01Visa basics for Indians
Most Indian passport holders need a UAE tourist visa arranged before travel, usually through the airline, a travel company or an approved visa service. Some travellers holding certain valid visas or residence permits (for example from the US, UK or EU) may qualify for a visa on arrival. Rules change, so confirm the current requirement before you book flights.
02Best time to visit
November to March is the best season — warm days and pleasant evenings, perfect for the desert. April and October are hot; June to September is extremely hot, though hotel rates are lowest and most attractions are indoors.
