In April, you may see some rare and short thunderstorms, however rain is not expected for more than 1 day per month.
The days get longer, with the sun rising around 6 AM and setting around 6.40 PM.
April evenings are really pleasant in Dubai, and are perfect to be spent in the desert, or admiring the glittering skyline of the city at night, perhaps having dinner on one of the typical boats that sail on Dubai Creek.
