What to Wear in Dubai During March
March is when the weather starts getting much warmer. Dress for warm to very warm afternoons with comfortable nights. Wear clothing that covers your shoulders and your knees.
Do not wear clothes that are too tight or too revealing for both men and women. Women can wear long dresses, tops, shirts, t-shirts, pants, and jeans.
It is best to avoid wearing any sleeveless shirts, sleeveless dresses, mini-skirts, and short shorts. For the cooler nights or trips near water or in the desert, make sure to pack a pair of long pants/long skirt and a sweater.
Things to Do in Dubai During March
The weather should begin to heat up this month, but that doesn't mean it'll be too hot to enjoy some of the best activities in this city. As always, it'll undoubtedly be a good time to take a pay-what-you-wish Dubai walking tour.
March will mark the 10th edition or the Sikka Art & Design Festival, and there will be all kinds of events taking place in celebration, including movie screenings, workshops, and more.
If it does get hot enough, you might want to consider a trip to one of Dubai's water-based theme parks such as Aquaventure Waterpark or LEGOLAND Waterpark, both included with the Go City Dubai Pass.
