Weather
Late November is one of the most comfortable windows in Abu Dhabi: warm, sunny days and mild evenings, with rain rare. Expect strong air-conditioning in the hotel's meeting rooms, so a light layer is useful during long sessions. Conditions are climatological norms rather than a forecast - check a seven-day forecast in the week before you fly.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Hotel Wi-Fi at the Novotel properties is free and adequate for email and video conferencing. UAE mobile networks are fast, but roaming charges from your home carrier can be high, so a local tourist SIM from du or e& (Etisalat) bought at Zayed International (AUH) is usually cheaper for a short stay. Some voice and video calling features in third-party apps are restricted on UAE networks, so confirm with your carrier or use hotel Wi-Fi for calls home.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business dress at a clinical meeting
Smart business or smart-casual dress is standard for the PCOS scientific sessions. Modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees is the safer choice in public buildings, malls and government offices.
Working week and meeting timing
The UAE working week runs Monday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday as the weekend. Friday midday prayers affect some business schedules, so avoid booking external meetings around lunchtime on Fridays.
Hospitality and tipping
Tipping is not mandatory but 10 percent in restaurants and small amounts for hotel staff are customary. Alcohol is served only in licensed hotel restaurants and bars, not in public spaces.
Driving and venue access
Novotel Abu Dhabi Al Bustan offers complimentary valet and indoor parking for guests, which makes a hire car feasible if you plan to visit other emirates around the conference.

Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: AUH
Book into Zayed International (AUH), the closest gateway to the Al Bustan conference district. Sample round-trip economy fares captured for 23-27 November 2026 ranged from about AED 1,457 from Dubai (DXB) and AED 2,091 from London (LHR) up to AED 2,630 from New York (JFK), AED 3,768 from Tokyo (NRT) and AED 5,073 from Sydney (SYD). Etihad operates nonstop services on several of these routes, while other carriers sell one-stop itineraries through Gulf and European hubs. Fares move quickly in the six weeks before a November conference, so book once your registration tier is confirmed, and check whether your carrier's ticket allows a stopover in Abu Dhabi if you plan to add a day either side.
Visa
Nationals of many countries receive visas on arrival, while others must arrange a visit visa via a UAE airline, hotel or licensed agency before travel.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
The GDRFA also offers a visit visa for exploring business opportunities without a UAE sponsor or host; check your nationality's status on the official portal before booking.
OfficialTransport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Zayed International (AUH). Allow road or rail time to Novotel Abu Dhabi; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Novotel Abu Dhabi: Al Bustan, Abu Dhabi: Novotel Abu Dhabi Al Bustan; Abu Dhabi, Gate district: Novotel Abu Dhabi Gate; ADNEC district, Abu Dhabi: Aloft Abu Dhabi.
Ride-hail: App-based ride-hailing is well established in Abu Dhabi, with Careem and Uber the usual choices. Fares are quoted in the app and paid by card, which removes the need for cash on arrival at Zayed International (AUH). Expect surge pricing during early-morning arrival banks and around major events at ADNEC; compare the app quote with the official airport taxi rank before you commit. Ride-hail is the most convenient way to reach the Al Bustan conference district from hotels that are not on a direct bus route.
Public transit: Abu Dhabi does not have a metro, so public transport means the Abu Dhabi Mobility bus network, which covers the city, the Airport Road corridor and intercity links. Fares are paid with a Hafilat stored-value card rather than cash, and cards can be bought and topped up at major bus terminals and machines. For PCOS 2026, the bus is a realistic budget option if your hotel sits on a route toward Al Bustan, but journey times are longer than a taxi. Intercity coaches to Dubai take roughly 1.5-2 hours and cost about AED 25 one way, which is useful if you are extending the trip for meetings in the other emirate.
Parking: Novotel Abu Dhabi Al Bustan provides complimentary on-site valet and indoor parking for hotel guests, which makes a self-drive plan practical for delegates who want to explore the UAE around the 23-24 November 2026 sessions. Non-resident day parking and any overflow arrangements during the conference should be confirmed directly with the property, as the hotel does not publish a public conference parking tariff. If you are staying elsewhere, check whether your hotel includes parking before hiring a car, since city-centre and ADNEC-area properties vary.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: November 2026 (conference days 23-24 November)
Temperature: Approx. 21-31 C by day and 18-23 C at night, based on November norms for Abu Dhabi; confirm the actual forecast in the week before travel
Seasonality: November falls in Abu Dhabi's dry season, so rain is uncommon and unlikely to disrupt the 23-24 November 2026 sessions. The main seasonal consideration is strong indoor air-conditioning rather than outdoor heat.
Packing: Pack light business attire with a jacket or cardigan for heavily air-conditioned meeting rooms, comfortable shoes for long session days inside the hotel, sunglasses and sunscreen for transfers, and a refillable bottle for the warm outdoor stretches between taxi and lobby. A light scarf is useful for modest dress in public buildings.

Planning

T-1
Day 14-12: confirm your Plenareno registration tier (Presenter, Attendee, or Student/Internist) and pay the published fee in AED so your badge is issued before arrival
T-2
Day 12-10: book flights into Zayed International (AUH) for arrival on 22 or 23 November 2026, building in a buffer day before the 23-24 November sessions
T-3

T-4
Day 8-7: check UAE entry rules for your passport and, if a visa is needed, start the application through a UAE airline, hotel or licensed agency
T-5
Day 7-5: download the scientific programme and mark the nutrition, endocrine and fertility sessions you cannot miss; note any abstract or poster deadlines the organiser lists
T-6
Day 5-3: arrange airport transfer or plan the AUH taxi / bus route, and note that Abu Dhabi buses use a Hafilat card rather than cash
T-7
Day 3-1: check the November forecast, pack light layers for air-conditioned rooms, and save an offline copy of your registration confirmation and hotel voucher

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
- A common endocrine condition in women of reproductive age defined by a combination of ovulatory dysfunction, excess androgen activity and polycystic ovarian morphology. The conference is dedicated to its diagnosis and long-term management.
- Rotterdam criteria
- The widely used diagnostic framework requiring two of three features: oligo-ovulation or anovulation, clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasound. Expect diagnostic sessions at PCOS 2026 to reference these thresholds.
- Hyperandrogenism
- Excess production or effect of androgens, showing up clinically as hirsutism or acne and biochemically as raised testosterone or free androgen index. A core assessment axis in PCOS work-up and a likely topic in the endocrine sessions.
- Anovulation
- Failure of the ovary to release an oocyte during a cycle, producing irregular or absent menstruation and subfertility. It is one of the three Rotterdam descriptors and the entry point for most fertility discussions at the meeting.
- Insulin resistance
- Reduced tissue response to insulin, commonly accompanying PCOS and driving compensatory hyperinsulinaemia, weight gain and metabolic risk. Nutrition and metabolic sessions at the conference address screening and lifestyle-based management.
- AMH (anti-Mullerian hormone)
- A marker produced by small antral follicles, used to estimate ovarian reserve. Levels are often elevated in PCOS, which complicates interpretation during fertility assessment.
- Hirsutism
- Excessive terminal hair growth in a male-pattern distribution in women, scored clinically with the modified Ferriman-Gallwey scale. It is the most visible clinical sign of hyperandrogenism discussed at PCOS meetings.
- Letrozole ovulation induction
- An aromatase inhibitor used off-label as first-line pharmacological ovulation induction in PCOS, frequently compared with clomiphene citrate in fertility sessions.
- Metabolic syndrome
- A cluster of central obesity, dyslipidaemia, raised blood pressure and impaired glucose regulation. PCOS raises lifetime risk, so the conference pairs reproductive content with cardiometabolic screening advice.
- Adolescent PCOS
- Diagnosis in teenagers is complicated by normal pubertal irregularity and physiological acne, so stricter criteria and follow-up are used. This is a recurring sub-theme in clinical PCOS programmes.
- Hafilat card
- The stored-value smart card used to pay Abu Dhabi public bus fares. Buy or top up at major bus stations and machines if you plan to use the bus network during your stay.
- Zayed International (AUH)
- Abu Dhabi's main commercial airport and the arrival point for most international delegates travelling to the conference.
