Dubai Vacation: The Best Time to Visit
Dubai is known for its hot desert climate, and the best time ultimately depends on the preference of the tourists and what they want to do during their vacation in the city.
From April to October in Dubai, the temperatures increase to more than 40°C.
Avoid visiting during this time if you cannot deal with this kind of humidity. It is great for people who want to travel to Dubai on a budget as many hotels and airlines offer discounts to attract tourists.
November to March in Dubai often have cooler temperatures and are more manageable. During these months, daytime ranges between 24°C to 30°C, where the weather is pleasant and cool.
This makes it perfect for people who love outdoor activities such as desert safaris, swimming, and dune bashing. However, it is also considered the peak months, making everything expensive and there is a lot of crowds. To enjoy your vacation during this season, book Dubai tour packages from India well in advance.
Essentials to Carry During Your Dubai Visit
Many people often advocate for packing light when travelling, however, you need to pack right if you want to have a blast throughout your trip. To help you with that, here are some of the things to pack when preparing for your journey.
Clothes
Dubai is known for its culture and religion, so you want to respect all that while still feeling comfortable in anything you wear. Choose clothes that are culturally acceptable, versatile and modest.
You can categories each item of clothing based on the activities you want to do each day. Do not forget to carry comfortable footwear for city tours. Carry sunglasses, a hat and a light scarf if visiting the desert is part of the itinerary in your Dubai tour packages.
Simple First-Aid Kit
A simple first-aid kit is a must for everyone when travelling in case of medical emergencies. Remember, accidents or changes in your body can happen at any time even when you are well prepared for the journey. Being ready for medical emergencies and unforeseen circumstances will make your trip seamless and worry-free.
Travel Sized Toiletries
Toiletries are a must for personal hygiene when traveling as many people are sensitive to different products and smells. To make it easier, get a travel and refillable size of all your essential toiletries to save space. For tourists with any skin condition, pack sufficient items you need to avoid any emergencies or severe reactions to other or unfamiliar products.
Travel Document
You cannot leave your country or board a flight without your passport. That might not be enough, especially if you are planning to lay over in another country and want to explore the country. By securing all the essential documents before your trip, you will save yourself from inconveniences that could be avoided.
Ensure all your travel papers and other important documents are complete and updated. Also, get travel insurance to be compensated in case of unexpected trip cancellations or accidents.
