The weather in May is quite hot, but the water in the Persian Gulf is already warming up for swimming by this time. This is the perfect time for a boat trip with the opportunity to bath in the open waters of the bay. It is strongly recommended to choose carefully a renting yacht with an experienced captain and sailors to make your cruise comfortable and as safe as possible.

During the Ramadan period, night fairs open throughout the city, where you can find wonderful souvenirs and decorations. The beautifully decorated shopping centers work until late evening and arrange thematic programs and performances for their visitors.
