Traveller notes on Fujairah in December

Notes from nearby Ras Al Khaimah (85 km away)

Fujairah doesn't have its own notes for December yet — these are about Ras Al Khaimah, close enough to share the season.

Regulars describe December as warm by day, chilly enough in the evening for a light sweater, and honestly point to November as the better beach month instead - low thirties without humidity there, against a sea in December that can feel notably cold for swimming. Our row backs the milder daytime read, 27.5C over 17.9C, with 16.1mm of rain across 2.2 days and the sea at 25.1C, still comfortable if not at its warmest. Regulars also warn the weather itself is unpredictable year to year - one December pleasant and sunny, the next overcast - and that wind can pick up on this coast specifically rather than only on the Dubai side. The record: humidity 61 percent, 9.5 hours of sun, a 9.5 kph wind and AQI 81.

Other months in Fujairah

Forum posters are direct that the broad May-through-October stretch, September included, isn't the ideal window for Fujairah, generally preferring late October through November when it's still warm enough to sunbathe but humidity has finally eased enough to sit outside comfortably in the evening. Posters recommend a hotel-based, air-conditioning-reliant approach for anyone visiting during the hotter months like September, and note October specifically edges out September as noticeably more pleasant if there's flexibility in travel dates. Posters do flag September/October as a strong window specifically for diving, when conditions in the water improve even before the air temperature does. Posters generally rate September as hot and genuinely challenging for a Fujairah visit outside air-conditioned spaces, with October a clearly better-regarded alternative just a few weeks later.

Forum posters describe March as warmer than February but the sea still on the cool side, with the water generally described as cold from January through April - though posters say kids can still comfortably enjoy the beach through February-March, and overall conditions are good for a family trip. Posters name the wider mid-November-to-end-March window as the best overall stretch for the UAE, with January through March also carrying the highest (if still generally low) chance of rain some years, and none at all in others. For anyone diving specifically, posters point to September-October as the better window overall, with October through May recommended for reef and rock diving.

  • Season

    Gulf of Oman dive season

    15 Oct – 15 May · usually

    Snoopy Island and the Dibba wrecks are at their clearest in the cooler half of the year; summer plankton blooms cut the visibility badly. Shore diving here needs no boat at all.

  • Holiday

    UAE National Day

    30 Nov – 3 DecNational holidayCrowdedBook early

    The 2nd and 3rd of December give the country a long weekend and the east-coast hotels fill with it. Fireworks over the corniche, and the mountain road busy in both directions. Source ↗

  • Hazard

    Winter rain and wadi floods

    1 Dec – 31 Mar · usuallyFlood seasonClosures

    This is the wettest corner of the Emirates, and a day of rain on the Hajar mountains sends water down the wadis fast enough to cut the roads. The forecasts are worth checking before driving inland. Source ↗
