The Middle East and the Red Sea by yacht
A winter region: Dubai and Abu Dhabi are warm and settled from November to April, and the Red Sea is known for reefs and diving. It suits celebrations and a few days on board.
When the Mediterranean season ends, some of its yachts come south for the winter. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are warm and settled from November to April. The Red Sea is known for its reefs and its diving. Charters here are often shorter and more about celebrations, the city from the water, or the reefs, than a classic island week.
Where to go
- United Arab Emirates. Dubai's skyline and the Palm, Abu Dhabi's islands and mangroves, and New Year on the water.
- The Red Sea (page to follow). Egypt's coral coast, Jordan's Gulf of Aqaba and Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast, for divers and for warm winter water.
When
- The UAE: November to April, with December to February the most popular. The summer is very hot.
- The Red Sea: the seasons differ from coast to coast, and the Red Sea page (to follow) will cover them.
