Best Time to Visit UAE

Summers in the UAE are pretty hot and very humid. The temperature, sometimes, rises above 55° C, making it impossible to leave the confines of an air conditioned room. Summers are definitely not the best season to visit UAE, especially if you are going for sightseeing and vacation purposes. Rains are non-existent during the summers, making the weather even hotter. It does get cooler during the nights, as the desert winds blow in, but the days are dusty, humid and extremely hot.

UAE does not really have a monsoon season, being a desert country. Rainfall is infrequent at best, and sometimes happens during the winter months as well. It typically rains here in short bursts, during the months of December to March. It remains humid and hot here during the entire year, but during the rains the heat is more manageable. Even hotel discounts and sightseeing packages are at an all-time low. If you decide to visit UAE in these months, make sure to negotiate for a good price and great hotels.

Winters in the UAE last from December to February, and is the only time of the year when the tourists and locals can breathe a sigh of relief when leaving their homes. The day temperature remains around 21° C, whereas by night it drops to nearly 12° C, which is as cold as it gets in the UAE. This is considered the best time to visit UAE for holiday, since most of the fairs and festivals, especially the shopping festivals are held during this time. Given the fact that most weddings take place during this time, this can also be considered the best time to visit UAE for honeymoon, especially if you want to completely explore your destination within a few days.
