March and April are widely considered the ideal months to visit Dubai. The scorching heat of summer hasn’t yet arrived, offering warm, sunny days perfect for exploring. Discover what makes this shoulder season so special, with a guide to the best things to do in Dubai.
The Best Weather
Yes, Dubai’s dry desert temperatures are present throughout the year. However, March can be nice and windy at times. In April, the temperatures start to rise a little – if the heat gets too intense, stick to indoor attractions or unwind in the best serviced apartments in Dubai.
Building Your Wardrobe
Because of the desert heat, you will want to base your wardrobe on linens and other natural fabrics that help your skin breathe. Also, while the city is fairly relaxed when it comes to dress code, be sure to bring cover-ups and modest wear for spiritual sites and traditional experiences.
Things to Do: Dubai Mall & Aquarium
Located a few minutes by car from accommodations like Damac Maison Aykon City Hotel Apartments, Dubai’s biggest mall blends retail and entertainment on a grand level. Escape the heat by shopping luxury brands, grabbing a bite to eat, or even visiting the colossal aquarium indoors – one of the largest in the world.
Things to Do: Wild Wadi Waterpark
Cool off and have some fun at Wild Wadi Waterpark, one of Dubai’s most popular water attractions. This Arabian-themed waterpark offers a wide range of rides and slides, from the thrilling Jumeirah Sceirah to the relaxing Juha’s Journey lazy river, perfect for families and thrill-seekers alike.
Things to Do: Bedouin Camping
Experience a different side of Dubai with an overnight stay in a traditional Bedouin-style camp. Nestled in the desert, this unique experience allows you to experience authentic Emirati hospitality, enjoy a delicious barbecue dinner under the stars, and even try camel riding or dune bashing.
