The best time to go to As Sulayyil is during the cooler months, from October to March, when the desert climate is most pleasant for exploration.
During this period, daytime temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 20°C to 30°C, making it comfortable for outdoor activities like visiting the nearby historical sites or exploring the desert landscapes. The evenings are cool, often dropping to around 10°C, so a light jacket or jumper is advisable. This season avoids the intense heat of the summer months, which can reach over 45°C.
Couples looking for a peaceful getaway will appreciate this time of year. The calmer weather allows for romantic desert excursions, such as stargazing, without the discomfort of extreme heat. It's also ideal for photography, capturing the natural beauty of the region in more comfortable conditions.
For solo travellers interested in history and culture, visiting between October and March offers the best opportunity to comfortably explore As Sulayyil's ancient wells and traditional architecture.
