This guide explains what Dubai is like in July: the weather, how busy it is, what to plan and who the month suits. Figures are typical values from our destination research, so check a forecast before you travel.
Daytime highs reach about 41°C and lows about 31°C. Rainfall is around 0 mm for the month and humidity is about 61 percent. Extremely hot; low-season pricing is common. July is the hottest part of the year. Highs reach about 41°C and lows stay near 31°C, so nights offer almost no relief. There is no rain. Outdoor time should be limited to early morning and late evening.
July suits budget-focused travellers who see Dubai as an indoor, resort-style holiday. It is the wrong month for walking tours, beaches in the daytime or long outdoor sightseeing.
July is as hot as August and hotter than June at about 40°C. The main advantage over the comfortable season is price: low-season pricing is common, while December to February is peak.
With highs near 41°C, treat the middle of the day as indoor time and check that your transfers and tours are air-conditioned. Prices are usually lower than in the December to February peak, so you can often book later. Choose a hotel with good Metro access, group sightseeing by area instead of crossing the city in one day, and confirm what your desert safari includes. Our packages are land-only, so flights are booked separately.
