Dubai in November
The weather in Dubai in November is just amazing – great for being outdoors all day. As the “winter month” arrives, you can plan a perfect day out at the beach or to shop your heart out.
Alternatively, you can explore the adventure sports in the likes of skydiving, wakeboarding, quad biking, dune bashing or a desert safari or a hot air balloon ride, you can do all this and more with less humidity, making Dubai a great place to visit at this time of the year.
With daily temperatures in the late 20s to early 30s and very little rainfall, the month of November offers the perfect temperature to be outdoors and get that suntan without the roasting heat of the summer months.
