Hacks To Avoid Crowds at Dubai Parks & Resorts
The best time to visit Dubai Parks & Resorts is during the months of September through March. Not only are the crowds smaller, but Dubai's weather is rather pleasant during these months. That said, do not let summer be a deterrant for you- Dubai Parks and Resorts has about 70 cooling stations, and many attractions here are indoors.
Visiting During Ramadan
Many are skeptical about taking a trip to Dubai during Ramadan because of the holiday rush, but there is a way around it. If you start your day early, hit the attractions right around the time they open, and avoid the weekends, you can enjoy the holiday season in the UAE to the fullest. Ramadan also comes with holiday discounts on your tickets, so it's a great way to save money.
Before you visit Dubai Parks & Resorts, make sure you check the timings. Park timings and visiting hours are different for the summer, winter, and Ramadan.
