Bali's dry season is April to October and the Gulf summer holiday falls inside it. Month-by-month weather, crowds, Nusa Penida sea conditions and packing.
What to know before you travel
Short guides on the best time to go, the visa, a week’s itinerary and halal food — written for travellers coming from the Gulf.
GCC passports get a 30-day visa on arrival in Bali, extendable once. The e-VoA, the All Indonesia arrival card, the tourist levy and the arrivals queue.
A week in Bali with children: one base or two, a day-by-day outline, Ubud or Nusa Penida with one day, where to sleep, and what it costs.
Bali is halal-friendly with planning. Where the halal food and the mosques are, how temples and family tables work, and which area suits a Muslim family.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha fly nonstop to Bali in about nine and a half hours. From Riyadh, Jeddah, Kuwait, Bahrain and Muscat you change planes once.
Bali is an island province of Indonesia, in Southeast Asia, between Java and Lombok. Where it is, what is where on the island, and how far it is from the Gulf.
