UAE

Where can you relax at sea in March 2020? The non-obvious answer is the United Arab Emirates. Very often, tourists go there for new acquisitions, although a beach holiday in the UAE in March is possible: the sea is already warming up to +22...+23°C and is quite suitable for swimming. The beginning of spring is characterized by comfortable air temperatures and unexpected surprises of nature in the form of sandstorms and thick fogs, which, fortunately, does not happen very often. Warm during the day: in Dubai and Sharjah +27°C, in Abu Dhabi +29°C. At night the air temperature drops to +18...+21°C, so it’s worth taking windbreakers with you.

The coastal waters of Fujairah are famous among divers for their rich underwater world, and crab hunters go to Umm al-Quwain. Abu Dhabi is known for its architectural masterpieces, shopping centers and entertainment complexes, for children, dolphinariums and aquariums. Traditional camel rides and desert jeep safaris are also popular.

In March, the beach season begins in Jordan, but it is comfortable to swim only during the day; in the evenings it is a little uncomfortable due to the winds. March is dry and warm like spring: in the capital during the day +20°C, at night +6...+11°C, in Jerash and Petra it is colder. In Aqaba during the day +23...+26°С, water in the Red Sea +22°С. The water temperature in the Dead Sea is a couple of degrees higher, and there are many spa centers with a wide range of services.

Jordan is a very original country. There is practically no nightlife in the capital; all clubs are located in large hotels. Tourists can go water skiing and catamarans, diving, windsurfing, hang gliding, hiking and mountaineering. Jeep and camel rides, air sports and excursions are popular: the city of Petra, the Roman ruins of Jerash and the settlement of Pella in the Jordan Valley, the Arab castle of Ajloun and the Crusader castle of Kerak. It is worth remembering that daylight hours are still short in March, so all trips need to be planned in advance.

Despite the fact that it is already the beginning of spring, in the vastness of Russia it can be difficult to see this change of seasons; there are still snowdrifts and cold winds everywhere. Therefore, many vacationers choose March to leave winter as early as possible, spend their vacation at sea, and arrive in real spring, when drops and streams are everywhere.

After the vacation, you greet your summer at home with high summer spirits and a bronze tan and extend your vacation at home 🙂 And I will tell you in more detail about what advantages and disadvantages a spring vacation at sea may have.

You can relax in March starting from RUB 23,516 per person :) (pick up and buy a tour right now via the link in just 5-10 minutes, including in installments, rest first, then pay! 😉)

  • After the long winter months, our body desperately needs vitamins, which can be fully replenished at beach resorts in March. In addition, March in Russia is the season for colds, and a spring vacation at sea will just allow the body to get stronger before returning to its homeland.
  • In spring, beach tours are quite cheap (only from RUB 23,516 per person) compared to the high summer season. So there is an opportunity to have a good rest at sea and save a lot.
  • It is not yet very hot at the seaside resorts, the air and water temperatures are very comfortable, the weather allows you to sunbathe and swim, as well as attend numerous excursions.
  • A sharp change in climate may not strengthen the body, but rather undermine health and aggravate chronic diseases. So be careful and allow a couple of days for acclimatization.
  • Also, a sudden change in diet can have an adverse effect on the digestive system. So take action here too, don’t lean on the local cuisine right away. At least give your body a couple of days to adapt.
  • There is a high risk of contracting spring depression, especially when from a heavenly place you again plunge into routine, gray reality. According to statistics, 2/3 of the population suffers from this melancholy. Therefore, enjoy every moment of your vacation, gain impressions for the whole year.

Bright sun, cloudless sky, in general, hot weather is guaranteed in Goa in March, both in the north and south of the state. So choose a resort based on your desires: if you want to have a good time on vacation, then take a closer look at northern Goa, and if you want to spend time in a quiet, measured atmosphere, then south Goa.

Where to go and what to visit in March?

Do you need a visa for Goa?

Russian citizens need a visa to travel to Goa, but it is easy to obtain. A visa can be applied for either online or at the Indian Embassy in Moscow, at the consulates in St. Petersburg or Vladivostok. A visa issued online is valid for 30 days.

However, the closer the end of the month is, the higher the humidity becomes, and the air becomes hotter, which means that the main flow of tourists leaves home and prices become lower.

Tourists are less willing to choose Vietnam for their holidays in March, at least in the north of the country. But even if not for a flight, the prices for local goods and products will still pleasantly surprise you.

Weather in Vietnam in March

At the beginning of spring, in the first half of March, dry heat remains in the southern resorts; tourists prefer to choose Ho Chi Minh City, Dalat, where it is warmest - +34°C.

The following resorts are also in demand: Mui Ne, Con Dao and Phu Quoc. Here, humidity is tolerated more easily due to the air temperature being reduced by five degrees.

At the same time, strong gusts of wind and heavy rainfall are possible in the north of the country. So choose a beach holiday at the end of March in the south of Vietnam.

Where is the best place to go in March? First of all, you need to decide on the type of vacation that you will like. Do you just want to relax and sunbathe on the beach, or do you prefer surfing full of drive and adrenaline? The budget allocated for vacation also imposes its own adjustments.

Where to go in March without a visa

You won’t be able to go somewhere far without a passport, so it’s better to take care of obtaining this document in advance. But the list of visa-free countries is quite wide and there is plenty to choose from:

You can stay in these countries for up to 30 days without a visa.

Also included in this list of warm and visa-free countries:

  • (up to 15 days)
  • (90 days)
  • (180 days)

And in the morning the sea is so quiet

Remember this children's poem? Indeed, the morning sea is somehow special, when the air is still filled with coolness, and the beaches are deserted, “the song of the surf is barely audible.” These sounds and sensations are worth waking up early for.

March is a good month to go on vacation. When winter is still in full swing in Russia, you can fly a few hours, plunge into real summer, recharge with vitamin D and enjoy an abundance of fruits. In addition, the high tourist season has not yet begun, and in March you can relax without unnecessary fuss and crowds. The decrease in interest in travel forces tour operators to reduce prices, and you can purchase a package tour on fairly favorable terms (the difference between January and March tours can be up to 30%).

For a beach holiday in March, most people turn their attention to Asia.

Another popular destination is Thailand. The weather is pleasant with sunny days, but it rarely rains this month. The water temperature off the coast warms up to 27°C. Many people do not like Thailand because of the stifling heat, which is poorly tolerated by our compatriots due to the high humidity. So in March the air is moderately dry and easy to breathe.

Prices for both the tour packages themselves and tourist goods (souvenirs, excursions, etc.) decrease in March, and even a family with an average income can afford to fly to Thailand for a couple of weeks. So, for mid-March you can find seven-day tours for two to the island of Phuket starting from 85,000 rubles.

Türkiye is a favorite destination for budget tourists. But if you plan to go swimming, then go here no earlier than the end of March.

Tourists who come to Turkey on holiday in March note low prices. You can purchase a ticket to a luxury hotel, combine walks and excursions with relaxation in spa salons.
