Dubai: 6 Winter Activities You Need To Do Before Summer Starts

Okay, I know March just began, and it might be too early to talk about summer already, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Believe me, June will come around sooner than we know it, and we’ll once again have to face upwards of 40º every day. So with all the recent cloud seeding that has been happening in Dubai, now seems like more than the perfect time to take advantage of this great weather and spend as much time as you can outdoors, basking in the cool breeze and cloudy skies. Come with me, and I’ll tell you all the top winter activities you need to tick off your bucket list before summer kickstarts in Dubai.

1. Visit A Desert Pop-Up Cafe

I know we all love a good desert safari. Sitting in a 4X4 bashing your way through the bumpy dunes, going on camel rides, sand boarding and Quad biking. But have you ever just wanted a calm desert experience? Somewhere, you can sit, relax, enjoy a tasty bite or a refreshing drink, enjoy the pleasant weather, and engage in lovely conversation with the people you’re with. If this sounds more like your speed, then a desert pop-up cafe is just what you’re looking for. And yes, these Dubai desert pop-ups are only for a limited time. So, I say take this as your sign to go visit one with your besties and put it on your gram!

2. Stroll Through Global Village Before Season 28 Ends

Going to Global Village is a very crucial part of the Dubai experience. Some may even call it the gem of the city. I won’t spend much time trying to sell you on why you should visit GV before season 28 ends on April 28. This is simply your most perfect family-friendly destination to stratify all your weekend needs. May it be shopping, trying out new adventures, playing games, hopping from one county pavilion to the next, enjoying the taste of their local cuisine and much more. I could go on and on about this place, but I’m sure you will get the picture. Get your tickets for Global Village online for a hassle-free entry experience.

3. Do Mountainous Activities

Ah, there’s nothing like spending a little time in the great outdoors, surrounded by nature. Let me tell you exactly what I mean when I say ‘Mountainous Activities’ – hike up to see the new Hatta sign (which Is more significant than the Hollywood sign in America btw), go Kayaking or paddle-boarding in Hatta Dam, conquer the mountains via bikes. All of these great activities aren’t limited to Hatta; you can even venture your way to Jebel Jais or even Kor Fa Khan. The great outdoors is calling your name, so what’re you waiting for?

4. Sit Outdoors Or On Rooftops At Restaurants As Much As You Can

If this one wasn’t obvious, let this be a reminder for you. Sitting outside or on rooftops as much as you during this great weather is your best bet. You’re probably inside a closed building enough as it is during the day, so why not eat your delicious meal with a pleasant breeze in your hair? But this is definitely something that’s on everyone’s mind, so to make sure you always get the best seat in the house, I recommend making a reservation at least one day in advance, and for those more spontaneous outings, you’ll just have to test out your luck.

5. Experience Watching Movies Under The Stars

This would make the perfect date night out in Dubai. Going to the movies is already considered a staple date option among couples, but why not elevate that whole exercise? Making it more cosy and romantic and being under the stars without fail always makes things more romantic. So, grab your favourite person, pick your perfect movie snacks, wrap yourself up in a cosy blanket, and enjoy a brilliant outdoor cinema experience. Dubai has a lot of great options to choose from; here is one that comes highly recommended – VOX Moonlight.

6. Soar The Dubai Skies In A Hot Air Balloon

Does it get more luxurious than having breakfast in the sky while overlooking the stunning Dubai desert landscape? I think not. If the idea of going on a hot air balloon ride doesn’t entice you alone, the fact that you can have a hot and fresh gourmet breakfast should. Surprise your loved one with this and enjoy the perfect sunset together. Shall I say more about why this has to be ticked off your bucket list, or will this reel of us at Gulf Buzz try to convince you enough? Get your tickets here for a breathtaking experience!
