Dubai in January: holidays and weather

Dubai is a luxurious city on the shore of the Persian Gulf. Another 50 years ago it was an unremarkable settlement in the desert, which is now difficult to believe. And now every day from Moscow and other cities of the CIS to Dubai flies several flights. Reviews of tourists who bought a tour to Dubai in January, reported that the journey time is only 5 hours.

What do weather forecasters say?

Dubai is one of the hottest cities in the world. In summer, the thermometer's column rises to +45 degrees. For this reason, some tourists prefer to visit Dubai in January. The winter here is mild, and in the daytime the air temperature is on average +26 degrees, which does not exclude swimming in the sea, especially since the water is rarely colder +20. But in the evening it is better to have a sweater or a windbreaker. Some tourists in the reviews write that the weather in Dubai in January will please the residents of the middle latitudes, frozen during the long winter.

The most interesting museum

The oldest building in Dubai is Fort Al-Fahidi, its foundation dates back to the end of the 18th century. The fortress is built of clay, limestone, coral and shell rock. There it is worth to visit all who want to see Dubai, as it was in ancient times. The Al-Fahidi Museum houses a magnificent collection of weapons and musical instruments.

Architectural sights

In Dubai is the tallest building on the planet - the Burj Khalifa skyscraper. In the tourist season tickets for the observation deck must be booked in a few weeks. However, Dubai in January is not particularly overloaded with tourists, and tickets can be bought on the first floor of the tower right before the tour. Reading reviews of tourists, it is easy to come to the conclusion that in Dubai it is worth to come at least in order to admire this fantastic panorama.

The world's largest artificial archipelago is located in Dubai and is called the Palm Jumeirah. This is a talking name, since the islands are in the shape of a palm tree. One of the islands occupies a surprisingly beautiful hotel, built in Arabic style, - Atlantis the Palm.

At the foot of the Burj Khalifa is the famous Dubai fountain. This is the highest fountain in the world, a truly grand spectacle! The musical and light accompaniment makes it simply fantastic.

The Jumeirah Mosque, built in medieval style, is one of the few in the world where people of non-Islamic faith are allowed to enter. In their responses, tourists warn that the entrance to it is only allowed with an excursion. In the evening the mosque looks especially mysterious due to the illumination.

Recreation places
