Escape the winter blues with cheap new year breaks from Travelbag! It's thoroughly wintery here in the UK in January and February, but you can escape the chills and the long nights in Dubai. It takes less than 7 hours to fly direct from the UK and Dubai enjoys average temperatures of 24 Degrees Celsius in January. So don't forget to pack your shorts, t shirts and beach towels.
Dubai is a city of skyscrapers, renowned for its grandeur luxury and breathtaking architecture. Tradition meets modern amenities in this part of the world and it's possible for tourists to enjoy the Arab culture while indulging in state of the art hotels and facilities.
Here are just a handful of many things you can do in Dubai:
The emirate of Dubai has quickly transformed itself from a vast desert to a tourist playground. A sprawling metropolis, it is a unique destination and one that takes a lot of thought when it comes to packing.
Firstly, get your sunscreen and hat in the suitcase because the sun is scorching in Dubai and it doesn’t take much to burn. Similarly, the clear, blue skies mean that sunglasses are essential for protecting your eyes from the glare.
With the sticky weather outside, it is important to remember that the malls are often air-conditioned to the point where a light jacket may be needed. Try to be modest, as is the culture there, when dressing with skirts and shorts below the knee and elbow-length sleeves on shirts. Make sure that you get breathable fabrics; loose cottons and linens are ideal.
On your feet, go for flip flops and sandals but keep in mind that trips like sandboarding, desert safaris and camel rides will need comfortable, closed footwear. In the evening, natives will be dressed up so make sure you have smart clothing for going out to bars and restaurants; especially if you’re hitting the clubs.
Found in the Northern desert belt, Dubai has intensely hot and humid summers with warm winters to boot. The months of June through September all have average highs around 40ºC with lows of little less than 30ºC in the evenings. This, combined with the high humidity, can make the emirate sticky and uncomfortable at times.
January is the coldest month and that still has an average high of 24ºC with a low of just 14ºC. During the winter months, between December and March, Dubai can get thunderstorms and the odd shower with the wettest month of February averaging 35 millimeters of rain.
The tropical desert climate means that whenever you go you can expect Dubai to be warm and sunny but it does fluctuate a little.
