Protection from the scorching Arabian sun is vital on any trip to the capital of the UAE. This means high factor sun cream is an absolutely necessary defence that should be supported with as many caps, collared shirts and sunglasses as you can carry.
The heat of the day will make any clothes that are tight and heavy an annoyance. Therefore, ditch the jeans and think about loose fitting trousers to go with loose linen or cotton shirts. The air conditioning in malls and restaurants will ensure that you are cool and won’t miss walking in public in beach wear. Make sure you pack some swimming gear so that you can take a dip (and possibly a snorkel) in the lovely waters of the Persian Gulf and of course in the hotel pool. If you are planning to visit any religious or cultural sites remember to pack some more conservative clothes so that you can respect the local customs while seeing the amazing sights.
As it is situated to on the eastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula, Abu Dhabi has a sub-tropical, arid climate. Year-round sunshine alongside beautifully blue skies and very little rainfall is to be expected.
