WHEN TO GO

Plan around the season.

Plan outdoor exploring for the cooler months. Summer suits shorter outdoor stops with indoor breaks; conditions differ between the coast, desert and mountains.

AT YOUR OWN PACE

A journey idea.

Pair Dubai and Abu Dhabi for a city break, or add the east coast as a separate driving leg. Keep space between long drives and outdoor activities.

Planning inspiration. Check current transport and access before booking.
