April-May and September-October offer the best weather with temperatures around 18-24°C (64-75°F) and minimal rainfall. These shoulder seasons avoid summer crowds and heat.
Summer (June-August): Hot with temperatures reaching 25-30°C (77-86°F), crowded with tourists, but ideal for beach activities and water sports. Lower accommodation rates in June and September.
Winter (November-March): Mild temperatures 10-18°C (50-64°F) with occasional rain. December-January can be damp and cloudy, but fewer tourists and lower prices. Excellent for sightseeing without heat.
Avoid Ramadan if you prefer normal dining times, as many restaurants close during fasting hours, though the month offers unique cultural experiences.
