Peak season vs low season

Dubai experiences a surge in tourists during the cooler months (December-February). While the festive spirit and pleasant weather are enticing, these months also coincide with larger crowds at the Burj Khalifa. Consider visiting during the shoulder seasons (March-May, September-November) for a comfortable balance between weather and crowds.
