Travel Tips
In General, June to September are the hottest months. Temperatures go up to 48 degrees (nights between 38-40) and Humidity soars to 90% on many days. October to May are very pleasant with an average temperature of 25-28 during the day and 16-20 at night. Sunscreen is always highly recommended as the sun is extremely bright especially during the summer months.

Although very modern and cosmopolitan, UAE society is conservative and visitors are advised to dress appropriately out of respect for local custom. In public places, women should wear garments that cover their upper arms and legs. They should not appear in public dressed in shorts, tight trousers, bare-backed or low-cut dresses. Men should wear long trousers and shirts. Shorts and sun tops should only be worn at the beach or by the pool.
When visiting any mosque, women are required to cover their hair and décolleté.
We recommend that you wear loose comfortable clothing as it will be warm. Comfortable foot wear for walking is advisable. Desert visitors should have caps, sunscreen (sunscreen is recommended all over the countries as well especially in the hot weather).
