ComfortableToo hot
The sea is warm year-round; in high summer it is too warm to cool you down, and humidity, not water, is what ends the day. The Jebel Jais massif is the highest ground in the country and runs several degrees cooler than the coast below it; it can be worth a jacket when Ras Al Khaimah city is warm.
