What to expect
Daytime
Hot days in UAE. Ruins, markets and hills are a morning job. Midday sightseeing is how people remember April for the wrong reason.
Nights stay warm. Air-con, if you can get it, is part of the brief. A jumper for April in UAE is almost always a waste of bag space.
Rain
Rain is not the story in UAE in April. Pack for sun. A shower would be news, not a plan.
Do not build the trip around weather windows. Build it around shade if it is hot, and around getting outside if it is not.
Evening
Evenings stay warm.
What to pack
Sun protection
A layer for cooler evenings
