Sweet spot: January, February, March. Computed from NASA POWER climate normals across the route's overnight towns, balancing temperature, rainfall and daylight.

💡 Good to know

The brief outdoor season: Souq Waqif's evening crowds, mangrove kayaking at Al Khor, and the fort at Al Zubarah under mild desert light — book Inland Sea dune trips now.
45°C and world-class humidity drive life entirely indoors — the museums are magnificent and air-conditioned for a reason.
