Vegetables to grow in Dubai

The vegetable season in Dubai runs through the cooler months, from sowing in autumn to harvests in winter and spring, and most crops are finished once the summer heat arrives. Containers and raised beds with good soil and steady watering give the best results in a hot climate. Each vegetable below lists its sowing and harvest months and when heat stress begins.
