January is considered the winter month in this country, but it is warm and dry here. During the day, about +23 degrees, but the water in the Persian and Oman Gulfs warms up to no more than +20, so only the most courageous and hardened risk swimming.
But this should not upset you, because in hotels you can always plunge into the pool with pleasant heated water. But everyone can sunbathe here at this time. Although it does rain, it is small at this time of the year, and it will not interfere with your rest. As you can see, holidays in the UAE in January have their own characteristics.
Weather forecast for UAE in January
What to do in the UAE in winter?
In this amazing country there are many wonderful parks, water parks with attractions and entertainment.
At this time of the year, the flow of tourists is significantly weakened, and prices are slightly reduced. At this time, you can buy last minute vouchers, it is easier to choose a hotel, but we recommend booking a hotel room in advance.
In winter, the sun is less beating, so long-distance excursions can be made more comfortably. In Ajman, in the west of the UAE, it is recommended to visit the National History Museum.
You can go here by jeep on a desert safari or into the mountains and see dry river beds, visit the Bedouins, get acquainted with their harsh life.
Be sure to visit at least one of the water parks of this country or take a walk on the sea on a yacht or small boat, which traveled here in the old days.
Al Ain Oasis
You are driving through a sandy desert, where there is nothing to stop your gaze, and suddenly, among the boundless sand, a blooming Al Ain oasis appears. It is best to come here in winter, because in the summer months, the temperature rises to +40! There is a museum, a healing spring, a zoo, a 17th century fort. Camel races are held in winter. And everything is buried in greenery, so you will forget that there is a lifeless desert nearby.
If possible, be sure to visit the local baths. This includes massage, hair care, pedicure and manicure. This is makeup and tea ceremony.
