Dubai weather reviews

Svetlana, May 2023
Dubai is the heart of the United Arab Emirates; if you go, then definitely go there. We got out in May, the weather was already truly summer. During the day it is very hot +35-38°C, the only thing that saves you is a wide-brimmed hat and very dark glasses. The skyscrapers are breathtaking, we have visited so many places, everything is done with taste and luxury. The Dubai Mall is a chic shopping center with plenty of places for shopaholics to roam. Sea water reaches +28°C, swimming is a pleasure. Only at sunset the long-awaited coolness of +25-28°C arrives.

We visited the UAE for the first time, the impressions are certainly off the charts, amazing aesthetics in everything, during the day there are beaches, at night there are parties, and a lot of excursion routes, everyone can find entertainment to their liking. What was unexpected was the temperature of +38°C in May, it was very hot, only the sea saved us, although its temperature was also off the charts +29°C, I have never seen anything like this. And even by night the thermometer did not drop below +28°C. I would like to come again, but not to such hell.

We vacationed in the UAE in Dubai in May 2024. Our trip lasted 10 days. We chose the month of May for vacation not by chance, because we really wanted to relax and see Dubai in the spring, not in the summer, and prices for vacations in Dubai at the end of May were cheaper. But as it turned out, it was in vain. The weather was very hot, the air temperature did not drop below +38 degrees during the day. Water temperature (Persian Gulf) +27+29 degrees. I felt comfortable swimming, but being in the city was not. It is better to devote your vacation in the month of May to shopping, excursions and to those places where there are air conditioners that save you from the sultry heat. To visit Dubai again, I would choose December-January.
