[color=violet][/color] HELLO!I AM COMING TO DUBAI ON 10/8 FOR THE FIRST TIME & I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER THERE & SUITABLE CLOTHING&SHOES. THANKS!

Same here - we're heading in the direction of Dubai in a couple of weeks time. Just for a few days though, so really want to make the most of what little time we have.
Would welcome any advice about best things to see & do (day & night) and practical things such as weather, geting around, maybe even costs of eating out.

HI,

The current weather is HOT and HUMID tempratures upto beyond 40 deg centigrade.

Clothes - light colored, cotton, cap a must, sun glasses with UV protection.

For the first timers - the Big bus tour is a must, a visit to the dubai museum, wild wadi water park, ski dubai.

Night time - Go to madinat for a dinner, ample of pubs to hit.

And yes i know u would love to shop so all the shopping malls are gonna be on your hit list city center, mall of the emirates and ibn batuta are a must go.

Hmm thats what came to my mind:) people will add more.

cheers,

J

Jeevan gave you some of the information.

Basically any travel guide you pick up will have all the sites. Once here grab a copy of Time-out-Dubai (for restaurants, clubs and current events).

As to sites etc. check out this thread http://www.dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.ph ... ht=#177009 it mentions many of the sites which some absolute nuts covered in 54 hours but should take a sane person at least a week to do...

Good luck and enjoy.

Damn concord,

Well, you still have some time left to do it. Go for it!

Big bus in the summer? Really? Yes, if you want to get fried being 2-3 hours under the heat with roofless bus
Desert safari also may be a good choice (if you stay in the 4x4 car).

you guys should really try playing paintball in this heat, god bless Pocardi Sweat

Hi,

The previous posts pretty much covered what you can do in Dubai.

If you have time, I would also recommend a trip to Ajman, personally the beach there is great and it's not too far a drive and the place is not as commercialized as Dubai.

Few others: a boat ride around the creek or catching the water taxi's that ply the creek.

For what its worth, this summer has not been as hot as last year.

Hope you have fun.
