Sunbathe, ski, scuba dive, shop, sail… Anything is possible in Dubai! A real life rags to riches story, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has led Dubai to become the city of innovation and surprise. Flamboyant seven-star hotels, word-class restaurants, VIP treatment for every visitor, a skyline like no other – the world’s tallest building and the world’s largest shopping mall. In fact… whatever the heart desires.
John William Bower – a frequent visitor from London to Dubai on business gives us some great recommendations for making the most of a holiday in this extraordinary city.
When is the best time of year to visit?
Dubai is a 24/7, 365 day a year destination and can be visited at all times of the year. July-August are extremely hot with temperatures reaching into the 50s, so I would advise to stay clear of these months. Jet in at spring or autumn when the weather is delightful.
