What to Expect in Dubai

In Dubai the weather is always warm and gets especially hot over the summer between April and September, although things cool down over the winter if you want to avoid the heat. Although some nationals can enter Dubai without needing a visa or get one upon arrival, Indonesian nationals will need to get a visa before flying. Dubai is 3 hours behind Jakarta so you will need to wind back your clocks once you land.
