What to Wear in Dubai in March
March brings warming temperatures — 84°F highs and 67°F lows with only 2 precipitation days. Still excellent tourist weather but sunscreen becomes more important (UV index rises to 7–8). Pack lightweight breathable tops, light trousers, a cardigan for indoor cooling, modest layers for traditional areas, and SPF 50 sunscreen. Evenings are pleasant for the Marina Walk and Dubai Creek.
March marks the end of Dubai's comfortable winter and the beginning of the warming trend toward summer. The 84°F midday heat is manageable with lightweight clothing and shade, but the UV index rises sharply — SPF 50 is now necessary for outdoor sightseeing. The Dubai Food Festival typically continues through early March, and the desert safari season remains excellent before April's heat makes evening excursions warm.
