Best time to visit
Winter (November-March)
Winter is the best time to visit the UAE, with pleasant temperatures, low humidity, and clear skies. The weather is perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities, making it the peak tourist season. This is also the time when many festivals and events take place, such as the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix.
Spring (April-May)
Spring is also a good time to visit the UAE, as the weather is still mild and comfortable, but the crowds are not as heavy as during the winter months. This is a good time to visit the desert, as the temperatures are not as extreme as during the summer months.
Summer (June-October)
The summer months can be extremely hot and uncomfortable, making it less ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. However, it is also the time when prices tend to be lower, and it's a good time for beach activities and water sports. If you're planning to visit during the summer, it's best to focus on coastal activities or head to the highlands of Oman or the Hajar Mountains, where the temperatures are more bearable.
