Abu Dhabi

Winter (Nov–Mar): Best time — pleasant 15–25°C, sunny days ideal for beaches, desert safaris and outdoor sightseeing. Peak season: higher prices and crowds; book ahead. Events: Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (usually Nov) and cultural festivals. Spring (Apr–May): Warm 25–35°C, shoulder season with fewer tourists. Good for early-morning outdoor activities and lower rates than winter. Summer (Jun–Sep): Very hot and humid, daytime highs often 35–50°C. Off-peak: lowest hotel prices, indoor attractions, pools and malls dominate activities. Many tourism-led “Summer Season” sales and events. Autumn (Oct): Transition month — still warm 30–38°C early on, cooling later. Fewer crowds and reasonable prices. Note Ramadan’s dates vary yearly and can affect opening hours and events.
