Emiratis embrace cooler autumn with outdoor gatherings and desert trips
The milder weather prompts families and friends to gather outdoors, camp in the desert and enjoy evening drives across the UAE.
By Felo News Desk · Published
The Gulf News reports that as autumn arrives in the United Arab Emirates, Emiratis are shifting back to outdoor activities such as family gatherings, desert camping, evening drives and late‑night karak runs.
What happened
With evenings becoming more comfortable, people are moving coffee outings to outdoor cafés, extending drives that turn into hours‑long outings, and organizing spontaneous desert trips that can last from a few hours to an entire weekend.
What the reports add
Gulf News notes that the cooler weather also revives traditional BBQs, where friends share grilling duties, and that karak tea, a year‑round favourite, is especially popular for late‑night outings during this season.
What was said
The article does not contain direct quotations; it describes the general sentiment that "once the weather is comfortable, there is simply less reason to rush home" and that "the desert becomes less of an occasional escape and more of a regular weekend plan" as observed by Gulf News.
How it came about
Earlier this month Felo News reported that the UAE recorded its lowest autumn temperature of 18.6 °C in Al Ain (UAE records 18.6 °C as autumn temperatures fall) and that the season officially began on 23 September (Autumn Begins in UAE on September 23). Those cooler conditions set the stage for the outdoor activities described.
