What to pack for your vacation in Abu Dhabi – Prepare for your desert adventure

How to pack to handle the climate in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is well known for being a destination that is home to scorching summers, particularly because it is essentially in the middle of the desert. However, one of the things that people do not realize is that it can also get quite cold towards the winter months.
If you are going to be spending a long time in this destination, be sure to pack to bring along some thicker materials as well.

What to wear when exploring Abu Dhabi

If you are visiting Abu Dhabi for the first time, this guide will help you to avoid any faux pas wherever possible. For example, if you are going to be spending time sightseeing in Abu Dhabi or staying at a location such as Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort, these would essentially be considered public places.
Therefore, it is recommended that you ensure that you should have your knees and shoulders covered. This expectation applies to both men and women, so avoid wearing sleeveless attire or overly short shorts.
When it comes to visiting religious or government buildings, be sure to ensure that all skin is covered. This will also be applicable if you are entering a mosque, but keep in mind that there may be more requirements such as wearing a Shayla so be sure to consult your hotel or the attendants at these locations before making your visit.

Essentials to pack

For women, it is important to bring along some breathable items such as cotton shirts. If you are going to the beach, you can bring along a beachwear of your preference, however, be sure to review in detail what may be out of bounds before visiting.
Be sure to also bring a range of footwear that you can wear to ensure that you are comfortable at all times. There is a high chance that you will be spending a good amount of your stay walking due to the sheer scale of seemingly ordinary amenities such as malls.

You may even need to bring along a voltage converter and a power board!

Things to not forget!

There are a few items you should never travel without! These include your passports, which will be vital during your time in Abu Dhabi. Additionally, ensure that your visa is with you in a safe location, and bring copies of these documents when you are leaving your hotel or accommodation.
