    It is a great time of the year not only to explore Dubai but also Exploring around the Emirates. We suggest that January is the perfect time of the year to make a one -day excursion to:

    • Liwa’s desert – Go beyond Abu Dhabi and towards the Saudi border to experience the rich red dune of the empty room and the historical strong of a past era. It is better to go with an experienced 4 × 4 driver to address giant dunes.
    • The Musandam Peninsula – One country completely another in one day? Why not?! Musandam is our absolute favorite part of the Arabian Peninsula. It is the little enclave of Oman that is northeast of Dubai and the EAU, which stands out on the hormuz line. Here, you can navigate in a traditional boat among the mountainous giants who have won the nickname of “the Norway of Arabia” and enjoy Dolphin staining in a truly magical day, Better approached with a guided tour To carry it through the border crossing process.

The city averages between 10-20 mm or rain in January. There may also be Cloud planting activitythat increases the possibility of rain.

    You can experience a strong duration of a great downpour on its January trip to Dubai, but it will certainly not put a shock absorber in all its trip, with many blue skies in the forecast. We would go to pack an umbrella ‘just in case’; A sun hat and sunscreen will be much more useful.

    This depends on where it goes and what you are doing. In the city of Dubai, you can wait soft days in the mid -20 and cooler nights when you can feel more comfortable with jeans and a sweater.

    We would argue that January is the best month to visit Dubai, as special if you are not a big heat fan and want to explore more than Dubai’s Outdoor attractions.

    The main crowds in Dubai normally dissipate within a new year week. The rest of January is busy but management (we think that if he is a visitor, avoid the key attractions in weekend If you don’t like it!)

    January is on the cold side of a holiday on the beach or the aquatic park, but you will find hotels with heating swimming pools that you can still use.
