If you like warmth, then Dubai is your paradise. In summer, from June to August, temperatures can rise to 45°C, and the air becomes dense from heat and humidity. This is the time when air conditioners become your best friends. In winter, from November to March, the weather is milder and more pleasant, with temperatures around 25°C during the day and cool evenings.

Dubai strives to be an inclusive city, and many public spaces are equipped for the convenience of people with disabilities.
