Does British Airways fly direct to Dubai?

What’s the cheapest month to fly to Dubai?

The best months for travelling to Dubai are between October and March, as milder temperatures offer a respite from the scorching heat of the summer. This is an ideal time to visit outdoor attractions and enjoy the beaches. However, Dubai is a year-round destination and is well prepared to withstand the heat if you want to visit in the summer. Use our low fare finder to discover the cheapest time to visit Dubai.

Is Dubai cheap to visit?

You can make a trip to Dubai fit any budget. Tick off free attractions like Jumeirah Beach, Dubai Fountain and Dubai Marina Walk. You can also sample delicious street food at local markets or discover the city’s affordable dining options. Use public transportation and explore the city's cultural heritage in the Al Fahidi Historic District and the bustling Gold and Spice Souks.

When's the best time to visit Dubai? 

Dubai is warm all year round. October to March are great months to visit with temperatures at a comfortable 24°C to 28°C during the day and low humidity. 

From April it starts to warm up with June, July and August seeing temperatures reach 40°C, but Dubai is built for the heat. With climate-controlled malls, hotels, transport and attractions this is still a great time to visit. You’ll also find accommodation prices are lower and there are fewer tourists during the summer months.

Is it easy to get around Dubai?

Once you land in Dubai International Airport, the city is just four kilometres away. You can catch a taxi, bus, train or even use the waterway network to reach your destination with ease. All services run 24 hours a day, so there’s no need to worry about landing later in the day.
