When Is the Best Time To Visit United Arab Emirates?

The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit United Arab Emirates depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.

Tourist Season in United Arab Emirates

The tourist season in the UAE lasts all year round, but it is winter (December-March) and spring (April-May) and late autumn (October-November) that are the most recommended times to travel, with temperatures then oscillating between 25°C and 30°C.

In Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the tourist season is closely linked to cultural events: the Dubai Desert Classic golf tournament, tennis tournaments, Dubai World Cup horse races and the Shopping Festival, when most stores offer interesting promotions and price reductions, and a pleasant holiday can be combined with shopping.

A little inconvenience may be caused by travel during the celebration of local religious and national holidays: Ramadan (a moveable holiday), Eid al-Fitr, the Feast of the Presentation of Eid al-Adha, the National Holiday (02.12). There may then be problems in public transportation, and some tourist attractions, shopping, restaurants, or offices are temporarily closed.
