UAE in January: weather, water temperature and tourist reviews

Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah are very beautiful and modern cities that every tourist should visit. If you arrive in the Emirates at the height of the beach season, you are unlikely to see all their beauty. Therefore, the best time to travel here is the middle of winter. It is in January 2020 that the weather in the UAE is more suitable for excursions and walks. The water temperature in the sea is not low, but only a few bathe. Most of the tourists prefer to spend time near the pools and walk, admiring the beautiful cities. If you have the desire and opportunity to fly here at this time of the year, then this is what awaits you here.




Firstly, the most beautiful cities with their incredible and unique architecture await you. There are thousands of attractions and new wonders of the world. A simple walk will be remembered forever and will give you a lot of memories. And you will look at the photographs taken again and again, missing Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi ...


However, there are a few things you need to know before you travel. For example, the fact that January is the coldest month of the year in the UAE. Although if you tell the inhabitants of the north that +22 is cold, they will laugh for a long time.
On average, during the daytime, the air temperature does not exceed +22 +24 degrees. Very, very rarely, it can rise to +28, and if this happens, tourists immediately rush closer to the water to freshen up.


At night, after sunset, the air cools quite quickly. Already by ten o'clock in the evening the temperature can drop to +15, and at midnight even up to +11 degrees. After a fairly warm day, this weather will really seem cold.


As for the water in the sea, it is neither cold nor warm. The temperature of the Persian Gulf is around +19 degrees. If you are a "walrus" and are not afraid of such temperatures, then you can safely swim. Most just walk along the coast, occasionally go into the water with their feet just to feel it. There are no high waves at this time, so you will not see surfers. But divers are constantly diving under water to admire the marine life and swim along the bottom in search of treasures from sunken ships.

There is almost no rain in January. Sometimes it may rain a little, but it will last no more than an hour, and the amount of precipitation is 10-20 millimeters. There are no strong winds, there may be sandstorms at this time, but more often they do without them.

Daylight hours are increasing day by day. There are more and more hours of sunshine and from this the average air temperature is gradually increasing. According to statistics, the sun shines every day for 10:45 hours. This is quite enough to go on excursions and walk around the city. And when it gets dark, you can wander around the huge entertainment centers and visit a variety of restaurants.

Where is the best place to relax in the UAE in January: table

There are not many cities in the Emirates and even fewer resorts. Therefore, the table is small, but you need to take a closer look at it in order to decide where it is best to relax in the second month of winter.

Bright sun, warm sea, multi-meter dunes, desert landscapes, mesmerizing "red sand zones" are available to tourists in the UAE all year round. January is an auspicious month as there is no low season in the Emirates. This country breaks all records for comfort, luxury and hospitality.

Weather conditions at the resorts

The climate of the UAE allows you to relax by the sea in winter. The temperature during the day is +28-30°C, and at night +17-20°C, the water warms up to +20-23°C. However, it is windy and some rain is possible.

The water in the Persian Gulf is warm enough for swimming, although below normal. In some years it cooled down to 21 degrees.

The water on the east coast is warmer, as the warm Indian Ocean is closer.

Gulf resorts cool faster and take longer to warm up.

In January, it is better to choose eastern resorts for a beach holiday, although according to statistics it is warmer in the western ones :)

Why the UAE attracts tourists in January

During this period, tourists will especially enjoy beach holidays and shopping.

The beaches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have white sand, while those in Ras Al Khaimah are red. But everyone is distinguished by cleanliness and developed infrastructure:

  • changing cabins
  • rescuers
  • sunbeds
  • umbrellas
  • beach activities

Most of them are free and public. But for a couple of dollars, you can protect yourself from a large number of tourists and buy a ticket to a private beach. They are in every resort.

shopping

From the first days of January, the winter festival of sales begins with discounts from 30% to 80%. Bargaining is offered everywhere, except for state supermarkets.

The UAE is a free trade zone with a low duty and prices are much lower there. Visiting shopping centers is one of the favorite activities of tourists. It is especially profitable to buy fur coats and gold. The price for 1 gram of gold is $13.5, but bargaining is possible up to $12. Prices for electronics are lower by 20-30%.

What might a tourist not like this month?

Fujairah and Abu Dhabi are considered less rainy emirates. There is also a risk of catching a sandstorm in winter, but many tourists find the phenomenon interesting and fascinating. In any case, storms can interfere with rest, as you will just have to sit in your room for several days.

Tourists do not need to worry about safety. There are many hiding places in the city. In addition, the event is easily predictable. A few hours before the start of the storm, tourists are warned. The lowest probability of sandstorms in Fujairah.

Strict laws disappoint many tourists:

  • Dress code rule. On the beach you need to be in a swimsuit, but outside you can not. Closed, opaque clothing is allowed to be worn. In an open swimsuit, it is allowed to be on a public beach in the emirates - Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Fujairah, Ajman. In Sharjah and Ras al-Khaimah, people walk on the beach in a closed Muslim swimsuit.
  • Prohibition - there is practically no alcohol anywhere (with the exception of hotels and duty-free). In some emirates, you cannot even carry alcoholic beverages with you. If desired, tourists drink alcohol in the hotel. The police do not suit raids on hotels and bars, but it is important to understand that drinking alcohol on the streets and being in a state of intoxication is prohibited. Punishment is provided from the payment of a fine of 600 dirhams, up to 2 years in prison. Similar penalties apply for smoking, including electronic cigarettes.
  • It is forbidden to publicly show feelings between a man and a woman. The rule applies to the entire territory of the country. It is allowed to hold hands, but kissing and hugging is strictly forbidden, even for married couples. Reports periodically appear in the media that the police have detained a kissing couple. Usually tourists are not detained, but it is better not to risk it. Punishment - 1 month of imprisonment.
  • It is forbidden to photograph Arab women, and men - with their permission.

What sights and excursions to visit

The temperature is comfortable enough to see the famous sights of the UAE:

  • Burj Khalifa;
  • Wild Wadi water park
  • musical fountain;
  • the largest aquarium in the world;
  • Palace of Sheikh Said.

In addition to "urban" attractions, "natural" excursions are popular:

  • camel and jeep safaris;
  • visiting the island-reserve;
  • oasis with high sand dunes

The choice of excursions is large, but we recommend starting with a sightseeing tour of Dubai with a guide. It is better to get on it immediately upon arrival. A local guide will quickly tell you about the peculiarities of living in the country, the most interesting sights and tell you how and where to save money wisely.

New Year holidays and holidays

New Year in the UAE is a grand event. For the sake of it, wealthy tourists flock here from all over the world.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi are hosting an incredible celebrity holiday program. Some tourists come to the Emirates for the stunningly beautiful fireworks launched from the Burj Khalifa skyscraper. A few months, as a rule, all hotels and restaurants are booked.


Interestingly, even on New Year's Eve, drinking alcohol on the street and appearing drunk is prohibited. Buffets and celebrations take place in the hotel and restaurant.

On New Year's holidays, the residence of Santa Claus opens in shopping centers. Tourists can write letters of wishes, sing, dance, have fun. Christmas is not celebrated - a Muslim country. But during the New Year period, various entertainment events are held and most hotels prepare a New Year's show program.

The famous "Shopping Street Festival" is another major global event taking place in January. More than 6,000 stores are ready to provide discounts on various products. On the first day there is a big sale - discounts reach 90%. In addition to it, there is a fashion show, celebrity performances and a lottery, and a car and bars of the purest gold are offered as a prize.

When is the best time to buy tours?

After January 7, the cost of tours to Arab resorts drops by almost half and becomes affordable even for budget tourists. It makes no sense to buy a tour for more than a week. On the contrary, they often fly to Dubai only for the weekend.

When choosing a date, remember that it will get cooler every week. For holidays in January, we recommend the first half of the month.

It is better to purchase tours for the New Year in advance. For other dates, it is quite possible to purchase a tour at a good price for a couple of weeks of the planned departure date.

January tours to the UAE are in great demand among Russians and Ukrainians, because some 5 hours in the air - and goodbye to the cold snowy winter! Hello bright sun! What is the holiday this month in the United Arab Emirates? This is what our Tour-Calendar tried to figure out.

Weather in the UAE in January

Purposefully in January, they don’t come here for a beach holiday, since the temperature regime here is no longer the same as at least two months earlier. Most likely, bathing is under a big question mark. By the standards of the United Arab Emirates, this is the coldest month of the year. Great emphasis is placed on a variety of excursions, since moderately warm, cool weather contributes to this in every possible way. For example, in Dubai (including the palm islands of Jebel Ali) and Ajaman, the air warms up to +24 °C, in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi this value is slightly lower - +23 °C. It is quite chilly at night in the resorts of the Persian Gulf: the air cools down to +12..+13 °C. The coldest evenings are likely in the capital - at +11 °C. On the coast of the Gulf of Oman, things are somewhat different. In Fujairah at noon, the thermometer shows +24 ° C, and at night it is not lower than +18 ° C. If you head inland, away from the coastal strip open to the winds, then here the sun, despite the minimum activity in January, can even bake. For example, going on an excursion to Al Ain, where a huge number of historical sights are concentrated, you will find +15 °C at night and +26 °C during the day. In the midday hours in the desert, sunscreen may be useful. Strong winds can rise here, which bring dust and sand to the coast. Fortunately, such weather disasters are extremely rare. Compared to December, the amount of precipitation in January is reduced, so this month cannot be called rainy at all. Most likely, an umbrella will be needed only in Sharjah, where 2 cloudy days are expected. Slightly less rain falls on Dubai. And the most "dry" cities are the capital and Fujairah.

What to do in the UAE in January?

There are a lot of our compatriots in this country in January. Warming the bones during the winter holidays, however, is not their main goal. In love with the East, thirsting for a radical change of "scenery", thrill seekers, true shopaholics, fans of bold innovative ideas - in general, there are a lot of subtypes of the "January tourist". And everyone in the UAE in the midst of winter is very interested.

beach holiday

The UAE is an elite holiday destination, and the beaches here are appropriate. However, in January they are not in great demand due to the fact that the water is significantly cooled. It will be warmest on the coast of the Persian Gulf: not far from the coastline, approximately +19 ° C is fixed.

In Fujairah, which has access to the Indian Ocean through the Gulf of Oman, this figure is slightly lower - an average of +18 °C. Considering that the weather is quite windy in January, we can say that not everyone will be able to dare to go into the water. Unless surfers, for whom this is the high season of skiing. On some beaches, the waves are strong enough to comfortably practice this sport. You can conquer the water element in almost all resorts of the Persian Gulf. In Dubai, this is the Wollongong beach and the Wild Wadi entertainment center (body surfing).

Entertainment and excursions

January in the UAE will be especially interesting for shopaholics, as well as for those who like to try their luck in all kinds of lotteries. And all because immediately after the New Year in Dubai, the season of crazy discounts starts, presented under the name "Dubai Shopping Festival". During this period, discounts reach 80%, and they apply not only to clothing, but also to household items and electronics. The "highlight" of this event is the drawing of very valuable prizes, among which there are elite brands of cars and gold bars (it is not without reason that the UAE is known as an "oil paradise"). For lovers of extreme sports, the country has prepared a lot of leisure options: helicopter rides, balloon flights, parachuting, swimming with sharks in the world's largest aquarium "Dubai Mall", jeep riding on sand dunes, camel racing (Thursday and Friday from 7.30 to 8, 30 Nad Al Sheba club in Dubai). One of the "must see" in Dubai - laser show "Jumana Secret of the Desert" (Tuesday - Saturday at 21.00) in the largest entertainment complex in the Middle East "Dubailand".

If you suddenly miss the snow (and this can happen), head to the winter center "Ski Dubai". Children, and certainly adults, will enjoy holidays in the country's numerous theme parks: Wonderland and Adventureland amusement parks, the fancy Wild Wadi water park with artificial waves for learning to surf, the city of professions Kidzania.

Holidays and festivals

As already mentioned, the main event of this month in the UAE is the Trade Festival.

In the northern emirate of Ras al-Khat, the grand Awafi auto show is held in January, which showcases retro cars and rare collectibles. Abu Dhabi welcomes the "Camel Festival", which is attended by about 20,000 of these animals from different Arab countries.

What are the prices for holidays in the UAE in January?

January in the UAE can not be classified as either a high or a low tourist season, as this month hosts a number of interesting events that attract the global tourism community. As a rule, accommodation in hotels will be cheaper from the second half of January. The highest prices are to be expected in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. In the middle of winter, there is a chance to catch a profitable "last minute" tour, but this is a kind of risk, since such offers are put on sale about 4-7 days before departure.

Elvira.

“We decided to celebrate the new year in Dubai. I liked everything very much. Beautiful city. Many interesting places. The weather is sunny and warm. Swimming is best in the pool, as the sea is cool. But it is difficult to resist and we still went into the sea several times. Prices are not high at this time, plus sales are in full swing. So you can relax and buy things.

Dima.

“I really like to relax in the UAE. I fly here very often and try to visit the country every weekend. In January there are more excursions than beach holidays. The weather is not particularly conducive to swimming. Although the beaches are not empty and there are many who want to sunbathe. Few people enter the sea, but there are also daredevils. In January, it is better to attend excursions and get to know the city. And here you can get on sales and buy great things at low prices.
