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.

We recently worked with Jacqueline to plan our trip to Greece and had a wonderful experience. We made several revisions to our itinerary and Jacqueline was patient, understanding and prompt in responding to our needs. In addition to the specific tours she booked, she provided extra options and local suggestions for each place we visited in Greece. Her attention to detail and responsiveness made our trip incredibly memorable. Mark Mendell

We have used Goway several times to plan simple & more complicated trips. The last 2 trips we worked with Brooke Theron who is extremely customer focused. She listens well & is alway flexible to look at alternatives. We will continue using this representative & Goway. Our only criticism is that they do not break down the various costs of a trip which makes tipping very awkward. It can also create a sense of " mistrust" when all the costs are not transparent.

Our trip to Switzerland was an amazing experience. Our travel agent at GoWay, Bo was so helpful in helping my husband Louie plan just what we wanted to do on this trip. Taking the trains thru the county was easy by the many hours Louie and Bo worked on this. Also our helicopter ride in Zermatt on my birthday was just unbelievable. Flying around the Matterhorn and the Alps is one flight we will never forget. Thanks Bo for setting this up. The trip was one incredible adventure that we will never forget. Thanks again Bo, Lynn Gerber. Lynn Gerber

We booked a Goway tour to Botswana and Zimbabwe and it was excellent.  We worked with Brooke, the Goway represntative, to set up the tour and she was an outstanding agent who answered any questions we had very quickly and completely. Her hotel recommendation for the additional night we stayed was pefect.   Goway hires a local tour group, Jenman Safaris, to lead the safari in the 2 countries. The tour itself was amazing...the lodges that we stayed at were very nice and the food was great (except for one lodge's food). The Goway itinerary was slightly different than the actual Jenman Safari itinerary but most of the sites that we went to were the same as listed on the Goway itinerary. I would use Goway again because their choice of a local tour group was very good...nice lodges/camps and good food and knowledgeable tour guides.Ma Fa

Our GoWay tour representative, Michael Keon, was on top of all of our concerns and questions in a professional manner and we look forward to working with him in the future. Michael was very easy to work with and treated us like family.Thomas

Matthew handled my honeymoon couple's very specific African itinerary like a pro! My clients went to four different travel agents who only wanted to send them on safaris. My clients had already done safaris and were specific on what they wanted to do and see. Matthew hit the nail on the head! Highly recommend!Amanda Schott

Jacqueline F. made our trip exceptional. Everything she planned or reserved worked out as it was supposed to. Croatia was amazing and I feel we were able to explore a lot of it because of Jacqueline.Allen
