Is June a good time to visit Dubai?
Only for an indoor holiday: plan malls, museums and indoor attractions, and keep time outside to early morning and after dark. Early June is the easiest part of the summer, before the humidity peaks in July.
Weather in June
Near the coast it feels much hotter than the thermometer says.
Good to know
- Dust and haze come on about 3 days a month: the horizon turns soft, and on windy days sand blows. Outdoor tours may be rescheduled.
- Drink water regularly and take a taxi or the metro even for short distances: walking in the afternoon heat is exhausting.
- Glasses and camera lenses steam up when you step out of air-conditioning; give them a minute.
Sea and beaches
Bath-warmIt does not cool you down: swim early in the morning or in the evening, and use shaded pools at midday.
What to wear in June
- The lightest breathable clothes you have; light colours reflect the sun.
- A hat, sunglasses and SPF 50 for every walk outside, however short.
- A light layer for strongly air-conditioned malls, cinemas and taxis.
- A refillable water bottle.
Dress code all year
- In malls and other public places, cover shoulders and knees; many entrances show a dress-code sign.
- Swimwear is for beaches and pools only; cover up when you leave them.
- To visit a mosque, cover arms and legs; women also cover their hair. Some mosques lend suitable clothing.
- During Ramadan, dress a little more modestly in public.
What happens in June
- Dubai Summer Surprises usually starts in early July.
Views and sunset
Heat and dust often leave a haze over the city, so the horizon can look soft. The sharpest views tend to come after a windy day, and the city lights look best after dark.
For sunset at the top of Burj Khalifa, book an entry around 17:10, about two hours before sunset in the middle of the month.
