Abu Dhabi Holidays
Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates, and without a doubt one of the world’s most luxurious and wealthy cities. Much like Dubai, Abu Dhabi is a sprawling Middle Eastern metropolis, where you’ll find five-star resorts, immaculate beaches, designer boutiques and futuristic skyscrapers.
BEST TIME TO VISIT:
The best time to visit Abu Dhabi is during the months of October to April, as the summer is hot with high humidity levels. Peak summer temperatures in Abu Dhabi can be as high as 50c.
It’s important to observe each year when the Holy Month of Ramadan will occur. The 9th month in the Hijri calendar (the start date changes by approximately 10 days on the Gregorian calendar each year) is a period of deep religious reflection for Muslims and is strictly observed. The most important thing to consider is fasting, with no eating in public allowed.
