The Middle East is known for there desert and hot temperatures. Dubai temperature varies throughout the year and summers are unbearable. Some attractions are closed during the summer season. It is advised to check the attraction details on google maps and visit their website for more information. I recommend you to plan your visit from November till March. Winter is always a good time to visit Dubai. Get in touch with me for any assistance with Subject Line: Visit Dubai.

Whether you are a solo traveler, couple, or family or a group of friends Dubai visit will never fail to amaze you. Based on the group size and budget you can book accommodation. The more you pay the more privilege you get. Also price varies from location to location. I recommend to stay in Bur Dubai as it has got good connectivity. You can also look for a hotel apartment if you are planning to cook food on your own. I recommend using a booking.com application for exploring various accommodation options.
