Why Dubai for a Luxury Golf trip
Dubai is the region's golf hub, with immaculate grass courses carved from the desert. Emirates Golf Club, whose Majlis course has long hosted professional tour events, is the city's best-known address, and Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club offers waterfront holes close to the old city. Most golfers base themselves near Dubai Marina or Jumeirah for quick access to the major courses, and tee off early outside the coolest months.
Dubai sits where the Arabian Desert meets the warm waters of the Gulf, its skyline crowned by the Burj Khalifa. Its luxury is unapologetically grand: palatial beach resorts on Palm Jumeirah, sky-high suites downtown, secluded desert retreats, and a restaurant scene shaped by chefs from around the world. Shopping, golf and private yachts round out a city built for indulgence.
When to go: November to March is the ideal window, with warm, sunny days and comfortable evenings for dining outdoors and desert trips. June to September is extremely hot and humid, best suited to indoor and poolside stays.
