Winter (November to March):

  • Winter is the peak tourist season in the UAE due to its pleasant weather.
  • Temperatures are comfortably warm, ranging from 20°C (68°F) to 30°C (86°F), making it ideal for outdoor activities, sightseeing, and exploring the desert.

Spring (April to May):

  • Spring in the UAE sees a gradual increase in temperatures, becoming warmer but still enjoyable for outdoor pursuits.

Summer (June to August):

  • Summer in the UAE can be extremely hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F) or more.
