When the snow is just beginning to melt in the native countries of our tourists and the first warm sun rays timidly break through the gray clouds, the tourist season in the UAE is already ending at this time. The middle of spring is considered the best time to visit Dubai for a reason. By booking an April tour, you can see for yourself.

Holidays in Dubai in April: the advantages and disadvantages of the resort

In April, the active stage of receiving foreign tourists ends in Dubai, since May the flow of tourists has sharply declined, as the emirates are covered with intense heat. Reviews about a vacation in Dubai in April make you think about buying a tour immediately. Few holidaymakers remain unhappy after visiting the UAE in mid-spring. The desert safari with quad bike remains one of my favorite pastimes.

Dubai in April has several advantages: End of the tourist season. Hurry up to take the chance to visit the emirate, because until October weather conditions will not allow you to get real pleasure from your vacation. Comfortable air and water temperature. At this time, the optimal weather for a beach holiday is observed in Dubai. Excellent conditions for visiting excursions. The mild heat is also conducive to long walks. Good shopping. Dubai is a duty-free area. Arriving in the emirate, be sure to set aside at least one day for shopping. An abundance of fruits. After a long winter period, our tourists are so lacking in vitamins, but here it will be possible to replenish their supply.

There are practically no drawbacks to spending a vacation in Dubai in the middle of spring. Some tourists call the strong saturation of vacationers a minor disadvantage - foreigners use the last chance to enjoy the eastern sun, so in April it is quite crowded here. Another nuance, which is rare, but still happens, is sudden changes in the weather.

Weather in Dubai in April

In late spring, the UAE is already getting pretty warm. The weather in Dubai in April - May is slowly beginning to signal the onset of extreme heat. In April, the sun is not yet as active as in May, when the heat becomes simply unbearable. The weather in early April is perfect for families with young children - you can swim in the sea and be outdoors for a long time. The temperature in Dubai in mid-April, like the humidity, begins to gradually rise. The risk of sunburn is greatly increased. Some vacationers are not satisfied with the weather in Dubai at the end of April, as the thermometer sharply "soars" upward, reaching the maximum mark possible this month.

Air and water temperature

Dubai's tropical desert climate is characterized by dry, sultry summers with extreme high temperatures and mild, warm winters. In autumn and spring, the country has ideal weather conditions for a comfortable stay. Air temperature in Dubai in April It's already hot enough in the UAE this month. The average daytime and nighttime temperatures in Dubai in April are +32 ° С and +26.7 ° С, respectively. Nevertheless, many tourists note that sharp changes in the weather are possible in April. So just in case, bring a jacket or sweater with you.

Beach Holidays in Dubai

For most tourists visiting the UAE, the priority is just a beach holiday. The calm water surface, the wide coastline with warm sand, the opportunity to get a perfect bronze tan and a huge number of beach activities - all this attracts tourists from all over the world to Dubai.

Jumeirah Open Beach Jumeirah Open Beach is considered one of the best beaches not only in Dubai, but in the entire region. From here a view of the architectural bulk - the Burj-el-Arab hotel opens up, from which it is simply breathtaking. The beach area is equipped with everything you need to relax: there are showers, changing rooms and toilets. Lifeguards are on duty all the time on the territory.

Al Mamzar Beach This beach is located in the Deira area, almost on the very border between Dubai and Sharjah. Excellent infrastructure is guaranteed to provide a comfortable stay. "Al Mamzar" is considered the most landscaped beach, as it is surrounded by a park area. There are special barbecue areas in the park, so here you can not only swim, sunbathe and go water skiing, but also have a great picnic. The entrance to Al Mamzar Beach is paid; you will also have to pay for entering the park by car.

Al Sufouh (Sunset) This area is perfect for lovers of privacy - the beach is rarely crowded. The coast, the sea and the eastern sun will only be at your disposal. The downside is the almost complete lack of infrastructure, that is, you will have to pay for peace of mind with comfort. People come to Al Sufouh to take a break from noisy tourists and feel like a savage.

Excursion holidays in Dubai

The emirate is not in vain the main tourist destination throughout the Middle East. Dubai can be called the city of the future due to the huge number of modern and futuristic architectural objects. But there are places in the city that have retained a bright oriental flavor. Park "Zabil" In early April, the weather is pleasant, you want to spend as much time in the fresh air as possible, so go on an excursion to Zabil Park. Although the green zone is located in the very center of the city, it insulates you well from the noisy Dubai streets. In the park you can play cricket, have a picnic or just take a leisurely stroll along the quaint fountains, there is also a lake where you can rent a catamaran. In addition to the very beautiful nature, "Zabil" is rich in numerous unique architectural objects.

House-palace of Sheikh Said This building is an excellent example of local oriental architecture. There are several exhibitions inside the palace-house, each of which is a separate page in the history of Dubai. The building contains collections of stamps, coins, old geographical maps and historical documents. Tourists can also learn a lot about Bedouin life, pearl mining and oil production.

Historical district of Bastakia Bastakiya is considered one of the main historical landmarks of the emirate. Each local house is equipped with "wind towers" - air conditioning facilities. It used to be believed that the more of these turrets in the house, the richer the family. It is here that you can fully experience the atmosphere of Arab culture. There is practically not a single tree in the area, so if you plan to visit Bastakia in late April, then go here early in the morning and in the evening, so as not to burn out in the sun and avoid sunstroke.

Holidays, events, festivals Holidays in Dubai in April are rare. Official religious holidays in the UAE most often have floating dates, so they do not always fall in April. In April, Dubai hosts such an unusual festival as Middle East Film & Comic Con. As part of this event, costume games, quizzes, contests and film screenings, as well as meetings with Hollywood stars are held.   Every year in the emirate in the middle of spring, various cultural events, exhibitions and performances of stars are held. Therefore, if you want to diversify your vacation by attending a concert, then before the trip, check out the events poster for the month.

How to dress in Dubai

If we talk about the weather, it is already quite warm in Dubai in April, but we still recommend putting one light jacket or sweater in your luggage. Light summer clothes made from natural fabrics, beach shoes - these are the things that will certainly come in handy here in the middle of spring. Be sure to bring a hat and sunglasses. Do not forget also sunscreen - the spring oriental sun can be very insidious. But there is one more nuance that should be considered when collecting things for a trip. Although Dubai is considered the friendliest and most liberal emirate towards tourists, one should not forget that Sharia law is adhered to here. It is better to leave overly revealing outfits at home, as well as bikinis: you need to observe the appropriate dress code on the beaches.
