The Peak Tourist Season and Famous Attractions in Dubai

Although Dubai is a very famous tourist city, its climate features are not very especially in summer. Dubai's climate belongs to subtropical type and is quite extreme, with summer temperatures sometimes reaching over 50 degrees Celsius. Although it hardly rains at all, the humidity is often very high in summer. Therefore, Dubai's summer is extremely hot and humid, which is really hard to accept for people who do not live for a long time there. Therefore, summer is definitely the off-season for tourism in Dubai. In contrast, the climate in winter is much milder. The average temperature in Dubai in winter is around 20 degrees Celsius, which is neither too cold nor too hot, making it very suitable for travel. Therefore, Dubai's climate characteristics make winter a well-deserved peak tourist season. However, it is worth noting that despite the climate is mild in winter, sandstorms are frequent. And sandstorms often last for several days once they occur. But since the weather forecasting technology has become more and more mature, sandstorms can be predicted relatively accurately. As long as you avoid sandstorms during your travel plans, Dubai is still a city worth visiting. Among them, the most famous tourist attractions include:

🪩Burj Khalifa Tower: You don't even need to see the tower's majestic appearance; its reputation as the tallest building in the world is enough to attract attention. If you come to Dubai for a trip, the Burj Khalifa is definitely the first attraction you need to visit. You can enjoy the large shopping mall inside, or you can experience the joy of climbing to the top by sightseeing elevator.

🪩Burj Al Arab: Because of its sail-like shape, the Burj Al Arab is also known as the Sail Hotel, which may be a name you are more familiar with. If you want to experience the ultimate luxury living, then this world's only seven-star hotel is definitely not to be missed! Even if you don't stay at this hotel, coming to see this towering “sail” will bring you unforgettable memories!

🪩Palm Islands: If you want to experience all kinds of leisure and entertainment projects, Palm Island is definitely your paradise! Aquariums, water parks, shopping malls, hotels... Almost all the modern entertainment projects you can recall can be found on this artificial island!

🪩Dubai Museum: If you are interested in history and culture, the Dubai Museum is one of the attractions you cannot miss! This museum is located in Al Fahidi Fort, the oldest existing building in Dubai, and exhibits antique artifacts and the changes in urban culture over the centuries.

Dressing Taboos in Dubai

Maybe you have long wanted to travel to Dubai, but have been held back by some stereotypes. Located in the UAE, a typical Islamic country, do women in Dubai still have to wear abaya and headscarf that cover their bodies and faces, even in the hot summer? As a tourist, do I need to follow the dress code for local women? In fact, although abayas and headscarves are still traditional attire often worn by women in Dubai, women's attire has gradually changed to become more professional, casual or fashionable in the workplace, leisure and fashion occasions. For example, at work, women tend to wear more formal suits, and on casual occasions, it is also acceptable to wear more comfortable shirts, jeans, dresses, etc. Nowadays, as Dubai has become an internationally renowned tourist city, more and more fashion events are being held in Dubai, and local women's clothing has also incorporated more and more modern fashion elements. As a tourist, you certainly don't need to strictly follow the many dressing codes for local women. However, there are still many dressing taboos that need to be paid special attention to.

🪩Although the dressing codes for women in Dubai has become slacker, overly revealing and tight clothes are still considered inappropriate on most occasions. Therefore, it is still recommended that female tourists wear long and loose skirts, pants, tops, etc. in public places. It is better to avoid clothing that exposes the navel, shoulders, back, etc.

🪩If you don't understand Arabic, try to avoid wearing clothes with words on them to avoid ambiguity, misunderstanding or even offense caused by the words on the clothes.

🪩If you are going to visit religious sites such as mosques, you may need to follow stricter dressing codes. In many mosques, you can't even show your arms, legs, neck, and ankles. Therefore, you will need to prepare a robe and headscarf before visiting.

🪩It is acceptable for women to wear bikinis in swimming pools and water parks, but when leaving these places, you need to put on other clothes in time.

🪩Slippers are not allowed when entering some religious occasions or high-end restaurants. You need to wear neater and more decent shoes. For the comfort of travel, more suitable shoes are soft-soled sports shoes, canvas shoes, etc. If you want to attend a party in a high-end restaurant, you need high heels or leather shoes.

Tips on Outfits for Different Tourist Attractions in Dubai

Fashionable and elegant outfits for the Burj Khalifa
