Best time to travel to Saudi Arabia

The perfect time to visit Saudi Arabia is between early February to early April and late October to early December.

Generally, expect warm temperatures throughout the year in Saudi Arabia. The summers are long, sweltering, and dry. The winters are cooler but equally dry, and the sky is mostly clear all year round. July and August are the cloudiest months but expect to wear sunglasses regardless.

Make sure to dress accordingly for the humid and often inhospitable temperatures. Stay hydrated, get plenty of shade, and consider avoiding the period between April and October, where peak temperatures range from 91°F to 109°F, if the heat isn't for you. Rainfall is minimal, too, with only a 5 percent chance of showers in March.
