How to dress for the weather
In March, in the UAE, the differences between day and night temperatures are large - up to 10-12 ° C. According to reviews, it can be cool with the wind or by the sea. If you like evening promenades, walking under the stars, or going on a desert excursion, bring a fleece, trousers and a windbreaker.
Nadezhda Kotenkova: "The weather was getting more comfortable every day. This was especially felt in the evening. By the end of the rest, I could walk freely in a light blouse."
Precipitation and hurricanes
The United Arab Emirates has an arid climate, but in the first month of spring there are two to four rainy days. Precipitation is short-lived, but an umbrella can come in handy.
Oleg: "In Ajman, the weather was just brutal. All 8 days it rained, then a thunderstorm, then the sun with a wind of 10 meters per second. All the heat was blown out of the body. We were warming up in the hotel under a hot shower."
When atmospheric pressure changes, heavy fogs appear on the coast. This does not complicate the beach vacation in any way, but brings a lot of inconvenience to motorists.
According to tourists, in some years the March weather brings unpleasant surprises in the form of sandstorms. Natural disasters last from one to several days, and they try to wait out at home. During a sandstorm, excursions and walks will have to be canceled, but you can have a good time in large shopping and entertainment centers and indoor attractions.

Anna: "We rested in Sharjah in March with two children of three and five years old. The children arrived with a cold, but two days later the cold disappeared like a hand. Warm sea air and walking barefoot on the snow-white sand helped. The sea was cool for swimming, but my feet got wet." ...
