Discover Dubai’s Winter Mornings from Above
When you are visiting Dubai anywhere from November to March, you are in for a pleasant experience. The moderate temperature makes it way more delightful for tourists or locals to take a stroll in the city. But the best part is the morning view which is magical with the cool breezes and stunning sunrises. It is perfect to try on some of the activities and tours that will fill you with energy for the rest of the day!
Activities for Enjoying the Morning Views
- Hot Air Balloon Ride
You can have an unforgettable experience in the Dubai hot air balloon ride where you soar high in the sky in a pretty basket. Just picturing this beautiful experience will give you goosebumps, so why sit back? Make the most of your time on this balloon as the air stays calm which gives you a peaceful start to your day. Believe us when we say there is nothing as magical as this because you will see beautiful dunes and desert wildlife without any interruption.
- Morning Desert Safari
If you want to be a little less adventurous, why not begin your day with the morning desert safari in Dubai? At this time of the day the desert is a different world which can be described as still, calm, and amazingly fresh. Regardless of whether you go for a dune bashing, riding camels, or sandboarding, there is always something for everyone. If you want something luxury, then try our private desert safari Dubai which is worth to try. Just when the warmth of the morning sunlight touches the dunes is the best time to grab some great pictures.
- Helicopter Tour Over Dubai
If you prefer the city more, you can try the bird’s eye view on a helicopter ride over Dubai which is another great idea. It is best to go during the early mornings when the horizon is clear and wide enough you can see the skyline, from the Burj Khalifa to the Palm Jumeirah. The cold breeze, scenic backdrop, and thrill of aerial view make the helicopter tour a fantastic way to kick start the day.
Scenic Locations to Experience the Views
- Burj Khalifa – At the Top
A visit to Dubai will not be complete without a visit to the tallest building on earth known as the Burj Khalifa. The Burj Khalifa at the top tickets offer to visit the 124th, 125th, and 148th observation decks, which can be quite beautiful in the morning when all of Dubai seems to be painted in gold. The sunrise view from here is unforgettable, with a breathtaking view of the skyline, the desert, and the coast in the distance in case the day is clear. And the best part is that you can avoid heavy traffic and can move around freely during the early morning.
- Dubai Creek Harbour
If you’re looking for a quieter spot to soak in the views, Dubai Creek Harbour is a hidden gem. As the morning sun rises, the reflection of the skyscrapers in the calm waters of the creek creates a picture-perfect moment. It’s a peaceful way to start your day and a great spot to get some fantastic photos without the hustle and bustle of the city.
Photographic opportunities
Dubai winter mornings are the best natural lighting for clicking pictures. Whether you want it for the desert, city skyline, or sunrise glow, you are in for a special treat!
1. Desert Photography
When you are on a hot air balloon ride, the scenery of the desert coming to life with the orange-yellow color of the sunrise is a sure shot to capture. This is especially true since the early morning light provides long, shading dramatic shadows across the dunes. You will also be able to capture pictures of various wildlife such as camels or the gently walking Arabian oryx in the desert.
2. City Photography
For the lovers of urban scenery, there are Burj Khalifa or Dubai Creek Harbour to visit. The light of the morning is usually very gentle and therefore is right for photography of the skyline of the city. Oh yes, the added bonus is that when you are up, early mornings are not hazy and thus, your photos come out sharp.
Benefits of early morning activities
