United Arab Emirates Dubai Weather in November — Climate Guide
November in Dubai is Excellent
November is Excellent for Dubai.
November is the unambiguous start of peak season. The first week is still warmer (32-34°C); by mid-month it settles into the 28-31°C sweet spot that runs through January. Sea drops to 27°C (refreshing again). Humidity manageable.
The Dubai Air Show (biennial, mid-November) at Al Maktoum Airport draws aviation industry + enthusiast crowds. UAE National Day approach (December 2) brings flag displays, fireworks rehearsals, and growing crowds at major attractions.

Dubai in November — Full Picture
November is the unambiguous start of peak season. The first week is still warmer (32-34°C); by mid-month it settles into the 28-31°C sweet spot that runs through January. Sea drops to 27°C (refreshing again). Humidity manageable.
The Dubai Air Show (biennial, mid-November) at Al Maktoum Airport draws aviation industry + enthusiast crowds. UAE National Day approach (December 2) brings flag displays, fireworks rehearsals, and growing crowds at major attractions.
Hotel pricing climbs 30-50% from October. Book 2-3 months ahead for November-December. All outdoor activities are at peak comfort: desert safaris, beach, walking Old Dubai, marina cruises. The trade-off: 60-70% higher hotel costs than May-September. November is when most expats finally feel like Dubai is a livable, enjoyable place — the consensus 'best month'.
What to Wear & What to Pack
T-shirts and shorts during the day; light sweater for evenings (drops to 18-21°C). Beach and pool both at perfect temperatures. Sunscreen still important — UV 6 (high).
