Is Dubai right for you?

Dubai can be a beach holiday, city break or resort stay depending on the area selected. Hotel prices and experiences differ sharply between inland city locations, beachfront resorts and Palm Jumeirah properties, so location should be compared alongside star rating.

When to go

The cooler months are popular for outdoor sightseeing and beaches. Summer brings very high temperatures but can offer different hotel pricing. Religious observances, events and school holidays can affect opening patterns and demand.
