The entire UAE region is known for its sunny climate and desert environment. In Dubai, you find no big difference because the conditions are the same. Many travelers find it hard to bear this extensive heat and humidity and for them, the winter season is the best time to travel to Dubai. How is the winter in Dubai? What should you know when packing for your Dubai tour in winter? Let's find out!

Have you ever been to Sothern California? The weather in Dubai during winter is as pleasant and soothing as the weather in Southern California, and you will surely fall in love with its mild temperatures. You can't often expect to enjoy snowfall when in Dubai during winter, but that doesn't say that snow falling is impossible there. It happens, but very rarely. However, Dubai sometimes experiences dust storms during winter, so you will have to be prepared for this. Since it's dust, this may cause breathing difficulties, and sometimes eye irritations too.

Whatever outerwear you choose to use in Dubai during winter, make sure they are lightly layered. You may have a jacket or a sweater, but keep in mind not to use those that are thick and rough. Also, don't forget that Dubai is a Muslim region regardless of the season you go. So, make sure the dresses you wear suit the Islamic culture and beliefs. Cover your knees and shoulders wherever you go in Dubai, and for this long-sleeved shirts and sarongs will help you a lot.

Will you need sunglasses in Dubai during winter- when it's not too sunny? Well, the answer is yes, and the reason has been explained above as well. Sunglasses are essential especially if you come across a dust storm to protect your eyes. You may also take a scarf with you for added protection.

A shawl will always help you stay extra protected during winter, and this is needed when you want to cover your shoulders when going out in Dubai. As mentioned earlier, choose to take a light sweater and this will ensure you are comfortable throughout the journey.

Can you wear swimsuits in Dubai? Well, yes- but with certain restrictions. Avani Palm View Dubai and many other hotels near Palm Jumeirah allow their guests to wear swimsuits in their pools. Wearing a swimsuit will only be a problem when you go to a public beach, because that may not be allowed considering the Islamic culture. For the safer side, it's recommended to pack a swimsuit coverup also for your trip in Dubai, especially because you are traveling during winter.

When you are packing, make sure whatever you include, be it the shirts, frocks, pants or the skirts, are long enough to cover your shoulders and legs. If you plan to visit a mosque in Dubai, this is an absolute must.

If you are thinking of taking your boots, yes- that's a great idea. But make sure it's not velvet boots. You may take your leather boots without any issue. Sometimes the cold in Dubai during winter tends to get way too unbearable at nights, so it's advisable to take stockings and leggings with you. Choose to have some fancy and cute ones for they will look cuter on pictures.

No matter what the season is, your Dubai tour requires a big hat! so, in winter too, you will need one. Take an umbrella also with you because you can't be too sure that it won't rain, no matter how strong the weather predictions are. Take a pair of gloves as well with you for the safe side, because you may perhaps need the when it's too cold at nights.
