It’s a blend of spirituality, fun, and community spirit that makes Eid in Dubai truly one-of-a-kind.

Anyone wondering how to spend this Eid in Dubai, and what to do during Eid holidays, here you go!

Begin your Eid With Eid Morning Prayers.

Have a great start to your Eid celebrations by going to the special Eid prayer. It’s an important tradition that gathers people to enjoy peace and thankfulness. Whether you’re with family members or meeting friends, having a meal at the start helps everyone come together and get closer.

Jumeirah Mosque is admired by many, especially for Eid prayers, thanks to its calm look and welcoming aesthetics. On Eid, the streets outside Bur Dubai’s Grand Mosque fill with happy crowds right in the centre of Old Dubai. After praying, people tend to greet one another, give sweets to each other, and enjoy the moment. Having a morning routine is a nice way to kick off your day.

Satisfy Your Cravings — Dive Into Dubai’s Eid Feast

What everyone cannot wait for on Eid is the fantastic food. The selection in Dubai is simply incredible. You can enjoy Emirati feasts as usual, along with international tastings at many restaurants.

Food Recommendation:

• In Al Fahidi, check out SMCCU to eat a genuine Emirati lunch while surrounded by cultural buildings and beautiful architecture.
• If you book a table at either Turquoise or Al Nafoorah, you can enjoy their special Eid brunches.
• Alternatively, try a nearby coffee shop or bistro — many places here in Dubai have put together special menus just for December 25th.
• Be ready to taste delicious lamb, aromatic rice, stuffed dates, and you can’t miss sweet luqaimat.

Adventure Calls! Desert Safaris & Sky-High Thrills

There’s a whole range of exciting activities for anyone who enjoys more than simply shopping and eating.

Some possible things to do:

• Join a desert safari: you can bash through the dunes, see the sunset, and enjoy an outdoor barbecue—that’s why it’s so popular.
• Rise above the desert at sunrise on a hot air balloon.
• IMG Worlds of Adventure and Dubai Parks and Resorts are good options for family members who enjoy adrenaline!

Because a number of these attractions run Eid specials, it makes sense to plan your visit. There are always plenty of fireworks, shows, and nighttime sparkles. A wonderful thing about Eid in Dubai is that Staging plays is a big part of what the city does. There will be several sky-high fireworks, live music, and fascinating cultural events everywhere.
