Best Time to Visit

From vibrant winters to sizzling summers, UAE offers timeless adventures.

UAE is a melting pot of different activities, so for every activity, there is a right time to visit and experience them. The tourist season in the UAE is categorized into three seasons — summer, winter, and spring. The winter (November to March) is the peak tourist season, with temperatures around 68 F to 86 F. This is excellent for outdoor activities like sightseeing, relaxing on the beaches, and other activities. If outdoor activities are what you crave, well, plan your trip during the winter.

Are you seeking indoor as well as outdoor activities at the same time? If yes, spring is your season. During spring (April and May), the UAE experiences a gradual increase in temperatures. This is the best time to experience both sides of the world before it gets too hotter, which happens by late May.

If you are into indoor activities like shopping or enjoying indoor attractions, visit the UAE in the summer. Summer (June to September) in the UAE is extremely hot, with temperatures reaching over 122 F. This period is less favourable for outdoor activities and more favorable for indoor activities. When you visit the UAE in summer, make sure to pay a visit to family-friendly attractions like Dubai Mall Ice Rink, SKI Dubai, iFLY Dubai, and Green Planet to name a few.

Ultimately, the best time to visit the UAE depends on the kind of activities you and your family want. For outdoor adventures, the best time to visit the UAE is in winter. If you are more into indoor activities and want to avoid travellers during peak season, plan a trip during the summer.

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay

Kimberly Brown from Goway Travel made my trip to Australia & New Zealand a very memorable and remarkable experience. Every step and detail was fantastic and I will never forget the trip of a lifetime and it was because of the experience of Kimberly. If you are thinking about taking a trip to New Zealand and Australia, I highly recommend contacting Kimberly from Goway travel. David Klein

We had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthy
