Do you prefer extreme vacations or more peaceful ones? I was there in October and looked at interesting places and things to do in Dubai on the getexperience website. Their blog has an article about the best places here, and I saw that they also write about Dubai weather January . You can read there whether they recommend going there at this time. When I went to Dubai, I booked a 6-hour city tour for only 40 euros and a VIP desert adventure for 170 euros for two, which included a round-trip transfer to the desert, barbecue, and sandboarding.
