Best Time to Visit Dubai for a Honeymoon
The most pleasant time to visit Dubai for a honeymoon is from November to March, which is the winter season. However, if you’re looking to avoid the peak season or are thinking about some other time in the year, no worries.
Below, we have briefed you on the kind of experience you will have when you visit Dubai during these seasons.
Winter (November to March) – The Ideal Honeymoon Season
- Ideal Weather: The winter season in Dubai has comfortable, mild temperatures, which is perfect for honeymooners exploring the city.
- Peak Season: Since this is the ideal period for traveling to Dubai, this is the peak season, which means the prices will be high and it will be crowded everywhere.
- Events: The Abu Dhabi Film Festival and Dubai Shopping Festival are organized during winter.
- Romantic Activity: Experience luxurious desert retreats in Dubai.
- Temperature: The temperatures range between 20°C and 30°C during the daytime, with cooler nights.
Shoulder Season (April - May & September - October) – Less Crowds, Balanced Weather
- Fewer Crowds: If you want to spend less than the peak season but are also looking for pleasant weather, the shoulder season is perfect for you.
- Temperature: The temperatures are high but comparatively lower than in the summer season.
- Deal Time: Since it is less crowded, you may get better deals on accommodation and flights during the shoulder season.
Summer (June to September) – Budget-Friendly but Extremely Hot
Ideal for Indoor Activities: Due to extreme heat, the summer months are the best for indoor activities like shopping at the Dubai Mall or enjoying Ski Dubai.
Unpleasant Weather: Temperatures rise above 40°C, which makes it almost impossible to go out during the daytime.
Deals: With barely any crowds, it’s the perfect time for deals on accommodation and flights.
