The UAE has a subtropical climate, so it’s usually pretty sunny. Rain is quite rare and usually falls between November and April. At this time of year, temperatures hover around the mid-20s, making it the best time to go. You'll find it's a popular destination year-round, even in the summer when the mercury reaches into the mid-40s.
As a British citizen, to enter the UAE, your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. You'll be given a visa valid for up to 90 days over a 180-day period.
