  • sandals, light runners, sun hat, sunglasses

    sunscreen and a lot of it

    bright sun every day-lots of glare

    yes, you can camp with your own tent or you can go on a "safari"with a group and the tour company will put you up in a bedouin tent .
    there are only a couple of beaches left that are free. women get stared at alot here,no doubt about it. you can wear a bikini but be prepared for drooling men around you. option2 is to go to a hotel where there are mostly tourists- there will be a charge though to get in unless you are staying at that hotel.

    this is a moslem country so as a visitor please be respectful of the local people's culture and dress appropriately. for women -cover your upper arms at least, loose clothing, not revealing or form-fitting while shopping or sightseeing. no shorts or tank tops. this goes for men too. (at your hotel swimming pool or at the beach it's ok, though).

    Handkerchief or some cloth

  • If you are in Abu Dhabi during summer or season transition, keep a handkerchief handy. Strong winds blowing sand would be quite common and sandstorm is a nightmare. Having a handkerchief or cloth at least helps you to filter out the sand from entering your nose or mouth.

  • Pack light and do all of your laundry and dry cleaning at Black & White, 02-44-66-010. Did two weeks of stinking clothes and paid less than $75. At any of my hotels, would have been well over $200.

    Skin Moisturizer

  • Was here for about 3 weeks since late January. The humidity at this time is very low sometimes as low as below 40%. My skin became quite dry and was beginning to crack. Good idea to have a skin moisturizer to keep the skin moist and healthy. Otherwise, your body will feel uncomfortable and itchy all the time.

    Jacket

  • Be sure to bring along a jacket and some warm clothing if you are visiting around Jan/Feb. Weather is quite cool - day time temp >20degC with the night temp coming down to 16degC. Wouldn't feel that cold except that the wind is really strong and chilling. Bring along a cap too... coz it's quite sunny in the day time.

    Some lip balm or moisturizer would be good. Weather is really dry here.
