- When to go:
The best time to visit Abu Dhabi for a beach vacation is during the cooler months, from November to March. During this period, the weather is pleasantly warm, making it ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and enjoying water sports.
- November to March: This is the peak season for tourists, as the temperatures range from 18°C to 30°C, providing a comfortable climate for outdoor activities without the intense heat of the summer months.
- April and May: These months mark the transition from the moderate spring to the hotter summer. While still good for beach visits, temperatures start to climb, reaching up to 35°C.
- June to August: These are the hottest months, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C. It's less ideal for a beach vacation due to the extreme heat and humidity.
- September and October: The heat starts to subside, but it can still be quite warm. These months can be considered if you prefer a less crowded time, but the sea can still be quite warm from the summer heat.
Overall, for the best beach experience with comfortable weather and a lively atmosphere, aim for the cooler, peak tourist season between November and March.
