Have you made plans for Eid yet? Join us for a fun-filled getaway perfect for creating new memories. Here’s a guide to how to make the most of celebrating Eid in the city and why Dubai Creek Resort is the perfect place to experience it all.

Celebrating Eid in Dubai

Eid is a time of celebration spent with loved ones. Dubai is a special city to celebrate Eid in, and it really pulls out all the stops for all to share in the festivities. You can expect to find all sorts of activities being promoted to make it extra special for all. There are also a number of last-minute offers and specials everywhere, from boutiques to staycation deals, which are often announced last minute. 

Eid brings people together with a resoundingly joyful spirit in the air. If you’ll be spending this Eid in Dubai, here are some of the activities you can look forward to. By setting out your plans for the week-long public holiday, you’ll be sure not to miss out on anything exciting.

Dine with us 

One of the biggest markers of Eid is lunch. People get together to eat their first lunch since fasting, and it often includes a spread of delicious meals. You can tuck into traditional foods like Middle Eastern signature dishes ouzi (slow-cooked lamb or goat with pine nuts), machboos (a rice dish served with spicy chicken or fish), and luqaimat for dessert (doughnuts dipped in honey). 

There are a number of restaurants on-site at Dubai Creek Resort, so you’ll be spoilt for choice! Take your pick of cuisines and settings and sit back while we do all the cooking. 

Eid shopping

Eid is a time of reflection and giving thanks, with many families exchanging gifts during this time. In the spirit of giving, this is a great time to make purchases, with a selection of special offers and discounts available. Dubai Creek Resort is situated close to the city’s very best shopping destinations, from The Dubai Mall to the Mall of the Emirates.

Uncover the culture

The celebration of Eid dates back hundreds of years. This makes it a great time to become acquainted with the heritage of the United Arab Emirates. Dubai Creek is a gateway to old-world Dubai, where you can learn about the pillars of Islam. Sail with one of our captains across the Creek and be transported to the historical sides of the city in the likes of the Al Fahidi district, filled with alleyways, souks, mosques, and museums to explore. 

Spend a few hours with us as you board at the Marina, sailing past downtown, Burj Khalifa and out into the seas. You can also opt for a one-hour tour that travels down Dubai Creek. 

Stay, play, and swim

Come and play with us at Dubai Creek Resort. Challenge your friends and family to a round of golf or a game of tennis. If you’d prefer to relax poolside, we’ve got the clubhouse pool and Amara pool for splashing fun. Those staying in our villas will have their own private pools too, and of course, there is the Lagoon beach where you can wind down along the coast. 

Celebrating Eid to the Fullest

That wraps up our guide to celebrating Eid in Dubai. People usually pick a special outfit for the day of Eid, so be sure to get your ready. Get ready to celebrate with us here in Dubai, and capture all of the lasting memories you’re bound to create.
