Peak season

The desert city of Dubai is one of the seven emirates that comprise the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East. Easily one of the glitziest tourist destinations you can visit, it has more luxury hotels and beach resorts per square km than anywhere else on the planet. When flights to Dubai arrive, visitors know they’ll be living in the lap of luxury for a while. Plus cheap flights to Dubai means a lot of extra money to spend in this first-rate shopping destination – everything you buy in Dubai is duty-free. Dubai has a tropical desert climate so summers are extremely hot and humid with temperatures reaching 40C during the day and overnight lows of 30C. Peak season for travel to Dubai is winter which runs from December through to March, and when temperatures are in the comfortable mid-20Cs.

Off season

June to September is scorching hot, as you would expect from the desert, and not the best time to take flights to Dubai. Although buildings are air conditioned and there is an indoor ski centre, outdoor activities such as riding camels are not enjoyable.

When is the best time to book a flight to Dubai?

Use this chart to determine the optimal time to book a return flight to Dubai. Price data was last updated on 28 January 2024.

The best time to book a flight to Dubai is from October to April to avoid the hottest months of the year, however, this is also peak season when flight ticket prices rise. For the cheapest flights to Dubai look at booking six months in advance with low-cost airlines that fly indirect routes. It pays to note the dates of the holy fasting month of Ramadan which change each year. Muslims fast during the daylight hours from dawn to sunset during Ramadan, and this is strictly adhered to, so it is illegal for anyone to eat or drink in public. For this reason it may be easier to find cheap flight tickets to Dubai and discounted hotel accommodation during this time.
