Best Time to Visit UAE for Tourists

Just like any other tourist destinations around the globe, you must know the advisable seasons to visit them. As a general rule of the thumb, it’s best to avoid traveling during peak months such as summer or Christmas season. The rates at this time is much expensive and it’s quite inconvenient to roam around knowing that you’ll get swarmed by other tourists like you. What you must know before you plan your trip to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the extreme weather conditions. The country has only two main season, winter from mostly December to February and it is drought for the rest of the months.

If you came from countries with naturally cold climates such as UK, Canada, or America, you might be overwhelmed with the weather of UAE during summer. The temperature can increase more than 40◦C from June to September, and quite frankly it is the normal weather in the country. So if you are not a fun of intense sun, then plan your visit during cold seasons starting in December and can last until the March. But don’t expect a snow to suddenly fall down from the sky. Winter means that the humid will be just colder and temperature can decrease up to 7◦C even though the sun is very high.

Sand dune adventures in Abu Dhabi and water-sport activities in Yas Island are two of the must-try outdoor ventures which is best done during winter season. You can truly enjoy without fearing for sun burn and dehydration. In case you’re planning to visit UAE during summer, keep in mind to wear loose fitting clothes and drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated.

Buying gadgets such as smartphones or any branded items are surprisingly low priced at UAE. It’s because the government didn’t particularly prioritize in taxing on such commodities, same applies to Saudi Arabia. But if you are a true shopaholic, you must know that shopping is best done in the Malls of Abu Dhabi and Dubai during the end of Ramadan and the National Day Celebration. You can get signature items at a very low cost. From make-up, bags, shoes and even food items are on sale. Everything is 50-70% discounted.

If you must visit this city during Ramadan, you must conform to the customs and pay respects to the Muslim people around you. Don’t drink or eat in front of them during the day since they are fasting and they can only break it during Fatur (breakfast which is done after Magrib Prayers usually around 6-7pm). Some restaurants that observe Ramadan and they are also close the entire day.

UAE is a country that offers luxury and modernity. But comparing to other destinations such as Las Vegas, Austratlia, and Italy, the price you will spend in this marvelous city is considerably less expensive. Although the country focus on bridging the gap between East and West, it’s still an Islamic country with strict values. Therefore, you must be aware of their customs in order not to offend anyone around you.
