Corniche in May

October through April is perfect – temperatures hover around 25-30°C, and the humidity stays bearable. January and February are peak season when you'll actually want to sunbathe on the free beaches. Avoid May through September unless you enjoy feeling like you're walking through a hair dryer. Weekends get packed with local families, especially Friday afternoons when the whole city seems to migrate here for picnics. Early morning (6-8am) and late afternoon (5-7pm) offer the best light for photos and comfortable walking temperatures. Ramadan changes the vibe completely – it's quieter during the day but comes alive after sunset with families breaking fast along the waterfront.
