Why Dubai in junio

The real heat begins (highs around 40°C) — the plan is indoors: the Dubai Aquarium, the Museum of the Future, Ski Dubai and the big air-conditioned malls.

Low season leaves the luxury hotels of Palm Jumeirah and Downtown at rock-bottom rates, with Gulf views for a fraction of their winter price.

It's the time for indoor theme parks like IMG Worlds of Adventure and for early-morning beach clubs — outdoor life is best saved for dawn and after dark.

Same place, another month

Dubai is worth visiting other months too

This is the coolest, most pleasant month of the year (highs near 24°C and lows around 14°C) — ideal for the desert, the Jumeirah beaches and Global Village without the summer swelter.

Dubai Summer Surprises continues with the Great Dubai Summer Sale, and the '10 Dirham Dish' (August 3-30) keeps eating out dirt-cheap across the city.
