March in Dubai is always an exciting month — a lovely blend of Ramadan festivities and exhilarating new experiences. The city warmly embraces the Holy Month, offering Gulf region cultural moments, exceptional shopping, and indulgent new attractions. Whether you are here for relaxation, adventure, or fine dining, there is plenty to keep you busy. Here are four great things to do in Dubai this March.
1. Desert Ramadan Staycation at Bab Al Shams
For a serene retreat away from the city, head to Bab Al Shams Desert Resort on Al Qudra Road. Set deep within golden dunes, the resort offers a private suhoor experience, camel treks through the desert, falconry displays, and Arabic coffee-making sessions. As night falls, guests can stargaze under a breathtaking open sky — one of the most memorable things to do in Dubai during Ramadan.

2. Visit the New Maison Margiela Café at Mall of the Emirates
The new Maison Margiela boutique at Mall of the Emirates now features a stylish in-store café, blending high fashion with coffee culture in a sleek, minimalist space. The 40 sq m terrace café serves limited-edition coffees, pastries, and signature desserts including the Tabi Cake with cardamom and pistachio. It is the perfect spot to recharge between shopping sprees.

3. Enjoy a Lavish Iftar Feast
Dubai's iftar dining scene is one of the best in the region, with over 130 options to choose from this Ramadan. From traditional Arabic spreads to gourmet international menus, there is something to suit every palate. Whether you prefer a tented desert setting or a rooftop restaurant overlooking the skyline, the city's restaurants deliver an unforgettable end to each fasting day.
4. Unwind at Banyan Tree Spa, Bluewaters Island
For the ultimate self-care session, book the Rainforest Indulgence package at Banyan Tree Spa on Bluewaters Island. The experience includes Dubai's first Rainforest Trail — a hydrothermal circuit of steam rooms, themed showers, a private jacuzzi, and hydromassage jets designed to soothe and restore.
