💡 Travel Tips
💰 Visit during summer months (May-September) for 30-50% discounts on hotel rates, and use public buses and the metro system instead of taxis to save significantly on transportation costs.
📅 October to April offers the most pleasant weather with temperatures between 20-30°C, ideal for outdoor exploration and desert adventures. Avoid May to September when temperatures soar above 40°C, making sightseeing uncomfortable despite excellent hotel deals during this off-season.
🛂 Indian passport holders can obtain a 30-day tourist visa on arrival at Abu Dhabi airport or apply for an e-visa online through the official UAE portal, both requiring a valid passport with 6+ months validity and proof of accommodation.
