Best Eid Al Adha Offers for Dubai Residents

Many people in Dubai will celebrate the upcoming Eid Al Adha at home with their families, enjoying the festive meals and exchanging of gifts, while others will embark on the traditional pilgrimage to Mecca. However, if you are among the large number of Dubai residents who still have no special plans for the holiday break, travelling could be a great choice.

We have searched and found several hotel and airline offers on the Internet, in case you have decided to make the best of your Eid Al Adha break. Usually, prices during the holidays are very high, especially if you make up your mind in the last minute. But we did a little digging and found that travelling during Eid doesn’t have to be so expensive.

 Marriott’s hotels, for example, have special seasonal offers across some of their most popular resorts in Europe, Asia and U.S. Right now, they are offering a 20% discount on 3-night stays, or longer, at their Marriott Vacation Club and on a few hotels and resorts for solo travelers and families. Their Fall Escapes include the Hawaii and the Caribbean islands, which maybe won’t be the perfect place for someone living under the Dubai sun. In that case, you can also choose Marriott’s Grande Vista in Orlando, Florida which offers great family fun with the nearby adventure parks. You can also book at Las Vegas’ Marriott Grand Chateau or choose a completely different destination. Marriot has also resorts in Phuket, Thailand, and the Phuket Beach Club also participates with discounted room rates. These special rates are valid for bookings until the end of November, so you still have time to decide.

Accor hotels also offer great savings this Eid. Their hotels across Malaysia, Bali, Indonesia and Singapore have discounted room prices and provide complimentary breakfasts and unlimited Wi-Fi. However, in order to get advantage of the offers, you should book online at their official website. Searching for travel agencies and their range of offers is, besides, not a very good idea. Accor-operated hotels in Malaysia will grant you free F&B and spa or shopping voucher, worth of MYR 50. Isn’t that super-deal – letting the kids have fun at the pool while you can forget about all the responsibilities and chores during a free, relaxing massage? And if you choose a hotel in Bali or Lombok, you will get either a free 1-hour massage or a dinner for two. Ibis Family hotels in Indonesia offer complimentary breakfasts, Wi-Fi, and dining vouchers. And Accor-operated hotels in Singapore give you the opportunity to save up to 66%!

Once you choose your destination and hotel, you need to find the best way to get there. While destinations are relatively close, we don’t recommend a travel by car – driving in a foreign country can be tricky and even dangerous. Besides, it’s too uncomfortable and slow. In addition, you need to obtain an international driving license from Dubai’s RTA in advance.  Travelling by sea or train will also eat up all your available days, so you have one option – by plane. Right now, the Emirates Airline has a large number of offers for Eid. The company provides extraordinary service, as well as comfortable, luxury experience while at the same time offers reasonable prices. The airline has special rates for return Economy Class airfares from Dubai to several Asian destinations – Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, and others.

However, Emirates, or Emirates Holidays which you can access from the carrier official website www.emirates.com, also offer special Eid packages for travelers from Dubai. This is the best option, especially if you have no time to search for hotels, rooms, flights, and so on. You can book everything at once easily online with their Eid Escapes to hundreds of destinations across the world. You can choose a short or a longer stay at 3-,4-, and 5-star hotels in Europe, Asia, South America, the U.S. or the Asian Pacific. The packages include return Economy Class airfares from Dubai, room taxes, airport departure tax, service fees and all other fees. Breakfasts, as well as many other services will be prepaid, so you will be able to spend more on entertainment, family or romantic dinners, museums, and of course, gifts.

On the holiday page of Qatar Airways you may also find tailor-made holiday packages that include various hotel options.

When planning your Eid travel, take some time, and select your dream destination, your dream hotel and why not, your dream airline? Decide whether you are travelling alone or taking the whole family and set up your budget. Searching for the best offers and deals is not only for those who traditionally can’t afford pricy services. Searching for the best deals means you will have additional finances for all kinds of whims and kinks, and fancies you have. And try to book your accommodation and flight in advance, simply because if you wait until the last minute, they will most probably be reserved. If you plan ahead, you can have one untraditional, but wonderful Eid this year.
