In the evening, the temperature cools down to 8 degrees Celsius and with an expectation of some wetness for two days with rainfall below 0.6 inches.

For luxury hotels options include Burj Al Arab, The Palm, Al Qasr, Atlantis, One & Only Royal Mirage, Ritz Carlton, Kempinski, and Sofitel The Palm.

Getting around

Hailing a taxi is one option to get around. However, these can be quite expensive. Alternatively, buses are available to get around the city. These are cheap and have Wi-Fi. Another budget-friendly option is the Dubai Metro. This mostly runs above the ground offering amazing scenic views of the skyline. The Dubai Water Taxi is another option that offers a unique experience.

If you have enough to spend, you can have a first class experience using a concierge app. This will come in handy to book a private jet, yacht, or chauffeur service. This is a wonderful idea to get around Dubai safely and with utmost privacy. Using the concierge service is convenient with an app that can also help you book where to dine or party from at night.

Dubai is a wonderful travel destination all year round. However, it just gets better in December with less heat to bear with.
