Best Time to Visit Dubai for Couples

Dubai is a destination that can be visited at any time of the year, however, the period from November to March offers the best comfort. The climate is really nice, the wind feels cool and outdoor activities, for example, taking walks on the beach, going for desert safaris and having dinners on rooftops are all great options.

During a summer visit (June–August), hotter days are to be anticipated, however, the city is still operational as almost all activities are conducted indoors — shopping malls, aquariums, cafes, restaurants, and even skiing. 

Winter is best for those couples who want to discover more while summer is still good for those who want to go for cheaper deals and indoor activities.
