. For lovers of art and architecture, the Museum of the Future and Dubai Opera showcase the city’s forward-thinking spirit.

Away from the skyscrapers, visitors can explore the Al Fahidi Historical District, a beautifully preserved neighbourhood of wind towers, museums, and art galleries that reflects Dubai’s past. A stroll along Dubai Creek brings you to traditional souks, where gold, spices, and textiles create a vibrant atmosphere.

For natural beauty, Dubai Miracle Garden is a seasonal highlight with elaborate floral displays, while the Palm Jumeirah offers luxury resorts, beach clubs, and the world-famous Atlantis with its aquariums and waterpark. Families and thrill-seekers alike enjoy IMG Worlds of Adventure, Dubai Parks and Resorts, and the ever-popular Ski Dubai, an indoor ski slope in the Mall of the Emirates.

Dubai is modern and cosmopolitan, but it’s still important to respect local customs. In hotels, resorts, beaches, and pools, normal swimwear and casual holiday clothing are accepted. When visiting shopping malls, souks, or public areas, modest dress is expected – shoulders and knees should be covered, and very revealing outfits are best avoided. At religious sites such as mosques, women are required to cover their hair, arms, and legs, while men should wear long trousers.

Alcohol is legal in Dubai but only in licensed venues such as hotels, restaurants, bars, and clubs. Drinking in public spaces or being intoxicated in the street is not permitted and can result in fines. Non-Muslim visitors are welcome to enjoy drinks in designated places, and many luxury hotels offer extensive wine lists, cocktail bars, and rooftop lounges. For a seamless experience, it’s best to enjoy alcohol responsibly within licensed venues.
