      A:

      In terms of climate, the best time to visit Emirates Palace is between November and March. The weather is actually quite pleasant and offers warm, sunny days and cool evenings. However, late fall to early spring also serves as Abu Dhabi’s peak season; so, you can certainly expect to experience additional crowding at the top Abu Dhabi attractions, including Emirates Palace. Understandably, summer is a rather unpopular time to visit Emirates Palace. The heat is so overbearing that even the emirs themselves can’t stand it. Nevertheless, if you decide to book an Abu Dhabi vacation for the summer, you can definitely find great deals on lodging and even airfare. However, you might end up confining yourself only to places that offer air-conditioning; and, with good reason. One benefit of taking an Emirates Palace vacation during the summer is that you’ll experience far less crowding at the pool or while using other hotel amenities. But, arriving in the capital during the winter is still one of the most advisable things to do in Abu Dhabi!
