TL;DR

The best time to visit the UAE is late October or early April — the sea is pleasantly warm, there's none of the summer heat and humidity, and all attractions/activities are fully open.

What the community said

In summer the UAE has high humidity and stifling heat, which makes the trip feel very different — it's harder to be outdoors and enjoy the sights.

Summer: high humidity

The ideal travel windows are late October or early April — sea temperature is comfortable, there's no summer humidity, and all tourist attractions in the country are operating.
