Best Time to Visit Dubai
October to April are the best months, with November to February being the pick for those looking for a Dubai honeymoon or wedding. It is exceptionally hot from May to September and is probably not the best time to head there if you plan to sport a bridal gown whilst you're there!
Best Beaches in Dubai
Jumeirah Beach is perhaps the pick, although there are a number of others to choose from. The multiple parks in Dubai provide a welcome alternative to the beach and are well looked after and rightly popular with locals and tourists alike.
For Activity Lovers
Visitors can choose from a plethora of water sports in the warm Gulf Sea and championship level golf courses, or for something a little different try sandboarding. Dubai also boasts one of the world’s largest, and best, indoor ski-slopes.
Local Flavours of Dubai
Cosmopolitan and multi-cultural, Dubai boasts a vast array of foods from around the world. Local cuisine tends to be of the Lebanese variety and meze’s are popular (small dishes comprising food such as houmous, tabbouleh and falafel).
On a Night in Dubai
The nightlife is lively, but sleek and sophisticated rather than pulsating and loud. Wine bars and exclusive clubs are the norm, so Dubai may not be ideal if it's pubbing & clubbing you’re after.
Shopping in Dubai
Befitting Dubai's status as one of the world’s richest places, gold is perhaps one of the best local purchases. Hi-tech goods are also well worth looking at. Dubai is a shopper’s paradise with souks and malls everywhere – if you come back from Dubai with spending money then you've done something wrong!
Top Resorts in Dubai
Dubai is one large city and within it there are a number of districts, but all tend to blend seamlessly with one another. Taxis are plentiful and cheap so it is easy to get around. Dubai is one of those places where we would suggest that you choose which hotel you want to stay in, rather than which area - that said, with the vast majority of hotels rating 3* and upwards, most can provide the perfect location for any couple after a luxurious Dubai honeymoon or overseas wedding.
Out & About in Dubai
The souks and shopping malls (such as the huge Mall of Emirates) are a must. Nad Al Sheba racetrack plays hosts to some of the world’s richest horse races or for something a little different take a trip to see camel racing. A 4WD desert safari is always fun, or for something more sedate, why not go sightseeing and take in the amazing Palm Deira, The World (both are man-made islands in the sea), Jumeira Mosque, Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach hotels (the former looks like a sailboat, the latter like a wave in the sea) or the Burj Dubai – the world’s tallest building.
