The best time to visit Dubai is during the winter months, which is from November to early April. This period offers more pleasant weather as the scorching summer heat has subsided, making outdoor activities and sightseeing more enjoyable. During these months, you can expect daytime temperatures ranging from around 20°C (68°F) to 30°C (86°F), with cooler evenings.

Dubai hosts a variety of events and festivals throughout the year. Here are a few notable ones to consider:

1. Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF): Typically held in January and February, DSF is a major shopping event with massive discounts, entertainment shows, and fireworks. It's a great time for shopping enthusiasts.

6. Dubai Summer Surprises: Contrary to the winter months, if you're planning to visit in the summer (June to August), you can experience the Dubai Summer Surprises, which offers sales, promotions, and family-oriented events.
