Winter (November-February)
Most comfortable temperatures between 15-25°C. Peak tourist season. Best time for desert excursions and outdoor activities. Riyadh Season events run during this period.
Spring (March-April)
Warming temperatures but still pleasant. Good for visiting AlUla and exploring historic sites. Ramadan dates vary, so check the Islamic calendar before booking.
Autumn (September-October)
Temperatures cooling from summer highs. Fewer tourists than winter. Good value on hotels. Formula One in Jeddah typically falls in early autumn.
