When to go
The best time to visit the United Arab Emirates is
winter, from December to February, which is a pleasant and sunny season, and which allows you to avoid the oppressive heat of the long warm season.
For a
beach holiday, the best months are March and November (with a preference for the latter because the sea is warmer), while in the long summer, when it gets too hot, even sunbathing can be a challenge.
What to pack
In
winter, pack light clothes for the day, a sweater and a jacket for the evening and for cool days, and a scarf for the wind.
In
summer, pack lightweight clothes, loose-fitting and made of natural fabric (cotton or linen), a desert turban, and a sweatshirt and a scarf for air-conditioned places. When going to the reef, you can bring snorkeling equipment, including water shoes or rubber-soled shoes.
It's better for
women to avoid shorts and miniskirts outside of tourist resorts.
