The most tourist-friendly season lasts from November to April when the average temperature hangs between 18 to 20 °C during daytime. The overall climate is mild and pleasant, slightly on the warmer side, which adds to the beaching experience. There has also been a growth in the demand for short city breaks to Dubai across the remainder of the season as Dubai is a year-round tourist destination. Most of the attractions are indoors and well air-conditioned. Reinforcing these factors is the buzz of crowded shopping malls and amusement parks, which is part of the holiday experience sought by some vacationers.

Price-wise travellers would find the low-season to be very much on their side as far as purchasing cheap Dubai flights are concerned. From June to September, the desert region experiences high temperatures reaching 34 °C on average. Airfares and hotel rates are likely to go down during this time of the year.
