Best time to Visit
Good time to visit
Average time to visit
The best time to visit the UAE is between October and April when temperatures hang around the mid-20s and the humidity is under control.
The month of Ramadan means hotel rates are heavily discounted, but while outside the resort, Ramadan is strictly adhered to, within the resorts you will notice very little difference.
High summer (July and August) is best avoided due to the extremely high temperatures, where it can regularly reach 50c, with 100% humidity.
Insider's View
The kids club really is excellent, with so much space and so many facilities - Rotana is a wonderful place for families.
Villas right on the beach are a rarity in the UAE, and the villas here are particuarly well positioned - allowing you views straight out on the turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea.
