November is near-perfect: around 31 °C by day, 21 °C at night, dry and sunny, with the Dubai Design Week in the design district, the Airshow in odd-numbered years and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at the end of the month drawing visitors through the city. Rates rise toward December. It is among the best months for desert safaris and for the beach, with sea temperatures around 28 °C.
The Dubai Fitness Challenge continues to late November with free events. Rain is rare, though the first winter showers can arrive in the final week. Global Village is in full swing. Hotel rates jump in the last ten days of the month ahead of National Day. For the ideal weather at the lowest peak-season price, the first half of November is the window. December brings National Day, Christmas and New Year; see December.
