The best packing lists for United Arab Emirates

In the Emirates you pack against two opposites at once. Outdoors from April to October is very hot and, on the coast, humid; indoors the air conditioning runs hard enough that a light jacket or scarf genuinely earns its place in malls, taxis and restaurants.

Good to know for United Arab Emirates

November to March brings pleasant days, but desert nights and camps in the Empty Quarter cool sharply. In the Hajar mountains and the wadis near Fujairah you walk on wet rock, where shoes that can get soaked pay off.

The outlets are British, meaning the chunky three-pin plug, at 220 to 240 volts. The currency is the dirham and cards work practically everywhere. What comes out of the tap is desalination-plant water, and bottled is the norm for drinking.

Mosque visits such as Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque have clear rules: long trousers or skirts, covered shoulders, and a headscarf for women. A scarf in the day bag settles it without a detour.
