9Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai transforms into a playground of sunshine while most of the world bundles up. Between November and March, temperatures hover around 26–30°C—ideal for beach lounging, rooftop dining, or desert safaris.

Stroll along Jumeirah Beach, dine at stylish restaurants in Dubai Marina, or take a 4×4 adventure across golden dunes. The city’s futuristic skyline, luxury hotels, and endless activities—from indoor skiing to skydiving over Palm Jumeirah—make it one of the world’s most exciting winter escapes.
