What to pack for Dubai in the winter

When visiting Dubai in the winter, it is important to pack clothing that is light and breathable, as temperatures can still reach upwards of 25-30 degrees Celsius during the day.

However, the evenings can be cooler, so it is recommended to bring a light jacket or shawl to layer over your outfit. As Dubai is a Muslim country, it is important to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites or in more conservative areas. This means covering your shoulders and knees, and avoiding sheer fabrics or low-cut tops.

Scarves are also handy to have on hand for covering your head or shoulders when needed. In terms of colors and patterns, neutrals and pastels are always a safe bet, as they are versatile and help to reflect the sun's rays. Light fabrics like cotton and linen are ideal for staying cool while exploring the city, and closed-toe shoes are recommended for walking around in the heat.

Remember to also pack a pair of sunglasses and a hat to protect yourself from the bright sun.

Dubai experiences a subtropical desert climate in the winter months, with mild temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C.

The days are pleasantly warm and sunny, perfect for outdoor activities and enjoying the city's iconic landmarks. However, evenings can get cooler, so layers are recommended for comfort.

Rainfall is infrequent during this time of the year, making it ideal for tourists looking to escape cold winter weather and soak up the sunshine in Dubai's stunning cityscape.
