While the whole year, leaving out summer, is considered suitable for a trip to Dubai, winters are said to be the best time of all. It is the peak time for tourism for several reasons, too. The winter season ranges from November to March in Dubai and is considered the best time when the weather is pleasant and the sun rays are pretty bearable for outdoor visits. If you are planning a trip to Dubai during the winter, here are a few of the special places to visit apart from the common sightseeing options.
- A View from the Burj Khalifa
Winter mornings are the perfect time to reach out to Burj Khalifa and witness the whole city from a height. The sun’s intensity is low during this season, and you can feel more comfortable getting a fantastic view.

- An Evening at the Dinner Cruise
Book your seats at the dinner cruise in Dubai Marina with your friends and family to enjoy 2 2-hour mesmerizing voyage. While the cruise dinner notifies the guests to be in semi-formal and non-revealing attire as an etiquette, you must also keep an extra jacket as the atmosphere on the deck may get chilly during the winter late evenings. The cruise deck allows you to enjoy a view of the lit-up cityscape in the most beautiful way.
Also, the cruise organizes a great buffet with multicuisine dishes and a live performance of the traditional art to provide you with a glimpse of Dubai’s hospitality and culture.
- Hot Air Balloon Ride
Hold your breath and get onto a hot air balloon that will take you to a height of about 225 meters. Winters are perfect for this activity, as you will not feel extreme perspiration that you would have felt otherwise in other months of the year.
- A Visit to the Man-made Island
When you are here in Dubai, you must not miss out on checking out the first man-made island, Palm Jumeirah. You might take an aerial view of this island during your hot air balloon ride. Also, visit this place to see the human talent that built this artificial island.
- Desert Safari
You cannot miss out on the desert safari when you are in Dubai. One of the reasons why the winters are considered best for a Dubai visit is that you can go for a desert safari comfortably. Even when the sun is out there in the sky, the intensity of heat will be low compared to summer. So, you can enjoy the activities on the golden sand much more comfortably than in summer or any other time of the year.
Apart from these activities, there are many other things to do when you visit Dubai during the winter. Take a walk around the Magical Garden with your kids comfortably, or visit the beach for extra tanning. There is so much to do in Dubai that the list does not end. So, choose the best options as per your choice so that you can enjoy the most of your trip.
