Holidays in the UAE in November 2021 - weather, prices, reviews

In my personal rating, the most depressed month in Russia is November. Leaf falls are over, Indian autumn is the same. There are still 30 days before the real winter ... mud, winds and cloudy skies. The idea of ​​a vacation looks very tempting.

And in the UAE in November, the season is in full swing - heat, sea, parties. For those who are attracted by Dubai skyscrapers and the white sand of Ras al-Khaimah, we have collected all the important information about holidays in the UAE in November 2021.

Beach holidays in the UAE - weather in November

In the Emirates, the proximity of the desert is palpable: the air is dry, hot, and motionless. In summer, over + 40 ° C. Being in such conditions for an unprepared body can be difficult and even harmful.

During the moderately hot months, in October-November, the beach holiday will be much more comfortable. The weather in the UAE in November is favorable for both sea swims and an excursion program. Once a week, you can hope for precipitation (but not a fact, the climate here is very dry, desert)!

• When else is the UAE good weather?

The daytime air temperature in the UAE in November is about + 30 ° C. Warm-oh-oh, but that's why they go! Those who want coolness can take a walk at night - on average + 25 ° C.

What is good about the sea in the UAE in November - no surprises, it is stable on all fronts: the water temperature is + 27 ° C ... + 28 ° C.

In numbers and geographical points, everything looks like this:

UAE resorts - where is the best place to relax in November?

Beautiful and clean La Mer beach (we advise you to come at least once - we were as many as 3!)

If we consider the climatic factor, then in the fall, from October, the weather in the Emirates is the same everywhere for going to the beach: the sea temperature is from + 27 ° C, and on land it is even hotter.

Resorts in the UAE at this time of year are equally bathing, sunny and crowded. Well, where it is better to relax in the UAE in November depends on the interests of tourists, plans of activities and budget.

RAS-AL-KHAYMA

Due to its remoteness from the center (1.5 hours to Dubai by car), it is cheaper here than in other emirates. This does not affect the quality of beaches and service at all, so if you want all inclusive, with 1-2 excursions to neighboring cities, it is a very worthy option. And there is also the most flexible policy in relation to the "dry law".

SHARJAH

Nice sea, cheap (in comparison) and the most famous city in the Emirates close by. This is where it is better to go if you are planning repeated excursions. It is 30 km to Dubai, but we take into account traffic jams! Alas, they are.

FUJEIRA

The only resort in the UAE on the Arabian Sea. The climate here is milder, more greenery, fewer skyscrapers. Rich underwater world. Not the place warmer in the UAE in November, the hot breath of the desert in Fujairah is not so obvious. But this is also for the best.

ABU DHABI

Our excursion trip to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi

The official capital of the UAE and the richest emirate. It is expensive to rest here, on the coast you can hardly find hotels below 4 *. But, even if you are not planning such a luxurious vacation, going on an excursion to Abu Dhabi is definitely worth it. Here, on the artificial island of Yas, many interesting sights are collected: Ferrari Park, Formula 1 track and other auto entertainments.

Dubai in November - 2021

Dubai in November is generous with sunny days. However, the heat is no longer so fierce, and the holiday is unlikely to be spoiled by December winds rocking the skyscrapers. Take a walk - I don't want to!

• What to see in Dubai?
• 7 best beaches
• Main tourist areas

In the UAE, early November is the high season. In the Russian winter, from the end of November until New Year's Eve, the crowds on the streets are thinning (who would have thought how many people are afraid to swim at + 23 ° C!), And the cost of tours is pleasantly reduced. You can save on flights and accommodation. For a month (from the end of October to the end of November), tours become 15-20% cheaper. And this is very handy, considering the prices in Dubai! A takeaway latte is about 300-400 rubles, for example.

Best hotels in UAE - top 10

In our selection of hotels in different price categories, deservedly popular with tourists.

The first trip to the UAE was to Ras al-Khaimah, there was also a tour

RAS-AL-KHAYMA

• 5 * Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah is an ideal option for a seaside holiday: a private beach with sun loungers, hammocks, towels, etc., delicious and varied food, excellent service, a soothing view from the window, comfortable beds and pillows. When really necessary, disconnect from the outside world for a while.
  Price: from 150,000 rubles (7 days for two, breakfast included)
• 5 * Hilton Al Hamra Beach & Golf Resort - a spacious beach, where there is even a Wi-Fi 🙂 In 10 minutes of walking there is a shopping center. Several swimming pools. Among the reviews, there are complaints about the food (not very varied, long service) and about the service in general (there are not enough accessories in the bathroom, poor-quality cleaning).
  Price: from 85,000 rubles (7 days for two, breakfast included)

SHARJAH

Our Centro Sarjah by Rotana (link below) is a great budget hotel

• 4 * Occidental Sharjah Grand - Guest reviews agree that the hotel has the best beach in the area. There is a free shuttle service to Dubai. Spacious balconies. The cuisine is not overwhelming, but all dishes are fresh and well prepared.
  Price: from 85,000 rubles (7 days for two, breakfast included)
• 3 * Lou Lou'a Beach Resort is a very worthy option in its price category: first line, comfortable and clean rooms, near a supermarket. Free shuttles run to Dubai and Sharjah. There is a swimming pool (in case of disturbances at sea).
  Price: from 85,000 rubles (7 days for two, breakfast included)
• 3 * Centro Sharjah by Rotana - we took the tour to this hotel ourselves and loved it: clean, modern, delicious breakfast buffet. The main disadvantage is the location near the Sharjah airport, i.e. around the "open field". Of course, there are free shuttles to the beach and Dubai.
  Price: from 65,000 rubles (7 days for two, breakfast included)

FUJEIRA

• 5 * Miramar Al Aqah Beach Resort - clear sea, private beach, many shells. Quite secluded, getting to civilization without transport is unrealistic. It makes sense to take full board (there is still nowhere else to eat). There is an evening program and animators. Cool pool, delicious food and mountain views. Frequent choice of tourists from Russia 🙂
  Price: from 80,000 rubles (7 days for two, breakfast included)
• 4 * Oceanic Khorfakkan Resort & Spa - the hotel has many "package" tourists, which, however, does not detract from its merits: its own beach, in the sea - a reef, an interesting underwater world. Across the road is the city park, where there are attractions for children and walking shady areas for everyone. There are many food outlets on the embankment, you can walk and have a snack in the evening.
  Price: from 70,000 rubles (7 days for two, breakfast included)

ABU DHABI

• 5 * The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort - first line, private beach with zoning: for families with and without children.This is equally pleasing to both parents, who can "walk" their offspring on well-equipped playgrounds, and adults who crave peace and quiet (read - the absence of guests under 18).
  Price: from 210,000 rubles (7 days for two, breakfast included)
• 4 * Le Meridien Abu Dhabi is a decent budget option for Abu Dhabi. The landscape is somewhat industrial, the beach is not very (but the first line). Rather, a place to live during a busy excursion program in the city. Tasty food.
  Price: from 85,000 rubles (7 days for two, breakfast included)

Dubai

Dubai Marina embankment and a hotel under construction, similar to the famous one in Singapore

• 5 * Jumeirah Beach Hotel - everything you can ask for from 5 stars: service, food, cleanliness. Own beach, city center, view from the window (if you're lucky) to the Sail and the sea.
  Price: from 300,000 rubles (7 days, breakfast and dinner included)
• 4 * Ramada Hotel & Suite by Wyndham - first line of the beach, sun loungers for a fee. The food is not very varied, but delicious. Location - fire: in the heart of Dubai Marina!
  Price: from 90,000 rubles (7 days for two, breakfast included)

Attractions in the UAE - what to do in November?

In addition to Abu Dhabi, we went on a safari (we went in the morning, it's cheaper, about 4-5 hours in time)

Traveling to the UAE at the end of November has a bonus: the weather is getting colder (and the prices for tours, as we already know, are lower). Comfortable temperature allows you not only to go to the beach, but also to be active in sightseeing.

What to do in the UAE in November? Mandatory shortlist:

✓ Desert Safari (Jeep) - the program usually includes the trip by car itself, communication with camels (riding and photos), dinner with Bedouins, hookah. Those who wish will get a henna tattoo. Local prices start at $ 55.

✓ Ferrari Park - for big and small car lovers. In addition to the amusement rides, the park has thematic exhibitions, installations, and car models. Admission is 295 dirham (5300 rubles) for an adult, 230 dirham (4100 rubles) for a child. But you also need to get there - that's why an excursion for $ 100 (transfer, tickets) is popular.

✓ Climbing Burj Khalifa - there are several types of tickets here. Luxury class: 124-125 and 148 floors (380 dirham or 6800 rubles). "Basic": 124-125 floors (141 dirham or 2500 rubles). At sunset, the cost of the climb increases. The cheapest tickets are obtained on GetYourGuide (a combo offer with an aquarium for 206 dirham or 3700 rubles is also available there). On the official website, they charge a service fee (5 dirhams).

On Sputnik, there is a bus and walking tour of Dubai with an ascent to the Burj Khalifa for $ 87 (5700 rubles). You need to understand that Dubai is not a pedestrian city at all, and in any case, you will need transport to explore it.

What other "very necessary" excursions in the UAE?

➢ Six emirates in one trip - or the whole country in 12 hours. From a practical point of view, a very successful trip: you can figure out where to go next time 🙂

➢ Sightseeing tour of Abu Dhabi - Ferrari Park, Date Market (you can try😊), Sheikh Al-Zayed Mosque (like from a cartoon about Aladdin), Emirates Palace Hotel (only for finishing it took 2 tons of gold), Leaning Tower (18⁰ tilt )
