Questions
What is on in the UAE this month?+
Open the month page for a full list with dates and venues, or the This weekend page for what is on from Friday to Sunday. Both are built from the same calendar and show the date it was last checked.
When does the UAE events season start and end?+
The cool-season calendar runs from October to April. Seasonal attractions reopen in October, festivals peak from November to January and the season winds down in April.
How accurate are the dates?+
Each date is the organiser's own or an official tourism release's. Where only one outlet has reported it, or the moon decides, the listing says so. See how we verify.
Today is 20 October 2026 in the UAE.
