Best time to go to Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi’s a great pick for hot holidays at any time of the year. Temperature-wise, July and August are the city’s warmest months, with temperatures rising to the mid-thirties. Even during January – the coolest month – you can expect to see the mercury bobbing around the late teens. You’d be unlucky to see any rainfall, as the city often goes months without seeing a drop.
