One of the most chosen global tourist destinations, Dubai attracts visitors around the year. Of course, the winter months or the Christmas-New Year week sees the maximum visits happening. With seemingly endless attractions, Dubai never loses its magnetic charm.
A visit to Dubai in June is worth?
Does that sound illogical, considering the punishing Dubai summers? Daytime temperatures can push up to 40 degrees centigrade, with humidity anything between 25% and 90%.
Well, the Dubai summers can be tough. But that should not deter you from exploring the megalopolis during these months. And there are certain perks of making this trip in June. For one, flight ticket prices and hotel room rates would both be on the lower side as June is not the peak tourist season. That would keep your travel budget on the lower side. And that’s why June month could be the best season to visit in Dubai.
Dubai’s Temperature in June month
In June, Dubai experiences scorching temperatures, with average highs of 38-40 degrees (104°F) and lows of 28 degrees (82°F). The humidity levels are also high during this time, making it feel even hotter than it actually is. This type of weather can be quite challenging for visitors, especially those who are not accustomed to the heat. Despite the high temperatures, June is still a great time to visit Dubai, especially for those who enjoy indoor activities such as shopping or visiting museums.
Places to Visit in Dubai during June Month
Also, nearly every indoor tourist attraction in Dubai is air-conditioned. So are the buses, taxis, and metro. So, you would not be experiencing the burning heat. And if your visit itinerary coincides with the Ramadan festival, then you can enjoy shopping at much discounted rates. Below, let us take you through some of the attractions that you can experience if you are visiting Dubai in June.

A recent addition to the many iconic structures that Dubai is proud to have, the Dubai Frame is a massive rectangular structure. Designed on the lines of a photo frame, the Dubai Frame – also located in Zabeel Park – allows you to see old & new Dubai, or rather past & present Dubai on two sides of the frame.

The nimble performers here put up terrific shows that are as dangerous as they are captivating, accompanied by suitable music & lighting. Sit wide-eyed through the performances as the performers prepare to take your breath away.
8. Desert Safari
We had learnt in Geography in school that the deserts become very hot in daytime – and chilled in the evening. Experience this for yourself in a desert safari outside the city. Adrenaline junkies can go for some dune bashing in 4×4 SUVs or quad biking, while those preferring more sedate activities can go for a camel safari – or simply relax in the traditional-looking bedouine-styled tents – while admiring the breathtaking views of the setting sun. If you are looking for beyond normal safari trip then consider going for Jeep Safari.
Round up your safari with a lip-smacking meal consisting of the best of local & chosen global cuisines, and some traditional belly dancing and tanoura show.
9. Dhow Cruise & Dinner
And last but not the least; don’t miss out Dhow Cruise Dubai Marina, a wonderful experience of evening-time Dubai. Hop on to a traditional Arabian boat – a dhow – that is fitted with every modern amenity. Sail gently along the placid waters of the gulf as you admire the views of the brilliantly illuminated night-time Dubai and its towering landmarks. You can prop yourself in the air-conditioned lounge or the open-air deck. And later in the evening, a mouthwatering buffet dinner awaits you as you get to savor immaculately cooked local & international delicacies.
Conclusion
Hence, go ahead & book yourself that ticket for visiting Dubai in June. The outdoor attractions may not be feasible to visit – but the wealth of indoor & evening attractions would more than make up for it!
