FOUR QUICK ABU DHABI FAQS
A guide to some of the most commonly asked questions
What’s the weather like?
Due to its sub-tropical, arid climate, Abu Dhabi has almost year-round sunshine, very little rain and is wonderfully warm in winter. Temperatures range between winter night lows of 50F to summer day highs of 118F.
What should I wear?
People are generally free to dress as they would at home. It is a good idea to be respectful of local culture and to refrain from wearing overly revealing clothing and to dress more conservatively when visiting mosques and during Ramadan.
How safe is it?
The UAE is considered one of the safest countries in the world, with extremely low crime rates. However, appropriate alertness and safety measures should be taken as you would anywhere else in the world.
How easy is it to drive?
Cars drive on the right. Expats need either a residence visa so they can obtain a UAE license, or an International Driving License to drive.
