The Women's Travel Club recommends travelers to be fully vaccinated against COVID. Some countries will require COVID vaccination to enter, it is the traveler's resposibility to insure they meet all requirements.

Weather

February is an excellent month to visit the United Arab Emirates. The average daily maximum is 26°C and the average daily minimum is 15°C.

Currency

The local currency is the UAE dirham (AED or Dhs), which is divided into 100 fils and is pegged against the US $ (US $ 1: AED 3.6725).

Most banks operate ATMs, which accept a range of cards. Most ATMs, although linked to a specific bank, are part of a central network, so you can transact with a bank card for a nominal charge. Common systems accepted around Abu Dhabi include American Express, Cirrus, Global Access, MasterCard, Plus System and VISA. ATMs can be found in all shopping malls, major supermarkets, most petrol stations and the airport.

Credit and debit cards are widely accepted. Foreign currencies can be exchanged in licensed exchange offices, banks and hotels, and a passport is required. If you're shopping in the souks (markets) or in smaller shops, cash is the best option.

Electric Outlets

In United Arab Emirates (UAE) the associated plug type is type G. Type G plugs have three rectangular pins in a triangular pattern. UAE operates on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz.
 
A universal all-in-one travel adapter (can be purchased from retailers like Amazon) will allow you to plug in and charge most electronic devices. Most electronic devices have built-in converters. However, if you plan to use North American appliances like hair dryers, flat irons or curling irons you will need a converter.
