Dubai or Abu Dhabi: which is more comfortable?

Abu Dhabi is the better choice if daytime heat is your main concern: its average high is 38°C, compared with Dubai's 41°C. That difference may help, but it does not make Abu Dhabi cool enough for carefree afternoons outdoors. Dubai has the slightly cooler nights, averaging 26°C against Abu Dhabi's 28°C, so the daytime advantage reverses after dark. Both have sea temperatures of 32°C and average 0 rainy days, leaving little to separate them for swimming or dry weather. Choose Abu Dhabi for less extreme daytime temperatures, rather than expecting a substantially different kind of June holiday.

Plan around the heat, not the rain

With average sunshine of 12.7 hours and daytime heat around 40°C, June calls for a deliberately slow outdoor schedule. Keep walks and time by the water for earlier or later in the day, and make air-conditioned breaks part of the plan rather than a fallback. Evenings are more manageable than midday, but average nights of 27°C mean you should not expect a cool finish to the day. Pack loose, lightweight clothing, a sun hat and sunscreen, and keep drinking water handy. June is less suitable if your ideal holiday involves prolonged walking or spending most of the afternoon outside.
