Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Abu Dhabi is during the winter months (November to March) when temperatures are pleasant and outdoor activities are comfortable. However, each season offers unique experiences:

Winter (December-February) brings the most comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities, sightseeing, and desert safaris. This is peak tourist season with perfect conditions for beach visits and outdoor dining.

Spring (March-May) starts pleasantly but temperatures rise quickly. Early spring is still good for outdoor activities, but by May the heat becomes significant. This is a good time to visit before the extreme summer heat arrives.

Summer (June-August) is extremely hot with very high humidity. Outdoor activities are challenging during daylight hours. This is low season for tourism, with most activities moving indoors to air-conditioned spaces.

Autumn (September-November) sees gradually decreasing temperatures. While September is still very hot, by November the weather becomes quite pleasant again. Late autumn is an excellent time to visit as tourist crowds are smaller than winter.
