Planning Your Visit

The ideal time to visit is during the cooler winter months, from November to March, which is perfect for outdoor activities like Desert Safaris and beaches. However, the UAE is a great year-round destination. During the hot summer months (May to September), you can enjoy world-class indoor attractions like SeaWorld®, IMG Worlds of Adventure, and the Louvre Abu Dhabi, which are fully air-conditioned.
Booking online is essential for popular spots. Top attractions like the Museum of the Future, Burj Khalifa, and Ferrari World often sell out days in advance. Booking with Gentoo guarantees your specific time slot, secures the best price, and provides an instant e-ticket, allowing you to skip long lines at the ticket counters.
Yes, traveling between the two cities is very easy. Abu Dhabi is approximately a 90-minute drive from Dubai. Many visitors take a taxi, bus, or book a full-day guided tour that handles all transportation, taking you to key sights like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Louvre Abu Dhabi without the hassle of navigating.
The best way to save is by purchasing Multi-Park Passes or Combo Tickets. For example, the Yas Island Choice Pass in Abu Dhabi lets you visit multiple parks (like Ferrari World and SeaWorld) over several days at a discount. In Dubai, you can find passes that bundle parks like LEGOLAND® and MOTIONGATE™ or combine landmarks like the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Aquarium.
The UAE is extremely family-friendly. Dedicated parks like LEGOLAND® Dubai, LEGOLAND® Water Park, and Warner Bros. World™ are designed specifically for kids. Additionally, "edutainment" centers like KidZania and animal attractions like The Green Planet offer safe, engaging fun for toddlers and young children.
For most theme parks and malls, casual, comfortable clothing is fine. However, strict modesty rules apply at religious and cultural sites like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Qasr Al Watan. Women must cover their hair, shoulders, and legs, and men should wear long trousers. Always check the dress code before visiting cultural landmarks.
It is not strictly necessary. Dubai has an excellent Metro and public transport system connecting major malls and landmarks. Taxis and ride-hailing apps (like Careem and Uber) are widely available and reasonably priced in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Many hotels also offer shuttle buses to major attractions and theme parks.
While outdoor activities are limited due to the heat, many "outdoor" parks have adapted. Water parks like Aquaventure and Yas Waterworld remain popular with temperature-controlled water. Additionally, evening visits to places like the Dubai Fountain or Global Village (seasonal) are comfortable. For the coolest experience, stick to the massive array of indoor attractions.
