Beach holiday in Dubai
Where is the best place to relax in the UAE if you want to combine beach holiday with shopping and excursions? Dubai is a versatile city and will suit you best, especially if you are there for the first time. It is convenient to go on excursions to other emirates, and in the city itself there is something to see on your own - we visited the beaches, Deira and the Old City, singing fountains and the Dubai Mall, and the aquarium. In Dubai you can live on different budgets - from quite modest to luxurious.
Shopping in Dubai is wonderful, there are plenty of shopping centers. In addition to the famous Dubai Mall (which can be considered a separate attraction), visit the Dubai Marina Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Outlet Mall Dubai, as well as the markets in Deira.
For those for whom it is important to live by the sea, we advise you to settle in Jumeirah - this is where there are great long beaches. In Jumeirah there is the Burj Al Arab sail hotel and the Atlantis water park hotel. Another beach area in Dubai is Marina Beach, a local Manhattan. Expensive yachts, glass skyscrapers, very beautiful.
When asked where to relax in the UAE with a child, the answer is the same - the best place is Dubai. The beaches there are good, the entrance to the water is smooth, and the infrastructure is developed. There are water parks and amusement parks for children - Wild Wadi and Wonderland.

Beach holidays in Abu Dhabi
Some believe that in the UAE it is better to relax in the capital - Abu Dhabi. It is in many ways reminiscent of Dubai: the same ultra-modern city with skyscrapers, there are also good beaches and shopping centers, you can go on excursions.
If you just want to lazily lie on the beach, then Abu Dhabi has everything for this. The beaches are good and suitable even for small children.
What to do and what to see? Be sure to visit the sixth largest mosque in the world, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque. This marble shrine of 82 domes and 1000 columns can accommodate more than 40 thousand worshipers. Go to the park with your children Ferrari World, amusement parks Al Mushrif Children's Garden and Hili Fun City, as well as the Waterworld water park - a lot of fun and delight are guaranteed!

Some tourists believe that in the UAE it is better to relax at sea in the emirate of Sharjah. It is the cultural center of the country and perfect place for a measured family vacation. There is no noisy entertainment here, like in Dubai, but there is a lot of greenery and excellent beaches. It’s also cheaper to live in Sharjah, and Dubai is about 30 minutes to 1 hour by bus or taxi! True, there may be traffic jams in the morning and evening, take this into account.
The beaches are clean and the entrance to the sea is smooth. The bottom is sandy and flat, so you can relax in Sharjah even with infant- however, like almost everywhere in the UAE.
However, Sharjah has strict laws - you can sunbathe in a swimsuit only on hotel beaches, where entry is paid if you do not live in this hotel. On public beaches On Mondays men are not allowed to come.
Alcohol is also prohibited, but you can drink in the hotels. For some, this is, on the contrary, a plus.
What to see? This is the oldest emirate, so there are many museums here - archaeological, ethnographic, historical. For children - Al Majas Green Park, Desert Park, national park, themed Adventureland, aquarium and water park.

Here's where it's best to relax in the UAE for families with children or lovers of solitude! The emirate of Fujairah is very, even too calm and quiet - mass tourism has not yet reached here and there is no noisy entertainment. But in the capital of the emirate and in the resorts next to it there are many good hotels, including all-inclusive ones.
It’s worth going to Fujairah just for a beach holiday, snorkeling and diving. The emirate is wide and clean sandy beaches- all belong to hotels. Best beaches are located in the north, where it is better to snorkel and dive. Tourists prefer the beaches of Al Aqah Beach, Dibba Al Fujairah and Shark Island. The climate is milder, and you can relax at any time of the year, except summer.
What to see? See the fort and Old city, Fujairah Museum and ethnographic park Madhab, mosque and
Heritage Village. Visit gardens, waterfalls and healing springs.

Ajman is an alternative to beachfront Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Yes, there are no amazing skyscrapers, grand mosques or amusement parks here. However, if you just want a calm and relatively inexpensive holiday in the UAE by the sea, then this emirate is for you.
The beaches are clean, with fine white sand. Private closed beaches They clean well, there is all the infrastructure there. Many hotels, cafes and restaurants.
Another advantage is that the laws are not as strict as in Sharjah, plus you can buy alcohol in a bar, restaurant or store.
Things to do? The list of entertainment is meager: go to historical Museum and the ancient fort, admire the mosques and the shipyard, visit the camel races and mineral springs. If you get bored, go to Dubai or Sharjah - they are nearby.

In this little popular among tourists, but very colorful emirate of the UAE, you can have a good rest - there are the same long beaches as anywhere else on the Persian Gulf. And also a beautiful canyon of the Khajar Mountains, sand dunes, desert villages, ancient valleys (wadis) with oases and archaeological excavations, mangroves and picturesque hills.
The climate of the United Arab Emirates is influenced by its geographical position. The Emirates are located in the northeast of the Arabian Peninsula. Most of the country is desert. In the north, the UAE is washed by the Persian Gulf, and in the east by the Oman Gulf. So, the proximity of the desert and bays shapes the weather in the country.
When is the best time to vacation in the UAE?
The proximity of the desert leads to frequent sandstorms. That is why hotel windows are constantly dirty and dusty, which causes dissatisfaction among tourists. And the proximity of the bays contributes to high humidity on the coast. The climate in the UAE is tropical desert; in short, the country is hot or very hot almost all year round. But behind the sun and warm sea We are going to the southern countries.
The most comfortable months for vacation are from October to April. If you can handle the heat, you can open the season in September and close it in May. For me, the most favorable time to go on vacation to the UAE is the end of November - December. At the beginning of December 2018, the air temperature was 24-25 degrees and the water temperature was 23-24 degrees.
During the tourist season, all the benefits of the UAE are available. Beach holidays, delightfully gentle sea, walks around the city, sunsets and sunrises and, of course, numerous excursions around the country. One condition: take a bottle of water with you always and everywhere! After all, you will only spend the night in a hotel room with air conditioning! And don't forget that you are in a Muslim country with strict laws. Clothing must correspond to the traditions of this country. By the way, then you won’t be afraid of sunburn.
But in the summer months you definitely shouldn’t go, since the air temperature can rise to 45-50 degrees. Guides on every excursion never tire of talking about this and scaring tourists with sunstroke and fainting. All life at this time is concentrated only near powerful air conditioners: in shopping and entertainment centers, water parks and restaurants. Well, perhaps only shopping and summer discounts can lure you to the Emirates at this time.
Air and water temperatures by month
When planning a vacation, all that remains is to carefully study the table of air and water temperatures by month. And only after that make your choice.

For those who are equally ignorant or forgetful (like the author): when is the season for a holiday in the UAE? And is it worth going in the off-season?
We arrived in the Emirates in February. What I was very surprised by was the urge to change my T-shirt to a sweatshirt; it became cool in the evening. In theory, the UAE = heat (desert, proximity to Africa), but in practice it turned out that you can freeze there too. There is a small excuse for bewilderment: Dubai was the point of a 16-hour layover, and we were concerned about the weather forecast of another country.
However, unanswered questions constantly swirl in my head. Therefore, today we decided to figure out when is the best time to go on vacation to the UAE?
The full swimming season in the UAE begins in mid-autumn and lasts until winter. In the following months, “fully” is replaced by “partially”, but reappears in April and lasts until the summer.
Our mini-table will help you navigate and visually evaluate the season in the UAE by month:
| January | February | March | April | May | June | July | August | September | October | november | December | |
| UAE | ||||||||||||
✓ It is clear that for most of the year you can safely go to the Emirates on vacation, but in the summer it’s better not to.
✓ Four months of the year are borderline: May and September - because they are on the border of the seasons, and January and February are the coldest months; not everyone is comfortable swimming at this time.
Services for finding cheap tours
The Emirates is a package country (as long as you do not fly somewhere on your own on Emirates or FlyDubai, with a transfer). And therefore the price of vouchers can be good - from 38,000 rubles for a week for two in the low season and from 55 thousand in the high season.
They monitor tours from all leading tour operators and conveniently display options in order from affordable to expensive. Find out what promotional codes apply.
Since writing this article, we have already visited the UAE 4 times: 1 time on our own and 3 times on a tour package. All three tours were purchased on aggregators. We know that the prices there are directly from the tour operator, and when you see a tour in good hotel for 40-60 thousand for two from the region - you have to buy it right away! :)
Still haven’t decided when is the best time to go to the Emirates? Then let's look at it in more detail.
Weather in the UAE (Dubai) by month
In the photo on the left is the famous Parus Hotel - we didn’t like the beach itself,
It's worth coming for the photo
Why is Dubai in the headline? Because it is the most popular of all the resorts in the UAE. Each of the emirates, of course, is unique in its own way, but the climate in them is similar. So we will study the local weather by month, taking the season in Dubai as an example.
UAE in December, January and February
December The weather indulges in temperatures of +27°C during the day. Start to blow north winds, but the water still warms up to +24°C, and the swimming season continues. December is the best time to visit the UAE with children in winter. The cost of a vacation is reasonable, from 35,000 rubles per week for two, only if you are not planning a vacation during the holidays. There are a lot of people wishing to celebrate the New Year in the UAE, which explains the “wild” prices.
We oh-so-want Dubai in December. Both in 2018 and 2019 we spent a week here before the New Year. The weather is wonderful - you can sunbathe without sunscreen, you can also swim, but at the beginning it is cool. The city is decorated for the holidays, there are even Christmas markets. But the main thing is this: from mid-December until ≈ the 25th is a “dead” period for tour operators (all potential vacationers are busy preparing for the New Year). That’s why they are drastically reducing prices for travel packages, and it’s more than possible to fly for 20 thousand rubles per person!
At the end of the text we have inserted our video from our last trip, you can clearly see the weather in December :)
In January beach holidays fade into the background. This month is a good time for excursions and shopping. About the first thing: the air temperature does not rise above +23°C. At night it becomes noticeably chilly, only +18°C. Sea water is for the hardened (Russians, that is), +21°C. About the second: Dubai Shopping Festival lasts all January, and the discounts are real. For example, Zara Home in Dubai is cheaper on sale than in Russia. It would seem that tours should cost even less, but this is not so: the minimum amount is from 40,000 rubles for the same week. And then after the 10th, at the end of the holidays.
In February The weather is very similar to January; by March it gets warmer. The sea warms up to +23°C, and the first brave swimmers splash in the water. We went to Ras al-Khaimah in February, it was fine, we sunbathed and swam. By the way, Persian Gulf, on the shore of which Dubai is located, warms up more slowly. Reviews from tourists recommend resorts in the Gulf of Oman, for example, Fujairah, in February.
UAE in March, April and May
Al Mamzar Beach (Dubai) and Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
In March real warmth is coming. The air temperature rises to +27°С, water – to +24°С. If you are deciding when to fly to the UAE with small children, we recommend March. Prices are slightly higher than in January-February, from 55,000 rubles for 7 days.
Those who find March not a hot enough month should arrange a trip in April . The average daytime temperature in spring is already +32°C and at night does not drop below +25°C. Water temperature – +26°С. Until the 10th, prices are at the March level, and after that they rise to 60,000 rubles.
UAE in June, July, August
In June The thermometer can reach as high as +40°C. The water is heated to +32°C and does not bring any pleasure. Only the most heat-resistant tourists continue the beach season. Sandstorms are common in the country; sand gets clogged up everywhere. I don’t want to talk about prices for tours, it’s obviously not worth it (but if you really need it, then from 60,000 rubles for two).
In July Even locals are trying to leave the country. During the day it’s +42°C, you can only exist where there is air conditioning. In August the heat continues - +43°С during the day, +33°С at night. Water temperature +34°C! Added to all this beauty is increased humidity.
UAE in September, October and November
La Mer Beach in Dubai - in our opinion, the best free beach
In September It’s still hot, the daytime air temperature reaches +38°C, and the night temperature +32°C. The water in the sea is heated to +32°C. Prices for tours this month are quite comparable to summer ones. A seven-day vacation for two will cost from 50,000 rubles.
In October the air becomes cooler by a few more degrees: during the day +33°C, at night +29°C. You can not only sit in the water all the time, but also go for walks. The tourist season is coming. Regarding “all inclusive”: for October 2020 you can find tours from 125,000 rubles for two for 7 days.
If you are going on a family vacation in the fall, but are still wondering which month is better to go on vacation, my advice to you is to choose October, and the first half of it. The mild climate is suitable for children, and the prices are not the highest for parents.
When is the best time to vacation in the UAE? Our experience
View from the observation deck from Burj Khalifa, it is better to buy tickets in advance
(details below) and Bin Rashid Boulevard (main pedestrian street)
Naturally, when it’s not too hot and not too expensive! This definition best suits us December(we explained why in the text above). October when the season just begins, and April when the season ends - also good, provided that you need a warm sea. They will share our “best month in the UAE” nomination.
What to see in the UAE?
Must visit the very, very best of all Arab wonders:
- Burj Khalifa in Dubai - tallest skyscraper peace with observation deck(follow the link - our text about where it is more profitable to buy tickets)
- Palm Jumeirah - large artificial island, built off the coast of Dubai (the walk is free)
- Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi is recognized as the most beautiful mosque on our planet!
- Ancient forts of Ras al Khaimah
- King Faisal Mosque in Sharjah
In the mosques on this list, as well as in the Jumeirah Mosque in Dubai, people of other faiths are admitted freely and free of charge (on Fridays - an exception, they are closed to tourists).
We can say that Dubai in the UAE is the only city that is good in any season. Even in summer +40°C there is a place to hide from the heat, and there is something to do at the same time (of course, if you are ready to spend your entire vacation in kilometers of air-conditioned shopping centers).
Our reviews
In addition to visiting the Sheikh Zayed Mosque
The jeep safari is definitely worth trying!
We never tire of repeating that the pledge have a nice holiday is a thorough study of reviews. And for those who are too lazy to read a multi-book, everything important points I put it into one small list:
- They write on the Internet that the UAE is a Muslim country, and therefore one should adhere to certain rules in clothing, especially for women: for example, do not appear outside the hotel with an open neckline and exposed knees. All this is outdated information, in Dubai, girls-girls-women calmly walk around in leggings and tops, short shorts and dresses.
P.S. but here the choice is yours - whether to respect local traditions or prefer your own comfort. - The country has a dry law and alcohol is prohibited here. But an exception has been made for foreigners - you can drink in bars or restaurants (Sharjah is the strictest with this). In Dubai, alcohol is not sold in stores.
- You should not go to the Emirates during the holy month of Ramadan - there are many restrictions. But after Ramadan, you can and even need to go, especially for shopping lovers: all large stores are organizing sales. In 2020, Ramadan falls on April 23-May 23.
- The beach season in the UAE is year-round. But the sun in these latitudes is so active and strong that Europeans burn even in cloudy weather. Take more sunscreen!
Why do we like the UAE? Think for yourself:
– no visa required - no additional hassles or money!
– the tourist season in the UAE begins when something slushy sets in in our latitudes, which means you want to bask in the sun even more
– how long it takes to fly to Dubai will depend on which flight you choose. A direct flight from Moscow will take 5 hours - in principle, not long
By the way, you can see exactly what the end of December looks like in the Emirates in our video:
When is it cheaper to vacation in the UAE?
For those who want to save money and travel to the Emirates outside the holiday season, best month It could be December or the end of May.
It is also worth paying attention to where to choose a tour. As mentioned above, the coast of the Gulf of Oman has a milder climate than the resorts of the Persian Gulf (Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al-Khaimah or Abu Dhabi). And Sharjah and Ras al-Khaimah will cost less than futuristic Dubai or the capital Abu Dhabi.

The holiday season in the UAE begins in October and ends in April. Before your trip, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the weather in the UAE by month.
United United Arab Emirates are located in the arid region of the tropical climate, which explains the presence of deserts in the country.
Climate features in the UAE:
- Warm short winter.
- Summer is long and hot.
- Very high temperatures.
- Low moisture coefficient.
- Very little rainfall.
The rainy season is from December to March, but there is also little rainfall during this period. Distinctive feature climate is the Shamal wind, which blows in summer from Saudi Arabia to the low pressure area that forms in the UAE in the warm season. The wind lifts desert sands, forming sandstorms. The water temperature of the Persian Gulf reaches 33°C in summer and drops to 16-24°C in winter.
Weather by month
In winter, tourists are offered numerous heated swimming pools. This is the time most often chosen to get acquainted with the sights and cultural traditions of the UAE.
Winter period marks the beginning of discounts. At festivals you can find products with discounts of over 80%. Late autumn and winter are the rainy season. The season is characterized by short showers and thunderstorms.
During some months of the holiday season in the UAE, tourists can be caught off guard by sandstorms
Sandstorms become more frequent in spring and summer. Some storms can cover entire cities. At the same time, small grains of sand enter the respiratory tract, making breathing difficult and causing severe dry mouth.
Air temperature by month
The UAE (the holiday season by month with descriptions of the resorts are described below) is characterized by high temperatures throughout the year.
| Month | Daytime temperature, °C | Temperature at night, °C |
| January | 24 | 15 |
| February | 25 | 17 |
| March | 29 | 19 |
| April | 33 | 23 |
| May | 38 | 27 |
| June | 39 | 28 |
| July | 42 (sometimes 50) | 30 |
| August | 41 | 30 |
| September | 39 | 28 |
| October | 35 | 25 |
| November | 30 | 20 |
| December | 26 | 17 |
In winter, it is recommended to wear warm clothes at night. The coldest temperature is reached in January, February becomes slightly warmer, and the warmest month of winter is December. In January and February, most tourists prefer walks and excursions to significant places in the UAE, as well as visiting shops, since January is the coldest month. 
In March, the temperature rises sharply - the difference between February and April is 8°C. The temperature at night is at least 20°C. The beginning of May is the most comfortable time of the year, as it is warm during the day and cool at night.
Between the end of May and the beginning of August, temperatures are very high, which affects all residents. The hottest month is July. People suffer from sunstroke and burns, the heat does not subside even at night. August is more favorable for tourism and business trips. The heat and stuffiness is diluted by the wind blowing from the desert. Throughout autumn there is a gradual decrease in temperature.
Water temperature by month
The UAE (the holiday season by month depends, among other things, on the water temperature in the bays) has very different climates in different parts of the country, which is reflected in the water temperature in the Persian and Ottoman Gulfs.
The table below shows the average water temperatures of the bays:
| Month | Average water temperature in the Persian Gulf, °C | Average water temperature in the Ottoman Gulf, °C |
| January | 17 | 12 |
| February | 18 | 10 |
| March | 22 | 15 |
| April | 24 | 16 |
| May | 27 | 20 |
| June | 29 | 25 |
| July | 31 | 26 |
| August | 33 | 26 |
| September | 31 | 24 |
| October | 27 | 23 |
| November | 24 | 22 |
| December | 18 | 16 |
In the winter season, swimming is not recommended, but at this time tourists and local residents prefer to sunbathe. The risk of sunburn is almost zero.
The Ottoman Gulf is warming up more slowly than the Persian Gulf. Already in March, the Persian Gulf is warm enough for swimming. At this time, the temperature of the Ottoman Gulf reaches only 15°C. In summer, the water in the Persian Gulf resembles fresh milk, while in the Ottoman Gulf the water is cool.
In autumn, the water in the Ottoman Gulf cools slowly, so by the end of autumn the water temperature of the two bays is approximately the same.
Average annual precipitation
The UAE is a very dry country. Humidity affects the fog and stuffiness, which in turn affects the holiday season. The table below shows the UAE's rainfall and humidity by month.
| Month | Precipitation amount, mm | Humidity, % |
| January | 11 | 45 |
| February | 35 | 45 |
| March | 34 | 55 |
| April | 10 | 60 |
| May | 3 | 50 |
| June | 1 | 70 |
| July | 2 | 80-90 |
| August | 3 | 90 |
| September | 1 | 72 |
| October | 2 | 63 |
| November | 4 | 50 |
| December | 10 | 50 |
Total annual precipitation generally does not exceed 800 mm, and humidity ranges from 45% to 90%. 
February is the wettest month (about 1/3 of the annual precipitation falls).
In March, rains are rare and end quickly. April is a foggy month. Fog discourages many tourists as it interferes with sightseeing. There is little rain. In May, there is less fog and humidity decreases. In summer, tourists try to go to coastal areas, which are especially popular coastal areas Ottoman Gulf.
June is particularly dry, so tourists and locals find refuge in the cool pools and air-conditioned rooms. July is the “stuffiest” month; many note a lack of oxygen. In August, humidity remains at its highest level, but the stuffiness recedes. 
At the beginning of autumn, fogs appear, but the humidity decreases. In November it starts to rain, but don't count on downpours. December is not much different from November - but the amount of precipitation continues to increase.
Authorities are concerned about droughts, so Swiss scientists are developing a way to create artificial rainfall for the UAE. In 2010, 52 artificial rains were caused.
When winter begins, summer
The UAE, the month-by-month holiday season in which was described earlier, is distinguished by a long summer, starting in mid-May and lasting until the end of September. This time of year is characterized by sweltering heat, high humidity and solar radiation. During the day, the weather forces residents to stay in air-conditioned rooms or cool pools.
The following people should not visit the UAE in summer:
- With kids.
- Having pathologies associated with the cardiovascular system.
- Having pathologies of the endocrine system.
- Suffering from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
From mid-May to mid-June there are many pilgrims in the country, and there are also restrictions associated with Ramadan. Ramadan also affects transport. Winter occurs in January – February. The winter season is characterized by morning fogs. There is no snow, so the streets are decorated with foam snowmen. At the end of winter comes the rainy season. 
The temperature in winter, as a rule, does not fall below 10°C, but in rare cases it can reach 0°C. As mentioned above, winter is a season of discounts, but in holidays prices are rising rapidly. There are practically no sandstorms in winter.
Tourist season
The UAE, whose holiday season varies greatly between months, is visited annually by more than 15 million tourists. Depending on the number of tourists and available entertainment, several periods are distinguished.
High season
The beach season takes place twice a year: March-April and October-November. This time is characterized by comfortable weather and warm water of the bays. Sightseeing and shopping are popular during peak tourist season. The streets are crowded and prices are inflated. In winter, the UAE is visited mainly on holidays - there are many festivals.
Low season
In the summer (from May to September) the streets are unbearably hot, it becomes difficult to breathe, so there are very few tourists. Among those who dare to visit the country in the summer, visiting aquariums, dolphinariums, water parks and indoor (under a roof) attractions is popular.
Average sunshine hours per day
In the UAE quantity sunny days is 350-360 days. The sun is very active, so the number of hours of sunshine is quite high, especially in the summer. 
The table shows data on sunshine hours in UAE cities:
| Months | Average number of sunshine hours by city, h (indicators are rounded in accordance with the rules of mathematics) | ||||
| Dubai | Abu Dhabi | Al Ain | Ras Al Khaimah | Fujairah | |
| January | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| February | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| March | 8 | 8 | 9 | 8 | 8 |
| April | 10 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 9 |
| May | 11 | 11 | 11 | 11 | 11 |
| June | 11 | 11 | 11 | 11 | 11 |
| July | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
| August | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 |

| November | 10 | 10 | 10 | 9 | 9 |
| December | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
During a summer day, the sun heats with different strengths:
The number of hours of sunshine depends on the location of the city - the further north the city is, the fewer hours of sunshine.
Weather in cities and resorts by month
The weather of cities depends on the following natural factors:
- Proximity or distance from the ocean and bays.
- Proximity or distance from the desert.
- Southern or northern location (relative to the general territory of the UAE).
Popular resort cities are discussed below.
Sharjah
Sharjah is a coastal city, the ocean brings some moisture and coolness. The air temperature during the day is 1-2 °C lower than the average temperature in the UAE, but at night it is 2-3 °C hotter than the average.
Temperature by season:
The beach season in autumn is shifted by 1 month (November-December). Precipitation is extremely low, and the average daily number of sunshine hours per day is quite high. The maximum precipitation is achieved in March (10.8 mm), and the minimum in May and June (0.1 mm). Between October and April, precipitation exceeds 1 mm.
Ajman
The weather in Ajman is similar to the weather in Sharjah. For example, the average air temperature varies by about 1°C between months. A significant difference between Ajaman and Sharjah is the amount of precipitation.
Temperatures in Ajman are above average:
- Winter: 24-26°C during the day / 20-22°C at night.
- Spring: 28-37°C during the day / 23-30°C at night.
- Summer: 40-41°C during the day / 31-33°C at night.
- In autumn: 31-39°C during the day / 24-38°C at night.
The hottest months are July and August, the wettest month is March (10.1 mm). There is no precipitation in September.
The average daily number of sunny hours is equal to or greater than 10 hours.
The water temperature is above average, so not all tourists decide to swim in October and November.
Ras al Khaimah
Ras al Khaimah, or Ras Al Khaimah, is located along the ocean. The weather in the city is almost no different from average. Daytime temperatures in Ras Al Khaimah are equal to those in Ajman. At night the temperature drops to 18°C in winter and 32°C in summer. 
The maximum precipitation is 6.9 mm (in March). During 6 months (from November to April) precipitation falls more than 1 mm. In September the amount of precipitation is 0 mm. The wind blows weakly, bringing very little precipitation and coolness. The temperature of coastal waters, on the contrary, is above average, so beach season falls on December-April.
Umm Al Quwain
Umm Al Quwain is the smallest emirate in terms of population. It is called differently: Umm al-Quwain and Umm al-Qaiwain - due to difficulties in pronunciation English name Umm Al Quwain.

Today we will begin to get acquainted, or rather find out some details of the holiday in such a young, but already everyone famous country United Arab Emirates or UAE.
The country was formed only in 1971, then it included only 6 emirates (these are like states in America) and in 1972 the seventh emirate joined the UAE. On this moment The UAE consists of seven emirates: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah and Sharjah. 
The rapid development of the young country's economy occurred due to a sharp jump in prices for oil and petroleum products. At that time, it was the UAE that was the legislator in global oil pricing policy.
UAE are federal state. Each of the emirates is a self-sufficient state with an absolute monarchy. The head of the country's government is the emir of the largest emirate - Abu Dhabi.
Almost 70% of the country's population are migrant workers from South Asian countries.
The state is located in the east of the Arabian Peninsula. The country's neighbors are: Saudi Arabia– west and south; Oman – southeast and northeast; Persian Gulf - north.
For some time now, oil profits began to account for only 40% of GDP. The Emirates are intensively developing the tourism industry in their country, despite the unfavorable climate.
And the climate here is tropical desert ( most The country's territory is occupied by the Rub al-Khali desert. That is, there may be no precipitation in the country for several years. In summer, the average temperature fluctuates around +35 degrees, and in winter it does not fall below +23 degrees.
In the Emirates, even transport stops are equipped with air conditioning; in the summer there is nothing to breathe on the street! The thermometer calmly rises above +45 degrees.
Some northern coastal areas of the UAE are covered with salt. Mountains are found only in the north of the country.
Total natural world It is quite sparse, there is no variety of flora and fauna. By order of the government of the country, the territory of the UAE is artificially planted with vegetation.
And with all these negative natural factors Nowadays, the United Emirates is one of the most attractive holiday destinations. And that's why:
- Quite close to home. The flight is not as long as in or.
- Simplified visa regime. For example, for Russian citizens, from February 1, 2017, a tourist trip to the UAE does not require a visa in advance. It can be issued at the airport for a period of 30 days, free of charge.
For citizens from other CIS countries, a visa is also issued upon arrival. But it will cost $85 if you book a hotel for at least three days. If children are registered in their parents' passport, then a visa is issued for them free of charge.
When is the best time to vacation in the UAE?
Summer in the UAE.
Since the country is located close to the equator, the warm (in our understanding) period of the year here passes at critically high temperatures. There are periods in the summer when the thermometer is calmly located at +50 degrees in the shade! It is simply impossible to be outside while the sun is shining.
In summer, the Emirates experiences a low tourist season. Although, at the same time, prices for tours to this country are falling.
In the summer in the Emirates, even water cannot cool you down. The water temperature off the coast reaches +38 degrees!
On a summer day, the only thing you can do for entertainment is to lie in your room under the air conditioning until the evening, when the temperature outside drops a little.
Alternatively, you can go to the largest. Well, or to the water park.
Summer also marks the celebration of the largest Muslim holiday, Ramadan. Residents of the United Emirates are already quite conservative in religious matters, and during the holiday they try to observe strictness in everything. They want to see the same from visitors. Accordingly, Ramadan is not best time for holidays in the United Arab Emirates.
Autumn in the UAE.
Autumn is a blessed time for a comfortable holiday in the Emirates. Only you need to go there not from September, but closer to October. The wild heat gradually goes away, the sea continues to delight with its warm embrace. During the day you can explore the surrounding attractions or local bazaars. And what’s good is that prices for tours here in October have not yet reached their maximum (as in the High Season).
At the end of September and beginning of October, the country, or rather its coastal part, may be covered sandstorms. The only thing quiet place- Fujairah resort. It is surrounded on all sides by mountains, which saves it from the ubiquitous sand.
Another “unusual” thing about autumn is the November rains. Precipitation can occur several times a month.
Starting in November, vacationers gradually begin to flock to the country en masse. The high tourist season begins.
Winter in the UAE.
In winter, our people experience quite comfortable temperatures: within +24 degrees. True, the water can be cool in the morning, about +22 degrees.
In general, the winter months are more suitable for various excursions. Because the average water temperature (in February) drops to +17 degrees. Not the most comfortable temperatures for sunbathing on the beach.
By the way, the regular rains of February only add to the negativity.
But December and January can please you with comfortable water temperatures and a pleasant holiday on the beach. Although many tourists prefer to splash in hotel pools or huge entertainment water complexes.
December still attracts the eve of the New Year and Christmas holidays. The country turns into a colorful exotic picture with lots of Christmas entertainment and fairs. By the way, by the end of December, huge Christmas sales begin to open in UAE stores. What attracts you to the country great amount avid shoppers.
Spring in the UAE.
In March it is still quite cool (you can’t swim), and rain is quite common. But by mid-season the weather improves significantly. Already in April, the thermometer does not drop below +30 degrees, the water warms up to +24 degrees. Temperatures in May 
rise another couple of degrees.
But still, in the second half of spring you can freely sunbathe on the beach almost the entire daylight hours without fear of getting sunburned.
In spring it is good to come on holiday to the Emirates with children or elderly people.
Even in the spring, diving enthusiasts fly to the Emirates. During this period, the coastal waters are surprisingly clear, which is perfect for good diving.
The United Arab Emirates attracts tourists all year round. You just need to understand that this country is southern and most of it is occupied by desert. And therefore in the summer it will be really hot here.
But the Emirates attracts tourists not only with its ideal nature and gentle sea, as they do. People come to the Emirates for high-quality entertainment, for technical innovations (as strange as this may sound), for shopping centers that are unreal in scale and their discounts.
And just coming to see a Muslim country that was closed in the past is also very interesting.
