UAE Tours & Trips 2026
Abu Dhabi's Yas Island hosts attractions that will impress you no end. Check out Dubai Creek , that shows how this wild city began as a small fishing village before oil changed everything. Emirati culture exists beneath all that modern gloss. Dubai builds higher and stranger than anywhere else even attempts. The UAE embraces excess without apology, and it works somehow.

Best time to visit United Arab Emirates
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter brings the perfect weather for UAE exploration, with temperatures settling around a comfortable 24°C from December through March. Our 9-day family tours really come into their own during these months - you'll get to see the Dubai Miracle Garden when it's absolutely spectacular, with more than 150 million flowers creating incredible living art displays. The desert safaris feel just right in winter; our customers often tell us they love how the cool evening air adds something special to the warm welcomes at traditional Bedouin camps. The season brings unique experiences like the Global Village, where you can wander through 75 different country pavilions and try authentic foods from across the world. City tours work particularly well in the cooler months - you can take your time walking the spice souks, capture great photos at the Sheikh Zayed Mosque and also explore the traditional fish markets without dealing with intense heat.

- Spring 2026
Spring tours in the UAE blend cultural experiences with ideal weather conditions in packages that typically run 7-8 days, taking you through Dubai, Abu Dhabi and also Al Ain. The morning activities are timed perfectly when temperatures are most comfortable, and our travelers consistently tell us how much they enjoy exploring the desert during this mild season. Cultural visits become more engaging too - the extended time at Sheikh Zayed Mosque and traditional areas near Dubai Creek lets our guides share rich stories about pearl diving heritage. Dubai Miracle Garden is a special highlight in spring, with its 150 million flowers creating spectacular displays, while desert safaris take on extra charm as you drive across golden dunes before settling in for evening BBQs under clear desert skies. The pleasant temperatures make it perfect for traditional entertainment and music outdoors, and based on what our customers say, combining both indoor attractions like Burj Khalifa with outdoor experiences such as Spice Souk walks makes the most sense during these months.

- Summer 2026
During UAE summers, our tours adapt cleverly to the heat while still delivering authentic experiences. The most effective packages span 6-7 days, combining early morning city walks with afternoon visits to indoor cultural sites. Our guests consistently tell us how much they appreciate spending time in Dubai Mall's cool spaces, especially the aquarium and underwater zoo when the heat peaks outside. The evening activities shine brightest in summer - you'll catch refreshing breezes on Marina dhow cruises with traditional shows, and join perfectly-timed desert safaris ending with BBQs beneath glittering desert stars. Travelers particularly value how these tours mix guided segments with free exploration time, letting them set their own pace through air-conditioned landmarks like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Louvre Abu Dhabi and other cultural spots. While daytime temperatures climb to 108°F (42°C), our guides plan everything strategically - you'll explore outdoor areas like spice souks and the Dubai Frame during cooler morning hours, then move to indoor cultural sites. The 4x4 desert excursions remain a highlight even in summer, scheduled thoughtfully for later hours when temperatures drop and the dunes take on rich golden colors in the fading light.

Based on what travelers tell us, several Dubai tour companies stand out but each has its distinct qualities and occasional weak spots. Wingbuddy gets a lot of positive feedback for putting together solid day-to-day plans, and their guide Nabil in particular seems to leave a lasting impression on groups. Though some folks mentioned that not all the promised activities made it into their final tour. Gray Line UAE brings good expertise to the table with guides who know how to mix facts with fun, especially during city tours. Their Abu Dhabi day trips could use a bit more breathing room though - our travelers say the pace feels a bit rushed at times. Luxury Holidays Nepal (despite the name) runs a pretty comprehensive Dubai package. Their "Best of Dubai Tour" covers quite a range of experiences and their desert safari component tends to be a highlight. The company seems to handle the logistics well, keeping everything moving smoothly from start to finish. It's worth noting that some TourRadar customers ran into issues with certain operators - we've heard about last-minute schedule changes, some confusion with hotel bookings and activities that didn't quite match what was advertised. While these weren't common problems, it's good to double-check the details when booking and maybe have a quick chat with recent travelers who've done the tour you're considering.

Where can you find natural attractions outside the big cities?
The impressive Jebel Hafeet mountain rises near Al Ain and you can easily drive there for some incredible panoramic views. Over in the eastern UAE the Hajar Mountains are perfect for hiking and trekking you can join an organized tour or drive yourself there as many visitors on the Explore the UAE Self Drive Tour do. If you're into wildlife the coastal mangrove parks are fantastic spots for kayaking and spotting local animals.
What are some less touristy but culturally significant places to visit?
Sharjah's actually UNESCO's Cultural Capital of the Arab World and it's way less crowded than Dubai with tons of museums and heritage sites to explore. The UAE Essentials tour really highlights this gem. Al Ain's another fantastic spot with its ancient forts UNESCO sites and bustling camel market it gives you a real taste of traditional UAE life. If you're up for going off the beaten path head to Fujairah its rugged mountains and historic spots like the 15th-century Al Bidyah Mosque are definitely worth exploring especially if you're doing the self-drive tour.
What local foods should you try and where can you find them?
You've got to try Mandi it's this amazing slow-cooked meat and rice dish with incredible spices originally from Yemen you'll find it in local restaurants all over the UAE the UAE Essentials tour often recommends it. For real traditional Emirati food you might need to venture beyond the tourist spots but it's worth it look for dishes like Machboos which is spiced meat with rice or sweet Luqaimat dumplings the Magical Dubai tour guides know all the best spots.
