The Best Time To Visit Abu Dhabi
UAE’s capital city, Abu Dhabi, is known to have sunshine all year round, with an occasional rainy day in between.
If you are looking to celebrate in this fantastic Emirate, we suggest making a trip anytime between October and March. The weather is pleasant, cooler and less humid.
During the cooler months, Abu Dhabi comes to life with many events and activities worth experiencing. With concerts, Formula 1 races, and UFC, the Emirate comes alive.
If you are a budget-conscious traveller, making a trip during the holy month of Ramadan is another excellent option.
The flights and hotel rates are considerably cheaper, and you won’t be bumping into a lot of crowds during the day as most of the residents are either at work or observing their fast.
However, some key points to keep in mind when visiting during Ramadan would be, to dress conservatively, avoid any form of PDAs, and definitely be conscious not to eat in public.
Restaurants are open and ready for customers, however, eating along the street would be frowned upon.
All that being said if you want to get a feel for the culture, Ramadan is a fantastic time to visit. Experience Suhoor or Iftar lavish meals with locals featuring incredible Arabic dishes.
