Although the UAE weather is often depicted as being unbearably hot, the temperature actually varies between regions and between months. The summer time is indeed hot with temperatures averaging 47oC (115oF) in August but luckily, the vast majority of homes, shops and offices are efficiently air-conditioned. Surprising to most, the weather in this desert landscape is relatively humid. During the hot summer months this humidity can add to the discomfort. In contrast, winter (October to March) mid-day temperatures are very pleasant at 20oC to 25oC (75oF to 80oF) with cooler evenings averaging 15oC (59oF).

There are occasional sand storms during the winter.

When to go

November to April are the best months to visit though it can be very windy in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah and very cold in the desert.

During the Ramadan, considered the most venerated and blessed month of the Islamic year, eating, drinking or smoking in public from sunrise to sunset are prohibited. Also, no alcohol serving in public places.
