Planning a Gulf trip? The timing question isn't as simple as "winter good, summer bad."
The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait all share roughly the same comfortable window, November through March. But Oman flips the whole script. Salalah's Khareef season makes southern Oman its most beautiful exactly when the rest of the Gulf is at its hottest, late June through early September.
Planning a multi-country trip? Get this timing wrong and you could land in the wrong part of the Gulf at exactly the wrong time.
