The best time of the year to visit Dubai is between November and April, when the weather is coolest. Ramadan, which takes place at a different time each year on the western calendar, is the Muslim month of fasting  and is strictly adhered to throughout the UAE. That means that it’s illegal, not to mention rude, to eat, drink or smoke in public from sunrise to sunset during your stay While Dubai’s official language is Arabic, many people speak English,  particularly those who are in business or commerce.

 

Dubai is an incredible place to shop. You can explore everything from modern shopping malls to traditional souks to markets.  As a result of Dubai’s low custom duties, goods purchased in Dubai may be less expensive than goods purchased in other countries.  For great shopping experiences, try to visit Bur Juman Centre and Al Ghurair Centre.
