Best time to visit Saudi Arabia

Cooler season (peak season)
From November to March, daytime temperatures across much of Saudi Arabia are more moderate, often around 15–25°C (59–77°F), making city sightseeing and desert excursions more comfortable.

Transition months (shoulder season)
April, May, October, and early November can be warm to hot, with averages near 25–35°C (77–95°F), but evenings are usually milder and suitable for outdoor walks and dining.

Hot season (low season)
From June to September, temperatures in inland cities can exceed 40°C (104°F), especially in the afternoon, so many travellers plan indoor activities during the day and explore outdoors in the evening.
