The United Arab Emirates is preferred by those who value comfort in everything and strive for a comfortable and civilized vacation. The seas of the UAE are no exception, the main advantages of which are cleanliness and pleasant temperatures in any season.
Which sea is washed by the UAE?
A state in the east of the Arabian Peninsula, the UAE is washed by two gulfs - Persian and Oman. They belong to the Indian Ocean basin and are connected to it through the Arabian Sea. The strait connecting the bays is called Hormuz.
The Persian Gulf is shallow, and its maximum point on the bottom is at a distance of no more than 102 meters from the surface. The bay stretches for more than 900 kilometers in length, and in its widest part the distance between the shores is 320 kilometers.
The Gulf of Oman is much more impressive in terms of the depth of its waters. The lowest point of its bottom is almost 3700 meters below sea level. The bay is 450 kilometers long and 330 kilometers wide.

Man-made miracles
The main leader in the number of tourists among the emirates is Dubai, and therefore its beaches are the most popular and densely populated during the peak season. To attract tourists and their convenience, Dubai has built famous beach parks on the shores of the Persian Gulf, where almost all travelers spend the lion's share of their vacation time.
Another man-made miracle allows you to answer the question, which seas in the UAE are short and capaciously fantastic! We are talking about the famous Palm Islands - artificial artificial structures that have increased the coastline by as much as seven dozen kilometers. The first created island resembles a palm tree in shape, on the "trunk" of which there are "leaves" with hotels and restaurants, shopping centers and entertainment complexes.
Following the "palm", Arab sorcerers began construction of the "Mir" archipelago, the islands of which were copying the map of the Earth. Thanks to him, the coastline of the sea in the UAE has again increased by more than 230 kilometers.
About weather and nature
The water temperature on the beaches and resorts of the United Arab Emirates varies significantly at different times of the year. At the height of summer, the thermometer can overcome the mark even at +30 degrees, and therefore the best time for swimming is early morning and first half of the day.

For those who like colder temperatures, the best season for a holiday in the Emirates is winter. The water in the sea warms up to +19 degrees, and therefore the refreshing effect of water procedures brings the greatest satisfaction.
