Best Time to Visit

UAE is a melting pot of different activities, so for every activity, there is a right time to visit and experience them. The tourist season in the UAE is categorized into three seasons — summer, winter, and spring. The winter (November to March) is the peak tourist season, with temperatures around 68 F to 86 F. This is excellent for outdoor activities like sightseeing, relaxing on the beaches, and other activities. If outdoor activities are what you crave, well, plan your trip during the winter.

Are you seeking indoor as well as outdoor activities at the same time? If yes, spring is your season. During spring (April and May), the UAE experiences a gradual increase in temperatures. This is the best time to experience both sides of the world before it gets too hotter, which happens by late May.

If you are into indoor activities like shopping or enjoying indoor attractions, visit the UAE in the summer. Summer (June to September) in the UAE is extremely hot, with temperatures reaching over 122 F. This period is less favourable for outdoor activities and more favorable for indoor activities. When you visit the UAE in summer, make sure to pay a visit to family-friendly attractions like Dubai Mall Ice Rink, SKI Dubai, iFLY Dubai, and Green Planet to name a few.

Ultimately, the best time to visit the UAE depends on the kind of activities you and your family want. For outdoor adventures, the best time to visit the UAE is in winter. If you are more into indoor activities and want to avoid travellers during peak season, plan a trip during the summer.
