According to monitoring data, the most favorable time to book is July, when ticket prices start AED 489. The peak period with the highest prices falls in February, with flights starting AED 928.

We recommend visiting in September or October: during this time, the heat subsides, rainfall decreases, and flight prices remain stable. It is best to avoid July due to extreme rainfall, which can complicate travel logistics.
