United Arab Emirates Winter Sun Holidays

When summer seems like a distant memory and the days become short and gloomy, it’s time to escape to sunnier climes. And somewhere where the sun is always shining is the United Arab Emirates. From Dubai to Abu Dhabi and beyond, this desert country has it all - pale blonde beaches that seem to stretch on forever, ancient forts steeped in history and plenty of shopping opportunities. The warmth of the Middle East hits between 19°C - 21°C during the 'brisk' winter days, perfect weather for an indulgent ice cream and a stroll along the beach during your United Arab Emirates winter sun holiday. On a trip to Dubai, indulge your inner beach bum as you soak up the sun on the pristine beaches of Jumeirah or the golden sands of Jebel Ali Beach, which is a whopping six miles long, and make the most of the inviting sea temperatures (a balmy 21°C - 23°C) with snorkelling trips and water sports - everything from water skiing and jet skiing to paddleboarding and flyboarding. And while in Dubai, don’t miss the chance to visit one of its many artificial islands complete with golden beaches, swaying palm trees and some seriously swanky hotels where you can relax in style and soak in the views over the glittering Dubai skyline.
