The United Arab Emirates are characterized by a subtropical, dry and above all hot desert climate with significant temperature fluctuations between day and night. So it is extremely hot between May and October - here the temperatures during the day rise up to 100-120°F! Between November and April, however, there are pleasant temperatures between 70-90°F, with very little rainfall.
The best time for an adventure in the United Arab Emirates is therefore between November and April, when it is a bit cooler and less humid. During this time you can also experience some great festivities: Dubai International Film Festival between November and December, the Dubai International Jazz Festival between February and March and the Dubai World Cup - the famous horse race between March and April.
