The UAE's tropical desert climate means very hot summers and warm, comfortable winters. For those preferring to avoid the intense summer heat, the best time to visit is from October to May when temperatures hover around a pleasant 24 to 35 degrees. That being said, indoor activities across all Emirates offer temperature-controlled environments, making the UAE a year-round destination.

Seek solitude in the less crowded and relatively cooler months of January and February if you’re after tranquility. Whether you’re setting up base at the Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island, the glamorous Riu Dubai, or the Conrad Hotel Abu Dhabi, be assured of a dreamy Arabian getaway.

Experience glitz and glamour in Dubai's vibrant nightlife scene, that effortlessly combines chic rooftop bars, beach clubs, and pulsating nightclubs. The city dances to the rhythm of global DJs, serving up an attractive menu of international beats.

Abu Dhabi also boasts a sophisticated nightlife, where eco-friendly beach clubs, luxury bars atop towering architectures, and vibrant night markets come to life as the sun sets.

For something a bit different, take part in one of the desert safaris across the UAE, where traditional Bedouin campfires offer dining under starlit skies, live music and performances.

Sharjah, although less flamboyant, offers a wide range of cultural activities and events. Evenings here can be spent exploring art galleries or enjoying traditional music and dance shows.

In contrast to its scintillating counterparts, the nightlife in Ajman is all about laid-back evenings, serenaded by the tranquil ocean waves.
