Peak season:
Dubai’s winter, which spans from December through March, is its peak tourism season since temperatures are cooler than those prominent in the hot summers. You may find that flight prices are at their most expensive during this time of the year, but it may be well worth flying to Dubai during the peak season if you’re planning on doing a lot of outdoor sightseeing.
Off season:
Flight prices may be lower from June through September, which is when Dubai experiences its summer. Don’t be put off by scorching temperatures if you want to take advantage of the great flight rates during the off season though: almost all buildings in Dubai are air conditioned, and they even have an indoor ski center to accommodate adrenaline junkies in the heat of summer!
When is the best time to book flights to Dubai?
To ensure you get the cheapest price possible for a flight to Dubai, you should look to book at least 27 days in advance of your intended travel date. The price of your flight may increase if you delay and leave booking until a week or so before departure.
