Your Ultimate Guide To Eid

This Eid holds the promise of mega sales, roaring rollercoasters, and fireworks for days. Mark your calendars for a long weekend of fun!

Eid is the time for giving, and this years’ Mega Mall Sale, is the gift that gives all weekend long, and it’s a great way to kick off your Eid celebrations. Whether you’re a resident or visitor, a family or a bargain hunter, there is something for you!

With seven malls involved, you can take advantage of this offer from anywhere from World Trade Centre Mall, Al Jimi Mall, Dalma Mall, Hili Mall, Marina Mall to Yas Mall and even Bawadi Mall. This is a citywide, 24-hours only event across the first day of Eid Al Fitr, from 10am on Friday June 15 until 10 am the following day. With 500 of you and your family’s favorite stores and restaurants involved, there’s no reason to miss out!

On the occasion of Eid Al Fitr, families and friends are invited to Yas Marina to help kickstart the celebrations with a firework display spectacular. The daily firework extravaganza will start at 9pm every night during Eid. We recommend catching the display from the Yas Marina promenade and be sure to take your family down at 7pm to enjoy some carnival games and night markets, but don’t worry about the heat, you can still enjoy the festivities from one of Yas Marina’s air-conditioned restaurant terraces.

Make it an extra special evening by watching the fireworks from on board a traditional dhow with Captain Tony’s Eid Fireworks Fun Cruise, or from the internationally acclaimed Cipriani Yas Island restaurant where you can enjoy authentic Italian food on the water’s edge and watch the glistening firework display.

Closer to the city, there will also be a 5-minute firework display at Abu Dhabi Corniche, as well in Al Ain at the Hazza bin Zayed stadium, guaranteed to provide you and your family with unforgettable memories and unique entertainment.

Following the firework display, keep the Eid mood going with an adrenaline rush at Ferrari world, who will be keeping their doors open for 24 hours on June 15^th. Guests will be able to enjoy free entry after 6pm and experience a head-spinning program of shows and games, with music through the decades, from the 50s right up to the 90s.

Or, if you’d rather cool off with a giant splash, be sure to check out Yas Waterworld’s newest attraction, Cinesplash. This 5D water adventure promises to take guests on an interactive journey that simulates effects including spraying water, water explosions, rain, waterfalls and much more. Families and friends will also be able to enjoy traditional Ayyala performances, get ornate henna paintings, and try Arabic ‘gahwa’ with dates.

Treat you and your family to a little staycation this Eid at the five-star Arabic-inspired luxury hotel, Saadiyat Rotana Resort and Villas. The hotel are offering 25% off their best available rates, and if you spend AED699 at Hamilton’s, Si Ristorante, or Sim Sim restaurants, you’ll receive a complimentary night stay at one of Rotana’s UAE hotels and resorts this summer.

LEGOLAND Dubai are running a summer offer starting from only AED95 for residents which includes park admission and all-day dining. You and your family will be able to enjoy eating at all of their restaurants and get a refillable drinks bottle. If you book 3 days in advance, you will also save an extra 10%.

Once you’re shopped out at Yas Mall’s mega sale, Cascade Dining will be hosting performances and interactive activities for families. The whole area will be transformed into an Oasis with Majlis setting where you can still indulge in a selection of dishes made especially for the occasion.

These festivities, as well as the Abu Dhabi Summer Season coming later this month, are sure to enhance your summer in the Emirate, whether you’re just passing through or you’re living here long-term, making Abu Dhabi the place to be this summer!
