Averages for dubai in May

Situated on the Persian Gulf Coast, Dubai is a resort destination within the United Arab Emirates with white sandy beaches to the east and the Hajar Mountains to the West, with vast amounts of urban sprawl and desert in between. The area is hot and dry year round.

May is the start of the summer in Dubai and sees temperatures range from 23 to 36 degrees Celsius; highs that many native Brits are not accustomed to. Being a desert region, rainfall during May is very rare so it’s a great time for being outdoors, though beware of the high humidity levels, which may be uncomfortable for some.

Those who like a game of golf should try their hand at golf Dubai style. Instead of hitting the green, hit the white, with a round of sand golf at the Dubai Country Club’s Al Awir course.

For travellers who aren’t golf enthusiasts, head over to the Dubai Creek, which runs throughout the emirate, dividing it into two parts. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the banks, watching the loading and unloading of the traditional Arabic dhows. One end of the creek has become a wildlife sanctuary, providing homes for over 27,000 birds including flamingos.

Overlooking the creek is the Radisson Blu Deira Creek hotel, situated in the heart of Dubai. UAE laws prohibit alcohol sales without a permit, but many hotels are licensed to serve tourists, and the Radisson is one of them. Guests have a huge choice of venue, from the British-themed The Pub to the New York inspired Up On The 10th to the Dubai hotspot Ku-Bu, there’s something for everyone.

Rooms at the Radisson cost from just £64 per night.
