Also, am I correct in my understanding that UK citizens can get a short term visa upon arrival or is it better (quicker) to apply in advance?
There wouldn't be much open around that time. Maybe a few 24 hour cafe's around souq or along the corniche. Everything would still be lit up which would be quite good to see whilst quite. Also the weather is slowly getting better with the humidity dropping now in the evenings.
