I know there are the obvious festival times in June but I may be considering Feb 08. this tour i'm thinking about will include a workshop with a known name with 15-20 participants plus river cruisers, watching dancers, shopping and a side trip to Dubai. I'm very tempted.

The nice thing about going in February is that the temperature will be MUCH more comfortable than going in the summer!!! MUCH!!!!
Speaking more generally:
- Winter is more comfortable than summer because it's not so brutally hot.
- Don't go *during* Ramadan because dancing pretty much shuts down then.
- Arriving a day or two after Ramadan ends can be good because there's likely to be some good dancing worth seeing then for the post-Ramadan celebrations.
