10 things to do in Dubai in March

March is the last month of high season in the city, and that means that this month is full of cultural and artistic fairs such as the Dubai International Horse Fair or the Dubai Gold Festival, but if adrenaline is your thing, you can't miss exclusive and exciting plans such as the wind tunnel, a helicopter ride or going on board a hot air balloon. Looks good, doesn't it?

If you're keen to try skydiving but aren't quite sure about it and are keen on flying activities, start by trying out the wind tunnel in Dubai. When you book your wind tunnel experience you will ascend to 4 meters high with the help of air jets and you can do all the flips and turns you want.

The best thing about this plan? It is suitable for the whole family and you will also have the individualized assistance of an instructor. In short, you will believe you are flying, but all in a safe and professional way. Do you dare?

If you're really looking for a true adventure in the incredible city of Dubai, you should take advantage of the clear skies and still mild temperatures of March to fly over the sky and take in **Dubai'**s spectacular cityscape, which is probably unlike any other.

Imagine seeing from above the city's artificial islands, luxury hotel complexes and skyscrapers such as the Burj Khalifa, all in contrast to Dubai's impressive mosques.

Without a doubt, taking a helicopter flight in Dubai over the sky of the capital of the United Arab Emirates is a highly recommended plan that you should not miss.

March is a favorite month for art lovers, so an artistic event featuring talented acrobats should not be missed.

Acrobatics Week is held at Caesars Palace Bluewaters, a stage that will allow you to enjoy a show with a 360° view - impossible to complain! The event is annual and is attended by the best acrobats from around the world, so be prepared to see a show full of choreographies that border on the surreal.

Don't miss La Perle de Dragone

Or if you prefer, go see the La Perle acrobatics show in Dubai, a jaw-dropping, immersive show of lights, sounds and water. The team of 65 performers who offer the show to thousands of spectators every day will allow you to enjoy an experience with impossible aerial and aquatic stunts and acrobatics.

Take advantage of the good temperatures in March and that the heat is not yet pressing to book an excursion to the desert of Dubai that also includes a dune safari, camel ride, sandboarding, falcon experience and dinner.

An SUV will pick you up at your hotel to go to Al Khayma, where you will spend one of the most intense days of your life doing the most authentic experiences you can find in Dubai, combining tradition, with a camel ride, a falcon activity and a traditional tanoura dance show, with modernity, doing a safari through the dunes or sandboarding through the desert sand. Are you going to miss it?

Dubai is definitely the city of luxury and I'm sure that, at least some of the time, you would love to get a taste of what it's like to live like a megayachtsman. Now you have the opportunity to do so by enjoying a megayacht cruise while contemplating the city skyline with the lights of the sunset.

In addition, this great plan includes dinner, which you can choose depending on how vip you want to be and unlimited drinks. Ideal to do it as a couple or with friends, right?

The Dubai International Horse Fair is a very important event for Dubai as it represents the equestrian sector of the United Arab Emirates. It is important to understand that horses in Dubai have always been a symbol of power and freedom; hence the event is a spectacle for tourists and locals alike. However, to attend the event it is advisable to book a place on the official website of the event.

The event lasts 6 days and is held at the end of March at the World Trade Center Dubai. In addition, the festival not only aims to highlight the qualities of the horses owned by each company, but it is also a festival where many people will have the pleasure of seeing the racehorses up close and learn a little more about this passionate sport rooted in the culture of the United Arab Emirates.

And if riding is one of your passions, definitely a must-do during your stay in Dubai is to book a camel ride at sunrise- it will be quite an experience!

Watch & Jewellery Middle East is an annual event held in both Dubai and Sharjah at the end of March and lasts approximately 5 days. The event is all about holding exhibitions of precious watches and luxury jewelry; it is also an event attended by many gold and diamond experts and specialists who will try to do their bit, hold talks and inform those attending the event of the qualities of each watch on display.

The event welcomes many visitors from various countries around the world; what's more, an estimated 60,000 visitors a year come to Dubai to attend this particular and annual event. You can attend the event for free to the great watch and jewelry spaces, such as the ones you will see if you buy tickets to the Burj Khalifa. If you are interested, I recommend you to visit the official site of theevent, sure you will solve all your doubts there.

March is definitely a great month for outdoor activities in Dubai, because the heat is not as hot as at other times of the year. Still, if you hire a balloon flight in Dubai at dawn I recommend you to bring some warm clothes, because early in the morning the temperature can be a little cooler.

For this activity you will have to get up early, but it will definitely be worth it to contemplate the best views of the desert of Dubai at dawn and then enjoy a delicious gourmet breakfast. Are not your mouth watering?

Taking a 9 or 10 hour tour in the Middle East can be quite an odyssey in the hottest months of the year and, on the other hand, the most touristic season does not help to make this the best plan either. That's why March is the best month to invest your time by spending a full day in Abu Dhabi.

Want to know all the details? Booking a tour to Abu Dhabi from Dubai will give you the opportunity to see the most important places in the capital of the United Arab Emirates:

• Qasr al Watan Palace and its gardens.
• The Etihad Towers observation post, to which you will have access.
• The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which you will be able to enter.

Of course, at all times you will be accompanied by an expert driver/guide who will transfer you from Dubai to the most important points of Abu Dhabi and will tell you all the secrets of this city.

Don't miss the Dubai Gold Festival if you love Latin music and dancing. It is an annual event held at 1OAK, a very famous nightclub in Dubai attended by people from all over the world.

The event is held on a Saturday in the middle of the month and is attended by DJs and important figures of reggaeton, something similar to a private concert. If you want to enjoy a reggaeton show in March do not hesitate to make your reservation on the official website ofthe club.

The weather in Dubai in March is quite pleasant, although it is far from the spectacular weather that embraces the city in the winter months, it is an ideal climate to attend pool parties, swim in the city's beaches and make evening plans. Average minimum temperatures are 25°C and usually do not exceed 36°C as the maximum temperature.

Rainfall during this month in Dubai is almost non-existent, so don't worry about the rain issue.

The truth is that March is perhaps the best month for those who want to enjoy tolerable temperatures and interesting activities without having to pay so much money compared to other months of the year such as December in Dubai or January in Dubai.

However, if you are looking to pay less than in the month of March, in that case it would be advisable to look for the months of June, July or August, although in that case you would have to go very prepared to face the high temperatures.

In the case of Dubai in March, I would recommend you to take spring and summer clothes, because although the average temperatures are quite pleasant, it is advisable to be prepared for the temperature peaks that are very frequent and unexpected. Also for your peace of mind, it is advisable to find out more about what to wear in Dubai in certain environments to avoid embarrassment.

Compared to other high season months, this is the month with the least number of tourists, not to mention that we are talking about Dubai, a city where there will always be tourists.

In theory the best months for swimming in Dubai are March, April and May. As you move months to your right the average maximum and minimum temperatures tend to rise; hence the answer to the question will depend on your particular tastes.

Therefore, I recommend you to know better how is Dubai in April and how is Dubai in May, to have a more complete idea before deciding on the month, as long as you have a choice.

Of course, in general, in the month of March you don't usually go to the beach as much as in the months of April and May. If you live in Spain or by the Mediterranean we could compare March with the end of May or June; and the months of April and May with July and August respectively. What you can do in March is a cruise in the Dubai Marina; at least you will get rid of the desire for water and you will be refreshed by the sea breeze without being cold.
