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 packed with 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 a hot air balloon ride. 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'll ascend to a height of 4 metres with the help of air jets and can do as many flips and twists as you like.

The best thing about it? It's suitable for all the family and you'll also have individualised assistance from an instructor. In short, you'll think you're 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 soar into the sky and take in **Dubai'**s spectacular cityscape, which is probably unlike any other.

Imagine seeing the city's man-made islands, luxury resorts and skyscrapers such as the Burj Khalifa from above, all set against Dubai's impressive mosques.

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

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

Acrobatics Week is held at Caesars Palace Bluewaters, a stage that allows you to enjoy a show with a 360° view - no complaints! The annual event is attended by the best acrobats from around the world, so be prepared for a show packed with choreography that borders on the surreal.

Don't miss La Perle de Dragone

Or if you prefer, go and see the La Perle acrobatic show in Dubai, a jaw-dropping, immersive show of light, sound and water. The team of 65 artists who perform every day for thousands of spectators will give you an experience with impossible aerial and aquatic stunts and acrobatics.

Make the most of the warm March temperatures and the fact that the heat is not yet on and book a trip to the Dubai desert that includes a dune safari, camel ride, sandboarding, falcon experience and dinner.

An SUV will pick you up from your hotel and take you 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, falcon activity and a traditional tanoura dance show, with modernity, doing a dune safari or sandboarding across 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'd 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 cruise on a megayacht while contemplating the skyline of the city 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 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 should be understood that horses in Dubai have always been a symbol of wealth, 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 event website.

The event lasts 6 days and is held at the end of March at the Dubai World Trade Center. 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, booking a sunrise camel ride is definitely a must-do during your stay in Dubai - it will be 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 exhibitions of precious watches and luxury jewellery and is attended by many experts and specialists in gold and diamonds who will try to do their bit, give 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; indeed, it is estimated that 60,000 visitors a year come to Dubai to attend this particular annual event. You can attend the event for free in the large watch and jewellery 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 website of theevent, where you will surely find all your questions answered.

March is definitely a great month for outdoor activities in Dubai, as the heat isn't as intense as at other times of the year. Even so, if you book a balloon flight in Dubai at sunrise I recommend that you bring some warm clothes, as the temperature can be a little cooler in the early morning.

This activity will require you to get up early, but it's definitely worth it to see the best views of the Dubai desert at sunrise and then enjoy a delicious gourmet breakfast. Can't wait for your mouth to water?

Taking a 9 or 10 hour tour in the Middle East can be a real nightmare in the hottest months of the year and the tourist season doesn't make it the best plan either. That's why March is the best month to spend 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 sights of 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, you will be accompanied at all times by an expert driver/guide who will take you from Dubai to the highlights of Abu Dhabi and tell you all the secrets of Abu Dhabi.

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

The event takes place on a Saturday in the middle of the month and is attended by DJs and leading reggaeton figures, similar to a private concert. If you want to enjoy a reggaeton show in March, don't hesitate to make a reservation on the club's official website.

The weather in Dubai in March is quite pleasant, although far from the spectacular weather that embraces the city in the winter months, it is ideal for pool parties, swimming on the city's beaches and nightlife. 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 rainy season.

March is perhaps the best month for people who want to enjoy tolerable temperatures and interesting activities without having to pay as 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 you would in March, then you may want to look at June, July or August, although in this case you will need to be well prepared for the high temperatures.

In the case of Dubai in March, I would recommend taking spring and summer clothes, as although the average temperatures are quite pleasant, you should be prepared for the frequent and unexpected temperature peaks. Also, for your peace of mind, it's a good idea 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 when there are the fewest tourists, not to mention the fact 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, so the answer to the question will depend on your particular tastes.

For this reason, I recommend you to know more about what Dubai is like in April and what Dubai is like in May, to get a better idea before deciding which month to choose, if you have a choice.

In general, however, in March you don't go to the beach as much as in April and May. If you live in Spain or around the Mediterranean we could compare March with the end of May or June; and April and May with July and August respectively. What you can do in March is a Dubai Marina cruise; at least you'll get rid of the water and cool off in the sea breeze without getting cold.
