Brrrr! Do you feel that? That’s the frigid air that will hit you in two months. But do not worry. There is a place far away, yet easy to reach, where you will completely forget the fear of winter.
Sure, you can stay in the US hoping to find some sun, but where’s the adventure in that? Is telling your friends you went to Orlando as Instagram-worthy as Dubai? Doubtful!
The most modern city in the entire Middle East is ready to embrace you like a warm hug to get you out of the bitter cold in the United States.
Here are 6 reasons why winter is the best time to visit this modern Middle Eastern city:
You can finally visit without melting
Dubai is a great place to visit, but it can be hard to justify a visit in the summer. Sure, saunas have their share of health benefits, but it’s not worth a long-haul flight to Dubai to explore this super sauna.
Stick to your local gym. Those who come in the summer often feel as if they step on the sidewalk with bare feet, they will immediately melt into mud.
The heat is no joke and goes well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit some days! If travelers wait patiently until winter, this time of year is actually the most pleasant in terms of weather.
The winter months tend to average a comfortable 26 degrees, perfect for exploring this immaculate city.
Great sights to discover
It would be difficult to visit Dubai without the tallest building in the world – Burj Khalifa. A sight to behold in itself, but don’t let it overshadow the plethora of other things there is to do.
Dubai is designed to allow tourists to enjoy endless amounts of fun activities. The beauty of Dubai is not just its stunning architecture and vast sea; it’s that everyone can find their niche.
Do you like golfing? You can smash golf balls and pretend it’s your ex’s face towards the impressive skyline of Dubai.
How about hopping on a yacht in one of the most luxurious cities in the world? Yes, you can do that too.
Amusement parks? World famous shopping? Check and check. The list goes on for the time of your life in the desert.
World-class accommodations
Going back to Instagram-worthy destinations, the hotels in Dubai alone will get you all the likes to boost your dopamine for the day.
Many tourist destinations around the world have amazing 4 and 5 star resorts, but did you know there is such a thing as a 7 star resort?
Burj Al Arab is a 7-star resort in Dubai for the ultimate luxury holiday. Clearly this is a small market of people who can afford this place. But we can always dream, right?
Whether or not you can afford a 7-star stay, there are prices you can comfortably spend for a vacation you will never forget.
Look beyond The glitz and glamour
We humans are often drawn to Dubai like moths to a light bulb with its otherworldly skyscrapers and man-made islands.
However, Dubai is a treasure to explore, apart from the glitz and glamour. There is an underlying culture that is often overlooked.
Dubai has an excellent metro system, but prowling the streets in the cool winter weather is the perfect way to explore lesser-known areas overwhelmed by the city’s skyline.
Take the Old City for example. This historic ground floor area sucks you in with its historic charm full of local markets, scenic views and a literal taste of Dubai’s culture before it flourished.
Fun in the sun
Dubai may seem like a vast urban jungle at first glance, but there are some underrated beautiful beaches that will justify your trip around the world to escape the winter cold.
It may not be Cancun or the Greek Islands, but going to the beach is super popular here. The layout of the city is quite unique, where you can spend the day shopping, eating in luxurious restaurants and seeing all the sights, while just steps away from the gigantic skyscrapers you will find beautiful beaches with warm, clear water.
A thriving scene of digital nomads
There are several reasons why digital nomads like to make Dubai their workplace. First and foremost, it is truly a business mecca, where you can easily network and grow your career.
Being a business center, the city is highly equipped with reliable, fast Wi-Fi. Secondly, it is super safe.
Of all the megacities in the world, Dubai could top the list when it comes to safety. And you won’t stand out as much as you think, since English is the most widely spoken language.
Dubai has built a remote workforce-friendly culture, with special programs for those looking for long-term stays.
