Recurring seasonal events, natural spectacles, closures and holidays — curated and sourced.
- Holiday
Ramadan
25 Jan – 25 Mar · usuallyClosuresEating or drinking in public in daylight is not done, and most of the beach hotels screen off one restaurant for guests. The coast road is fast and empty in the hour before iftar, then dangerous. Source ↗
- Season
Gulf of Oman dive season
15 Oct – 15 May · usuallySnoopy 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.
- Hazard
Winter rain and wadi floods
1 Dec – 31 Mar · usuallyFlood seasonClosuresThis 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 ↗
