What shifts by season
Dubai has two seasons that matter for a day out: the cooler months from October to April, when days are warm and evenings pleasant, and the hot summer from May to September, when outdoor stops are best kept short and early or late in the day. It rarely rains; what changes is the heat.
Booking and confirmation — what to send
To confirm the Dubai Marina Yacht Party, send the date, your hotel name and area, and the group size on WhatsApp — that is what sets the pickup time, the vehicle and the slot. Full pre-payment is required to confirm the booking.
