Eid Al Adha

How will you be celebrating Eid this year? Maybe with the amazing deals on all the family friendly activities you can think of, or a quick trip away with the family for some much needed R&R.

Here are some of our favourite quick getaways from Dubai:

Oman

Whether you chose to drive or fly Oman is a great way to make the most of your holiday days! Think about it, no jet lag, no long haul flights…what more do you need? How about a choice of stunning five star resorts, immersive culture and stunning sight seeing!

Azerbaijan

Less than three hours from the UAE, Azerbaijan's Baku is a unique place for an Eid escape. Take a stroll along the city's waterfront and you'll be just steps from the medieval walls of the Inner City, known as Icherisheher. From there you can explore the narrow roads and the UNESCO-listed Palace of the Shirvanshahs and Maiden Tower.

Goa

Get your fill of sun, sea and sand with an extra dose of relaxation in Goa. It’s just over a three-hour flight from the UAE and is perfect for families and friends alike. Explore the waterfalls and markets until your heart’s content or spend your afternoons lounging on the beach.

Belgium

Make the most of a longer Eid holiday this year with a trip to Belgium. Explore the cobbled streets of Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp or Bruges. Don’t forget your camera, these picturesque towns and cities just shout “Instagramable”!

Westlife Live in Dubai

Boyband fans rejoice as one of the best loved pop groups of the early 2000s reunites after eight years! The lads are back together to celebrate 20 years of Westlife with their highly anticipated reunion tour, the Twenty Tour and are getting ready to rock the Coca-Cola Arena on the 29^th August with their best loved ballads. Grab your tickets quick because it's selling out fast!
