February is still perfect beach and desert weather. In 2027, Ramadan is expected to begin around 8 February — dress more conservatively in public and expect daytime restaurant closures and festive iftar evenings. Pack modest layers.

☀️ By day

Light layers in breathable cotton, sandals and sunglasses.

🌙 Evening

Cardigan for outdoor terrace dinners.

What's on in February

Typical dates. Many festivals follow lunar calendars, so check this year's dates before you book.

Ramadan (2027: about 8 Feb – 9 Mar)

Moves about 11 days earlier each year

Locals fast from dawn to sunset. Dress more conservatively in public, with shoulders and knees covered, and avoid eating or drinking openly in daylight. Iftar tents and suhoor evenings are smart-modest: a kaftan or long dress, or a shirt and trousers.

Dress code

  • In malls, souks and public places, keep shoulders and knees covered; avoid sheer, very short or low-cut clothes.
  • Mosques (e.g. Sheikh Zayed in Abu Dhabi, Jumeirah Mosque): long sleeves, ankle-length trousers or skirt, and a headscarf for women. Abayas are sometimes provided.
  • Swimwear is fine at hotel pools and beaches only — cover up when leaving the beach.
