November is Dubai's re-opening — 86°F days and 70°F evenings bring residents and tourists back to the outdoor promenades, beaches, and souks after the summer retreat. The city transitions from the indoor luxury mode of summer to its full outdoor splendour. Desert safaris, creek cruises, and Al Fahidi historical quarter walks are all comfortable again. ADIPEC (Abu Dhabi energy conference) and Dubai Airshow bring large professional crowds in November.
