With breathtaking landmarks, UNESCO Heritage sites, and a vibrant calendar of cultural events and festivals, Abu Dhabi offers endless experiences throughout the year. Add to that the allure of Saadiyat and Yas Island, and there’s never a wrong time to plan your getaway. Read on to discover the highlights you can enjoy based on the season of your visit.
January
With warm but mild temperatures, visiting Abu Dhabi in January is a perfect way to start off the year. Average temperatures range from 18°c to 24°c—warm enough you won’t even need heated pools—and the weather is very dry. As the coolest month in the Abu Dhabi year, this is an especially great time for sightseers to visit, as it will be easiest to stay cool while touring the many sights and attractions of the city.
February
With similar temperatures to January, this remains a great time to get active and explore everything that Abu Dhabi has to offer. Take a fantastic walking tour of the most beautiful regions of the city, or take advantage of events like the Al Hosn Festival, celebrating the city’s vibrant heritage at its most beloved historic site: Qasr Al Hosn.

April
Enjoy sunny beach holiday weather with highs of 32°c, and at a perfect time of year to take advantage of the Easter school break to go on a family holiday together. Pick a family-oriented resort in an area like Yas Island for the best experience, where numerous nearby theme parks provide an amazing time for all ages.
May
With early summer beginning in earnest, those who adore hot climates will be in fantastic stead, taking advantage of 37°c average highs. Positioned after the Easter holidays but before the height of summer, this is a perfect window to visit Abu Dhabi for laid-back beach luxury without having to worry about the crowds.
June
As well as the warm summer temperatures, June offers opportunities for wildlife lovers on Saadiyat Island. This is the height of nesting season for female Hawksbill turtles, and tours may point out nest sites that are being protected….and if you’re lucky, you may spot these critically endangered animals in the water.
July
Those visiting in July have the opportunity to attend the Liwa Date Festival, celebrating an essential element of Emirati culture which has been cultivated in Abu Dhabi for 5,000 years. As well as learning about Emirati history, this is a great time to browse the souks for traditional artisan crafts. Alternatively, for those keen to escape the heat, there could be no better time to visit Louvre Abu Dhabi and discover its awe-inspiring artworks and exhibitions.
August
Take the kids along during the Summer School Holidays for a fantastic Abu Dhabi family holiday. Whether you want to take little ones to enjoy Warner Bros World™ Yas Island, tour turtle reserves on Saadiyat Island, or enjoy thrilling rides at Ferrari World Yas Island, August is a great time to visit.
September
Marking the start of turtle hatching season, lucky guests on Saadiyat Island may have a chance to see endangered baby turtles.
