The 80-degree weather is heavenly, with the Arabian winter still permitting swimming and sunbathing. Unfortunately, this is peak conference time. The city is crowded, it’s next to impossible to find a room, and if you do, you’ll pay rack rates.
Off Season: June to August
If you don’t mind living in an enormous sauna, this is the time to visit. The heat is ferocious (upwards of 100-degrees) and humidity high. In response, hotels drop their prices up to 50% and malls offer bargain sales.
Sweet Spot: March to May; September to November
This is the best time to visit – spring and fall temperatures average in the 90s and the skies are a perfect blue. You won’t pay rack rates but don’t expect too many bargains either.
