What’s the perfect Eid Al Fitr holiday? After a month of fasting and restriction, many will celebrate at home with their families, but others have found a much more exciting way to spend the holiday – exploring the world, or at least the nearby and popular travel destinations. Whether you are taking the whole week off or just having a short holiday, there are various destinations you may choose. But to help with the task, we’ve dug up some great offers for travelers from the UAE.[wpsr_retweet]
It’s not too late to plan an Eid Al Fitr holiday, whether you decide to visit a faraway exotic country or a nearby unique resort. Booking a special holiday package with a travel agent may turn out a bit pricy at this time, but you can also take advantage of the offers we’ve found online. There are special promotions on airfares with some of the most popular regional airlines. For instance, Qatar Airways have limited-time discounts on return Economy Class flight tickets from Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah to various popular cities around the world. A trip to Istanbul will cost you only AED 1,375, while to Singapore it will be AED 1,725 (starting prices). However, some of the destinations must be booked by tomorrow, 15th July. The final date for the rest of them is 22nd July – right in time for Eid. Emirates Airlines have also special Economy Class fares to select destinations, so travelers can check the Special Offers page on their website for the latest promotions.
But booking a flight is easy; how to find a good hotel with reasonable rates in the last minute? These two airlines also offer prepaid travel packages which include return airfares, hotel stays and breakfasts. Certainly, one of the best ways to mark the upcoming Eid Al Fitr is experiencing something new and inspiring. For those who are having a shorter holiday this year, a 2- or 3-night excursion to a nearby destination will be ideal. Qatar Airways offers luxury city breaks in Doha and Bahrain from AED 1127, as well as a breathtaking 3-night tour of Jordan, dedicated to the rich history and culture of the country. You will visit the regular attractions in Amman – the Citadel, the National museum, the Roman Amphitheatre and the Folklore Museum. And you will be able to witness one of the most extraordinary places on Earth – the Red Rose City of Petra.
Travelers, who book their Eid vacation by the end of the week, will find a lot more discounted travel packages on the company’s website, which will take you anywhere you want. Emirates Airlines, on the other hand, have a dedicated portal for holidays (EmiratesHolidays.ae), where you can pick up from hundreds of destinations, promotions, and themed trips.
However, one of the best offers you will find right now, off- or online, is Hilton Worldwide Summer Sale, which offers savings of up to 33% discount at hotels across the Middle East & Africa. The offer is available until the end of September and features some of the most popular branded hotels and resorts – Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, DoubleTree, as well as the luxurious Conrad and the extraordinary Waldorf Astoria properties located across the region.
Celebrating with the family and exchanging gifts is really enjoyable for everyone, but why don’t you try a little different approach this year? Travelling and experiencing new things can be very memorable and enriching. When choosing a travel spot for your Eid holiday this year, make sure it is new and unknown – the only way to know you will be truly surprised and excited.
