Tour Plan
Dubai is a modern city, but we recommend dressing modestly out of respect for local culture. Lightweight, loose-fitting clothing that covers the shoulders and knees is ideal for both comfort in the heat and for visiting cultural sites. While casual, respectful attire is fine in most areas, overly revealing clothing should be avoided in public places like markets and squares.
The best time to visit Dubai is during the cooler winter months, from October to April. During this period, the weather is sunny and pleasant, making it perfect for exploring the city’s outdoor attractions comfortably. The summer months from May to September are known for being very hot and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F).
Dubai is widely regarded as one of the safest cities in the world, with a very low crime rate and a high standard of security. It is extremely safe for all tourists, including families and solo female travelers. Visitors can explore the city’s many attractions, use public transportation, and walk around in the evenings with a great sense of comfort and peace of mind.
Our city tour is designed to be comfortable and enjoyable for all ages. Much of the tour is conducted from our modern, air-conditioned vehicle to ensure your comfort. The walking portions of the tour, such as through the souks and historical areas, are done at a very leisurely pace, making the tour generally suitable for older travelers and families.
