Location & Climate

In AlUla, UV rises from 4 in January to 11 in June, with peak tanning months being June, July, August. Expect the strongest sun between late spring and early fall.

Extreme UV and heat make midday tanning dangerous. Schedule sessions for early morning (before 10 AM) or late afternoon (after 4 PM) and always carry water.

Beach and coastal destinations benefit from cooling sea breezes, but UV reflected from water and sand can increase your total exposure by up to 25%. Apply sunscreen more frequently and protect your eyes.

During the peak tanning season, use SPF 30-50 depending on the time of day. In winter months, SPF 15-30 is usually sufficient for daily protection.
